Many people would like to re-shape parts of their body, particularly the abdomen, legs and neck. Even after dieting and exercise some people find they have unsightly fatty areas which they cannot shift. Localised deposits of fat can often be effectively dealt with by liposuction. An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is an effective way of smoothing out the abdomen and removing excess skin and fat. People having this surgery have often been through childbirth or have successfully lost weight.
