Background: Many patients are seeking body contouring surgery after massive weight loss as they have skin redundancy. So, skin resection via abdominoplasty can help to improve skin quality and eliminate the redundancy. This type of patients may need more than one surgical touch; i.e. combined surgeries.
Objective: To evaluate the results of Fleur De Lis and Traditional techniques in post massive weight loss patients; objective and subjective evaluation.
Patients and Methods: This prospective study included 30 patients of massive weight loss who attended to Al-Azhar University Hospitals, Cairo (Al-HusseinHospital, and SayedGalalHospital) during the period from Jan 2020 to June 2021. They were divided into two equal groups: Group “A" was done by Flue De Lis technique, and group “B" was done by the traditional technique, and compared the results of both techniques.
Results: The magnitude of Fleur De Lis technique over traditional technique in post bariatric patients was a safe procedure, and giving an excellent result in body contouring to improve the quality of life, social and physical activities, and sexual performance.
Conclusion: Fleur De Lis abdominoplasty was a good option for post bariatric female patients with upper skin laxity who were seeking exaggerated waist circumference and feminine waist hip ratio (WHR).
