Having said that, I don't think removing excess flab through surgery would be haram, since you can do that just by exercising anyway. That's just an easier path.

Allahu alim though
Aren't all three of your examples purely for cosmetic purposes? Possibly with the exception of the excess flab, since you could say that's for health purposes instead of cosmetic, although getting it sucked out is certainly not the most healthy way of getting it done.
