| This procedure is called a submental lipectomy and is a surgical procedure which removes local fat deposits under the chin. |
| Liposuction or careful lipectomy will be applied in case of fat excess. |
| If the stretch mark extends well above that level, some of them may be left behind, even in a belt lipectomy. |
| Other commonly used terms for this type of surgery are: cosmetic lipectomy, tummy lift, abdominal lift, abdominal redraping, tummyplasty, plasty of the abdomen, among many others. |
| Liposuction-assisted lipectomy, usually performed by a subspecialist, can be successful in removing even large lipomas with minimal scarring. |
| Suction lipectomy is a form of plastic surgery in which an attempt is made to improve the contours of the body by removing fat through suction. |
