Will a tummy tuck address the fat above my belly button?

Asked By:DGirl123 in Dallas, TX

I'm looking at getting a full tummy tuck done. Some answers here suggest that fat will be removed above the belly button, and then that some surgeons also do liposuction. Can you please clarify, how would fat be removed above the belly button without lipo? I have more dense fat above the belly button, it is still subcutaneous fat and not visceral. I have some fat under the belly button but it's easier to grab and hangs like it's lighter. Will a tummy tuck address both?
