This 47-year-old woman came to consult with Dr. Romanelli in Melville, Long Island, following an incredible 100-pound weight loss. She was thrilled with her health milestone but left with a substantial amount of loose, hanging abdominal skin that overshadowed her hard work and success.
To restore her contour, Dr. Romanelli performed a Fleur de Lis abdominoplasty under general anesthesia. This specialized approach was ideal for her needs, addressing skin laxity in multiple directions. During the procedure, Dr. Romanelli tightened her vertical abdominal muscles by five centimeters to reconstruct a firm, supportive foundation, then precisely removed the horizontal and vertical excess skin to create a flat, contoured midsection.
Her recovery was enhanced by an overnight stay in our private recovery suite, attended by a private duty nurse. By the following morning, she was walking about and ready to head home after Dr. Romanelli checked in on her.
Now, one year post-operative, she is recovering wonderfully and is absolutely thrilled with her results. Her incisions have healed beautifully into clean, faint lines, leaving her with a flat, tight stomach that finally reflects her milestone weight loss achievement.
