# Aesthetic results in twin case undergoing transverse abdominoplasty versus Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty after massive weight loss

## TL;DR

This paper compares the aesthetic outcomes of two body contouring procedures in identical twins after significant weight loss.

## Contribution

It highlights the Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty as a superior choice for achieving an attractive female contour.

## Key findings

- The Fleur-de-Lis pattern is effective for moderate to significant horizontal skin excess.
- Transverse abdominoplasty may not provide the same aesthetic results as the Fleur-de-Lis technique.
- Identical twins showed differing aesthetic outcomes based on the procedure used.

## Abstract

This identical twin case demonstrates the aesthetic differences of two different body contouring procedures in alike patients. Body contouring improves physical, psychosocial, and sexual function therefore providing the best possible aesthetic outcome for massive weight loss patients is important. The Fleur-de-Lis pattern should be strongly considered when dealing with moderate to significant horizontal skin excess of the abdomen to obtain the best possible contouring and create an attractive female contour of hip and waist.
