This is a massive transformation using a fleur de lis tummy tuck combined with a brachioplasty. After significant weight loss, excess skin can hide the results of all that hard work and create functional challenges with movement, hygiene, and comfort. This approach allows for comprehensive contouring when a standard tummy tuck is not enough.
Dr. Arredondo designed the fleur de lis incision to remove skin both vertically and horizontally, revealing the natural waistline underneath. At the same time, a brachioplasty addressed the excess skin of the upper arms to better match the patient’s frame and restore balanced proportions.
The before and after results are dramatic. Clothing fits the way it should, movement feels easier, and the transformation finally reflects the weight loss journey that was already achieved. This is about restoring function, confidence, and quality of life.
