Arm and Thigh Lift
Arm & Thigh Lift at Aestheticon®
The Arm Liposuction & Thigh Lift is a Cosmetic Body Surgery that we provide at Aestheticon® – International Center of Plastic Surgery, Aesthetic Treatments & Hand Surgery.
The skin around the inner thigh to form a more aesthetically pleasing frame. The outer thigh is generally not targeted in a thigh lift as liposuction and a butt lift tend to produce better results in that area of the leg.
This procedure requires a surgical incision of varying size based on how much skin must be removed. The location of the incision is usually on the medial side of the thigh and can be adjusted based on clothing preference or overall reduction of visibility.
After surgery, the patient is dressed in a compression garment to limit swelling. Discomfort is generally minimal in smaller lifts, but when large amounts of skin are removed, an overnight stay in the hospital may be required. In either case, pain medication and anti-inflammatory methods will be utilized.
Light labor is normally possible after less than two weeks, while most physical activity is permissible at four to six weeks. All symptoms should be gone and scars maximally faded within six months.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess fat and skin from the upper arms for a more toned, slimmer appearance. Over time, the soft tissue in the upper arm becomes lax and may begin to droop and sag, resulting in arms that appear loose and hanging. Many people are embarrassed by the appearance of sagging upper arms, and seek treatment to restore a slimmer, more youthful appearance.
The arm lift procedure is ideal for patients who have a significant amount of excess, hanging skin or fat in the upper arm area, maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations for surgery. It is also important that patients are healthy overall, with no major medical conditions that may be affected by surgery.
At Aestheticon we use a special surgical technique both for arm and thigh lifts, which is called the hockey scar lift. This technique was developed and published by Dr. Eren and Dr. Ghofrani. The advantage of this technique is to reduce visible scars and possible healing problems and at the same time achieve a very good tightening effect.
At Aestheticon®, we focus on providing safe, advanced, and personalized arm and thigh lift procedures using modern surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking body contour results.
