The body is subjected to many changes as time passes: Weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, exercise, lack of exercise and ageing all contribute to these changes. There are a number of plastic surgery techniques that have been designed to specifically treat problem areas over the tummy, back, hips, buttocks, thighs and legs. A proper assessment of the areas of concern, with a well thought out treatment plan, based on the patients age, quality of their tissues, current and future weight and lifestyle, will provide the most favourable surgical outcome.
