title: The Fleur-De-Lis abdominoplasty.
abstract: Vertical abdominoplasty is a safe and effective procedure to correct abdominal contour abnormalities in individuals with excessive soft tissue in both the vertical and transverse orientation. The literature, although limited, supports the effectiveness of this procedure in addressing this clinical scenario. Further, the complication rates are comparable to a standard transverse abdominoplasty.
