I was wondering if someone can be so kind to explain a lot of the words used on this forum. I truly need flabby skin things done, but need to know what the proper terms are so I don't sound like an idiot when I call for appt. Thanks

The anchor cut, also called the fleur de lis, is where they make a vertical incision from your pubic area up to your breasts to tighten from side to side.
