Arm & Thigh Lift Surgery
Arm & Thigh lift surgery reshapes the Arms & Thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the Arm & Thigh and body.
If fitness and weight control efforts have not achieved your goals for a body that is firmer, more slim, sexy, youthful-looking and more proportionate to your overall body image, a surgical lift may be right for you.
What Arm & Thigh lift surgery can’t do?
Arm & Thigh lifts are not intended strictly for the removal of excess fat. Liposuction alone can remove excess fat deposits where skin has good elasticity and is able to naturally conform to new body contours.
In cases where skin elasticity is poor, a thigh lift along with liposuction may be recommended.
Arm Lift
Arm lift, clinically known as brachioplasty, is an ideal procedure to eliminate loose, hanging skin from your upper arms and create a more pleasing upper body appearance. Your cosmetic surgeon will create an incision in the lower, hidden part of your upper arm to remove excess fat pockets and trim away loose skin.
Thereafter, the surgeon will carefully re-drape the skin tightly and smoothly to match with the new, youthful arm contours.
Whether your upper arm skin has sagged because of aging or after a substantial weight loss, you can benefit from an arm lift. Your surgeon will determine whether a full or partial arm lift surgery may be more appropriate for you. They will help you make the best decision in accordance with your natural arm contours and your personal aesthetic needs.
People often wonder how a plastic surgery in a relatively small area of the body will meet their personal goals. But with an arm lift surgery, your slender arms will create an overall visual impact of a noticeably fitter, sexy, and youthful overall figure.
Thigh lift
Thigh lift is a safe and effective way to achieve tighter and smoother looking upper legs. Thighs can be a problematic area for many people because the tissue in this area may not easily respond to diet and exercise. Loose skin in the thighs can occur due to aging, sedentary lifestyle, pregnancy or major weight fluctuations.
Thigh lift is an ideal solution to restore attractive upper legs, by removing loose skin and fat, while refining and toning the thigh muscle and tissue. Your plastic surgeon will assess your condition and recommend the appropriate thigh lift technique to suit your unique requirements.
The size, shape, and location of the incisions will be planned according to the surgical technique used for your thigh lift. Your surgeon will begin the procedure by placing an incision in a discreet location as per your customized surgical plan. Through the incision, they will modify the underlying tissue while eliminating tiny fat pockets and some soft tissue.
In some cases, the underlying thigh muscles may also be tightened to create a firmer appearance. Finally, the surgeon will trim any excess skin, and pull the remaining skin taut to create a svelte look of your thighs. The incisions will then be closed with dis-solvable or removable sutures.
In preparing for arm & thigh lift surgery, you may be asked to:
- Get lab testing or a medical evaluation
- Take certain medications or adjust your current medications
- Stop smoking and alcohol
- Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements or other medications that may increase bleeding
What should you expect during your arm & thigh lift recovery?
During your recovery from arm & thigh lift surgery, dressings/bandages may be applied to your incisions following the procedure.
Small, thin tubes may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain excess fluid or blood that may collect.
You will be given specific instructions by your surgeon that may include:
- How to care for the surgical site(s)
- Medications to apply or take orally to aid healing
- Specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health
- Following your physician’s instructions is key to the success of your surgery.
It is important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, swelling, abrasion or motion during the time of healing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself.
What results should you expect after thigh lift surgery?
The smoother, tighter contours that result from arm lift surgery are apparent almost immediately following your procedure. Initial results will be obscured by swelling and bruising, and a scar will remain where the incision was made. Following a thigh lift, skin quality is improved both in appearance and feel.
Although good results are expected from your procedure, In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary.
The results of arm lift surgery will be long-lasting, provided that you maintain a stable weight and general fitness. As your body ages, it is natural to lose some firmness, but most of your improvement should be relatively permanent.
