Does a Tummy Tuck Remove Any Fat?

It's been long Enough
Getting full TT with muscle repair Jan 2012. Looking at before and after photos many people have some lipo or body sculpting done. Wondering if full TT will remove ANY fat in the lower abs. Just "in general." I'am 5'4", 128lbs,4 children,one 10lbs then another 15 months later I weighed 220 at the birth! I have good muscle tone under the stretched skin. Stretch marks 2-3" above BB, I know they will remain. Normally will would TT insision go far enough to lift outer thigh AT ALL? hopping a little.
