Yes: In a word, yes! the "tummy tuck" procedure, or abdominoplasty, is designed to removed excess skin and fat from the abdominal wall and tighten the abdominal wall muscles, often following childbirth and/or significant weight loss.

Yes: A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgery to remove excess skin and tighten the muscles of the abdomen that have been stretched out (usually from being pregnant). It is not a weight loss procedure. The skin below the belly button is removed and the skin above the belly button remains. Thus, any stretch marks above the belly button will remain but may end up below the belly button.

Yes: A tummy tuck is done to correct the changes that occur from pregnancy that you can't do with diet and exercise: tighten loose skin, remove stretch marks, and reduce localized fat if any. Typically the skin where the stretch marks are is the area that is removed, between the belly button and the pubic area, leaving a bikini line scar.

Maybe: Depends on the extent of marks and how high they extend above the belly button. Also, you must have enough excess skin to lift and pull down for removal...To the extent the marks are within the excision of tissue line, they are removed.

Yes: Tummy tucks (witch hazel) are done for one or more of the three things you can't do with diet and exercise: loose skin, localized fat, and repair of muscle separation after pregnancy. Typically the stretch marks are concerntrated in the skin that is removed with tummy tuck, between the belly button and the pubic area.

Below the navel: A tummy tuck can be extremely effective in removing stretch marks in the skin below the belly button. Stretch marks in other locations (hips, upper tummy) will not be affected.

To some degree: A tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscles and removes most if not all of the skin under the belly button. The skin above the belly button is pulled down. This removes the loose skin and any stretch marks below the b button. Stretch marks above the b button before surgery usually end up below it after surgery.
