What to Expect During the Arm Lift and Thigh Lift Surgery?
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
This procedure involves removing extra skin and fat from the upper arms, often from the underarm to the elbow. The result is a firmer, more defined appearance.
Thigh Lift (Thighplasty)
This surgery removes excess tissue and tightens the area to achieve a streamlined contour for patients with sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs.
Recovery
Both procedures are performed under anesthesia; patients typically return home the same day. Recovery includes rest, wearing compression garments, and following personalized care instructions from your surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most individuals resume light activities within two weeks and full activities within six weeks. During the initial recovery period, it is essential to refrain from strenuous movements, especially activities that put pressure on the treated areas. Following your surgeon’s aftercare tips, such as wearing compression garments and attending follow-up appointments, can guarantee a smooth recovery and successful results.
While scarring is a natural part of surgery, our team uses advanced techniques to minimize and strategically place incisions for discreet results. Incisions are normally placed in areas that can be hidden by clothing, such as along the inner arm or groin area. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable.
Combining procedures is possible, depending on your overall health, surgical goals, and the extent of the treatment areas. Combining surgeries can offer the convenience of a single recovery period while addressing multiple areas of concern. During your initial consultation, your surgeon will identify your needs and discuss whether combining these procedures is the safest and most effective option for you.
The results of an arm or thigh lift can be long-term, especially if you sustain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding significant weight fluctuations can help preserve your results. While the natural aging process may cause some changes over time, most patients report being highly satisfied with their improved contours for many years.
