Did anyone NOT have lipo with their tummy tuck/abdominoplasty?

I just had my first PS consultation yesterday, and was very surprised to hear the PS say that almost all of what I had was excess skin and not fat, and that he would most likely not being doing any lipo in my abdominal area or arms when i get my brachioplasty done. I'm a little leery of this because I was actually looking forward to the lipo as it sucks out those fat cells permanently, which means fat cannot come back to that particular area (it's true - research it if you don't believe me). Although he is cutting of quite a bit of skin, if he does no lipo, the fat has cells to come back to in that area, and that scares the bejesus out of me because most of my fat was concentrated in my abdomen (i was quite the apple-shape) and my upper arms, which is why i have so much excess skin in those areas. What is everyone else's Plastic Surgeons telling them about lipo? (Just some background - I am almost 2 years post-op, have lost about 105 lbs, weigh 123, height is 5'0", and I wear size 6's) Thanks in advance for your responses!
