Fleur de lis Tummy Tuck Before and After

Fleur de Lis(FDL) Tummy Tuck Treatment Overview

Overview

Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck, also known as an anchor tummy tuck or weight-loss abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove a large amount of excess skin and stubborn fat from the entire midsection, especially after major weight loss. It helps tighten both vertical and horizontal skin laxity, giving a much flatter, firmer, and more sculpted abdominal shape. This procedure is often chosen by people who have undergone dramatic weight loss and are left with loose, hanging skin that cannot be improved with exercise alone.

Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, the Fleur de Lis technique may result in a longer scar, but the priority is achieving a dramatic body transformation rather than focusing only on scarring. Surgeons carefully place the incision to make it as neat as possible while delivering a significantly improved abdominal contour, helping patients feel more confident and comfortable in their everyday life and clothing.

Scar Camouflage - Now Included in Your Fleur-de-lis Journey!

After Scar Cemeo

Let’s be honest—when it comes to cosmetic surgery, the biggest worry for many isn’t the procedure itself. It’s knowing that the price of finally feeling great in your skin might come with a permanent scar that follows you forever.

At Bella Vou, we already pride ourselves on world-class surgical technique and scar care. But now, we’ve gone one step further. As part of our Fleur-de-lis Tummy Tuck treatment plan, we now include Scar Camouflage—a form of medical tattooing that blends scars into the surrounding skin using skin-toned pigments.

It’s not about hiding the fact you’ve had surgery—it’s about empowering you to feel confident in every detail of your result.

Because the only thing that should be visible post-surgery… is the result.

YOUR SIMPLE
5 STEP
JOURNEY

YOUR SIMPLE 5 STEP JOURNEY

1

Step 1. Free, no-obligation consultation

Bella Vou offers every client a free consultation with an expert, accredited cosmetic surgeon. There's no obligation to proceed to treatment; it's an opportunity to discuss any concerns and receive an impartial professional opinion.

The plastic surgeons will assess your love handles, the volume of fat and the amount of excess skin before suggesting a bespoke treatment plan targeted to your needs. 

2

Step 2. Meet your specialist

During your consultation with the specialist who will perform your Fleur De Lis surgery, you are given a chance to find out more about the procedure and ask any questions you like.

3

Step 3. Preparation for Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck surgery

You'll be given individual pre-treatment or pre-operative advice to reduce any complications and support your speedy and healthy recovery.

It's important to let your specialist know if you're on any prescription or over-the-counter medications. You may be asked to stop taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory tablets, which can increase the risk of bruising. It's also essential to stop smoking cigarettes and e-cigarettes before and after treatment because they can disrupt the healing process.

On the day of your treatment, the team at Bella Vou will welcome you, give you a gown to wear and escort you to the state-of-the-art treatment suite.

Step 4. What happens during Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck?

Fluer de Lis Tummy Tuck is carried out under General Anaesthetic and on average, takes around three hours to perform.

The surgeon makes two incisions - a horizontal one in the lower abdominal area (similar to a traditional tummy tuck) and a vertical incision that runs up the middle of the stomach. Like a traditional Tummy Tuck, an incision will also be made around the belly button. 

Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened. This procedure is more extensive than a standard tummy tuck, so it can involve a longer recovery. After the surgery, patients wear compression garments to support the healing process and achieve a smoother, firmer abdomen.

5

Step 5. Recovery from Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck

Recovery from a Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck is more comprehensive and extended compared to a traditional tummy tuck due to the additional incisions and extensive tissue removal involved. The typical recovery period for a tummy tuck is approximately six weeks. However, some individuals might experience a slower or quicker return to normal activity. It's important to note that the pace of recovery can vary among patients.

In the initial days post-surgery, patients may experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated area, managed with prescribed pain medication. Compression garments support healing and reduce swelling. Light activity is encouraged, while strenuous exercise is gradually reintroduced as advised by the surgeon. Most individuals can return to work within two weeks, depending on their job's physical demands.

Your surgeon will check your progress at regular intervals to ensure that you are healthy and happy with your results. The Bella Vou staff are always available if you have any questions or concerns between appointments.

Once your scars have fully healed—typically between 6 to 12 months post-surgery—we offer Scar Camouflage Treatment, a medical-grade tattooing technique designed to seamlessly blend surgical scars into your natural skin tone. This service can significantly reduce the visibility of scars.
