Yes it does as the skin is stretched right round. If they only remove skin this is an uplift but if they remove any tissue or fat it is a reduction. I have just had skin and glands removed, no fat or tissue. I am now 4 days post op and although i am still bandaged i cannot see any stretchmarks and i did have a lot which is why they were so low. Until they actually open you up they cannot really tell what needs to be removed, there was a lot of confusion as to whether i would be having an uplift or reduction.
I will put pics up soon so feel free to add me if you would like to see scarring etc
Good luck, let me know what you decide.
