Will a tummy tuck or an abdominoplasty remove cellulite?
Cellulite is fatty deposits just under the skin that cause an uneven, dimpled, or rippled appearance of the skin. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty will remove the skin and most of the fatty deposits from the area covered by the skin, but it is difficult to eliminate it entirely. There is no guaranteed way to control cellulite. Some patients have reported success in reducing cellulite through a weight loss program, but others have lost weight without affecting their cellulite.
