Abdominoplasty #29528

Three months after a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, you can see the characteristic inverted-T scar pattern that runs both horizontally across the lower abdomen and vertically up the midline. This technique is chosen when a standard horizontal excision alone won't address significant excess skin in both directions. The patient is a 50-year-old woman weighing 150 lbs, and the before photo shows extensive abdominal skin laxity spanning the full torso. The after photo shows the abdomen flattened and the excess tissue removed, with the scars still maturing at this stage. Scar appearance continues to change for a year or more after surgery. Results vary from patient to patient. Call (248) 885-8858 if you'd like to talk it through.
