An abdominoplasty whose incision carries around the sides toward the lower back, so the surgeon can take skin and fat off the flanks — the love handles. This is the operation most people after a large weight loss actually need, and the one they most often get quoted for the cheaper standard version instead.
Also called: extended tummy tuck, tummy tuck with flanks, fleur de lis tummy tuck, extended tt, love handle surgery

A standard tummy tuck stops at the hip bones, inside the bikini line. That incision cannot reach the flanks. An extended abdominoplasty carries the low incision around the sides toward the lower back, so skin and fat on the love handles can come out in the same operation.
After a large weight loss the looseness is often on the sides as well as the front. A quote labelled "tummy tuck" may be the shorter incision. The two are different operations. Compare them as different prices.
Practices often advertise the surgeon's fee. Anesthesia, the facility, and sometimes garments are billed separately, and they grow with time in the operating room. The typical operating time is on this page. A total here is what someone paid, itemised where they could itemise it.
"Fleur-de-lis" is a different scar: a vertical line down the middle of the abdomen, plus the low horizontal incision. People search for it under this name. A vertical midline scar is a different operation from an incision that wraps toward the back. If your surgery had that vertical scar, say so in the note when you submit, so the two prices stay separable.
This page describes the operation. It is not a recommendation to have surgery.

No. A fleur-de-lis adds a vertical scar down the middle of the abdomen to the low horizontal incision. An extended tummy tuck wraps toward the back. If your surgery had the vertical scar, say so when you submit a price so the two stay separable.
