Figure 7. Some patients may not be ready to commit to an FDL at the initial operation. A pre-operative photograph of a massive weight loss patient is shown (A). She was not willing to commit to a vertical scar at the time of initial surgery. The post-operative result (B) is shown. Eight months later, she elected to undergo an FDL abdominoplasty with a vertical scar and rectus plication (C). FDL: Fleur-de-lis.
