Procedure Performed

ARM AND THIGH LIFT

UPPER ARM LIFT (Brachioplasty)

With age, upper arm skin can become loose and flabby. Excessive fat deposits may also make them unattractive. An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm. In many cases liposuction alone followed by use of a compression sleeve for a few weeks may be sufficient treatment. Brachioplasty in conjunction with liposuction can provide best results in patients with moderate to severe redundancy and flabbiness of skin.

A Y-shaped incision is made on the inner aspect of upper arm extending from axilla to several cm above elbow. After removal of excessive skin and fat, wounds are closed. If required liposuction of the remaining areas is also performed. A linear scar is to be expected on the inner side of arm.

THIGH LIFT

Shapely legs are a distinctive feature of health, vitality and beauty. Sometimes no matter how many miles you walk or how many salads you eat, you just can't get rid of those pockets of unsightly fat. Gravity and aging are other factors that contribute to loss of shape and contour. For others who have lost a significant amount of weight, the skin can sag, ripple and fold in ways that cannot be remedied except with surgery.

A thigh lift removes excess fat, tightens the skin and re-contours the upper leg usually with concealable scars. Thigh lifts can be combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck, arm lift, and breast surgery. Many thigh lifts are performed on the inner thigh, but thigh lifts can also be performed on the outer thigh or included with a buttock lift. In a majority of cases the procedure is also combined with liposuction of excessive fatty deposits along with thigh lift procedure.
