Answer: Will fat above my belly button be removed during a Tummy Tuck and how? There are many factors in determining the final result including the level of undermining, the degree of tension, liposuction, etc. Your surgeon will be the one to ask.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Above the belly button fat Fat above the belly button is addressed first by spreading out the tissue - like flipping the sheets on a bed. For a full abdominoplasty (incision around the belly button, I like to cut out extra fat directly at what is called the Scarpa's fascia level. For a mini abdominoplasty (no incision around the belly button), I like to do it with liposuction.
