Aesthetic results in twin case undergoing transverse abdominoplasty versus Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty after massive weight loss

Abstract

This identical twin case demonstrates the aesthetic differences of two different body contouring procedures in alike patients. Body contouring improves physical, psychosocial, and sexual function therefore providing the best possible aesthetic outcome for massive weight loss patients is important. The Fleur-de-Lis pattern should be strongly considered when dealing with moderate to significant horizontal skin excess of the abdomen to obtain the best possible contouring and create an attractive female contour of hip and waist.
