Body lift of arms or thighs (slimming and toning)

Arm or thigh lift is a procedure by which the previously mentioned areas are reshaped in order to achieve a smoother, more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

This procedure is recommended for people:

  • who have lost their skin elasticity due to ageing;
  • who have gone through massive weight loss and are left with excess skin;
  • who have failed to slim and tone their thighs/arms through exercise and/or diet.

How is the arm or thigh lift performed?

First, we will meet for a consultation to determine what the patient’s expectations are and what we can do to bring them to reality.

Later, during the operation, done under general anaesthesia, I will make an incision and separate the skin from the fat and muscle. Depending on the case, I may need to use liposuction to remove excess fat. I will then remove the excess skin, make sure the area is shaped as required, and then close the incision with sutures.

How do I prepare for a thigh or arm lift?

In preparation for the operation, it will be necessary to:

  • avoid taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs;
  • maintain a certain weight for an extended period of time, since postoperative weight gain can jeopardise the entire effort;
  • Keep yourself very well hydrated.

What will happen after a thigh or arm lift?

The recovery period differs depending on the area where the lifting procedure will be performed.

In general, a thigh lift takes more time and you will need to wear compression bodywear to facilitate the ideal contouring of the leg.

An arm lift heals faster, but requires just as much attention to bandages, hygiene and rest.

With both interventions you can expect bruising and swelling, discomfort and possible pain (for which we prescribe painkillers, depending on the case). The healing process will take 2-3 weeks for the arms and 6-8 weeks for the thighs.

Results can be maintained for a very long time as long as you follow a healthy diet, exercise and maintain a stable weight.
