Scheduled for extended Tummy Tuck soon; had preop exam with my primary care md today and she identified small lipomas in my upper abdomen (area in blue on pic). PS indicated during consult that lipo would not be done on this upper ab area due to blood supply issues there, so I'm concerned about whether these lipomas will be removed during the procedure when the upper ab skin is stretched down into place.
