This 44-year-old woman, once weighing 430 pounds, lost 220 pounds after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, leaving her with substantial abdominal laxity and redundant skin in multiple directions. She liked the fullness of her buttocks and declined a buttock lift or reduction. To address her abdominal concerns, she chose a Fleur-de-Lis (FDL) inverted-T abdominoplasty, commonly called a corset tummy tuck. Over a six-hour operation performed under general anesthesia, Dr. Katzen removed extensive vertical and horizontal excess tissue, elevated and smoothed the mons pubis, tightened her rectus muscles, and reconstructed her umbilicus to create a refined contour. After a two-week recovery period, her abdomen is flatter, cleaner, and vastly more functional. She no longer suffers from the constant skin irritation, moisture trapping, and recurrent infections that once affected her quality of life. She is thrilled with her transformation and grateful for her renewed comfort and confidence.

This 44-year-old patient previously weighed 430 pounds and achieved a remarkable 220-pound weight loss following RNY gastric bypass surgery. Her transformation created severe abdominal redundancy in both vertical and horizontal directions. As she was satisfied with her buttock size and contour, she chose not to undergo any gluteal surgery. Instead, she proceeded with an inverted-T Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, also known as a corset tummy tuck, to correct her abdominal laxity. The six-hour procedure, performed under general anesthesia, involved removing large segments of excess skin and fat, lifting and flattening the mons pubis, repairing abdominal muscle separation, and reconstructing the umbilicus. After a two-week recovery, her abdomen is dramatically smoother, tighter, and more proportionate, with the added benefit of eliminating chronic irritation and infections caused by overhanging skin. She now enjoys improved mobility, comfort, and confidence thanks to her transformative results. #FDLAbdominoplasty #CorsetTummyTuck #WeightLossSkinRemoval #PostGastricBypassSurgery #AbdominalContour #BeforeAfterTummyTuck #DrKatzenSurgeon
