Dual vector abdominoplasty is an advanced form of abdominoplasty surgery designed for patients who have experienced significant weight loss. It combines principles of the Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty with an additional upper abdominal skin excision, allowing excess skin to be addressed in multiple directions, including the upper abdomen and lower chest region.
Recovery after a dual vector abdominoplasty is a structured and closely supervised process. While it shares many similarities with recovery after a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty, there are additional considerations due to the upper abdominal incision that forms part of this operation. In my practice, recovery is approached in a practical, step‑by‑step
A belt lipectomy, sometimes called a lower body lift, is a major body-contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat around the entire torso after significant weight loss or bariatric surgery.

Upper back lipectomy, sometimes called a bra lift or bra line back lift, is a specialised form of lipectomy surgery that targets the upper body, specifically the area along the bra line.

Recovering from a bra lipectomy(upper back lipectomy), also known as a bra line back lift, is a structured and closely supervised process in Dr Bernard Beldholm’s practice. While the surgical procedure itself treats excess skin and redundant tissue along the upper back, the recovery process plays a central role in
Circumferential hybrid abdominoplasty is an extensive body lift (belt lipectomy) procedure that combines a fleur de lis abdominoplasty with a circumferential abdominoplasty (belt lipectomy).

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty Combined With Circumferential Abdominoplasty Recovering from circumferential hybrid abdominoplasty requires time, planning, and structured post-operative support. This procedure combines a Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty with a circumferential abdominoplasty (belt lipectomy), making it a significant surgical procedure with a more complex recovery period than a standard tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
