Over the years, the skin loses its elasticity and tends to stretch. If one experiences significant weight shifts or weight loss, it often leaves loose, flabby skin around the arms and thighs. The arms are one of the areas that become flabby and loose, and they become more evident when one wears short sleeve clothes in warmer weather. These large, heavy, disproportionate arms also become a source of embarrassment for many people. The thighs are another body area that may have excess skin and loss of skin elasticity after significant weight loss or due to aging. With the increasing popularity of bariatric surgery for weight loss, many people seek skin tightening surgery for their arms and thighs. For people with relatively firm skin and significant fat deposits, liposuction can give satisfactory results, but in most of these patients, some excision and tightening become necessary. At Inform Clinics, Hyderabad, an arm lift or thigh lift surgery can help restore these areas to give one a more youthful and firmer appearance. The tightening of arms is called Arm lift or Brachioplasty. The arm lift surgery results in a more contoured and firm appearance of the arms. The arm lift operation is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the arms. Similarly, in a thigh lift, the excess skin from the thighs is removed. Inner thighs are most prone to laxity and descent of the skin and excess tissue. An inner thigh lift is a commonly performed body contouring procedure. Outer thigh laxity is seen in massive weight loss patients. Tightening is done during a complete thigh lift or as a part of belt lipectomy or mid-body lift procedure. The surgery is performed in several variations depending upon the skin redundancy. The length of incision and scar depends on how much of the skin needs to be removed. The benefits of these surgeries include a toned appearance, the ability to fit into trendy clothing, and, most importantly ability to exercise easier and better. People who request arm and thigh lifts fall into two broad categories. The surgeon creates a marking on the elbows, arms, and armpits. The direction or length of the incision depends upon the amount of fat and skin being removed. General anesthesia is given, and then the surgeon makes the necessary incisions to remove excess skin and fat. The incisions of the surgery are concealed within the armpits in the most inconspicuous locations possible. Excess fat is removed by liposuction. After the excess fat and skin is removed, the incision is brought together to provide smoother and firmer arm contour. The surgeon closes the incision area strategically to minimize scarring. A sterile dressing and a compression garment are worn to support the treated area. There are two different ways to perform thigh lift surgery; medial and lateral thigh lift. After a physical examination and thorough medical history study, the surgeon determines which thigh lift is most appropriate for an individual. In medial thigh lift, the incisions are made in the groin area, and in these treatments, patients require substantial removal of excess skin. In such cases, the incision is made in the inner thigh area. In lateral thigh lift, depending upon the patient requirements, the incisions are made. Extending from the groin area, around the hip, and sometimes a buttock fold, incision is also made. The incision scars are hidden in the clothing, and in this surgery incision is more extensive than a medial thigh lift. The surgeon makes markings, and then the patient is administered general anesthesia. Various monitors are used for patient safety to check the pulse rate, heartbeat, blood pressure, and amount of oxygen circulation in the blood. The surgical plan is then followed during the surgery, and drainage tubes are placed in place, and the surgical dressing is placed over the surgical site, and the patient will wear a compression garment. Arm and thigh lift procedures require careful planning regarding the amount of skin excision, optional placement of scars, whether to include liposuction in the procedure, etc., as meticulous planning gives the best possible results. The typical duration of an arm lift is about 2 to 3 hours. About 2 to 3 hours are required for an inner thigh lift and 3 to 4 hours for total thigh lifts. In the presence of a suitable operating team and multiple surgeons, arm and thigh lifts can be combined and simultaneously operated, and patient factors have to be taken into consideration as well. An arm lift surgery can be done in 2 different ways. Mini arm lift – Done for people who have mild excess skin. This results in a scar in the armpit crease only. A thigh lift can be done in 2 different ways. For minimal, vertical skin excess, the scar can be put in the grain only. For large skin excess, a vertical scar over the medial aspect of the thigh is given. Complete thigh lift produces scars near the groin crease and the hip region as well. These scars are thin, linear scars, usually well hidden from view. Fat exists in the well-compartmentalized tissue in the thigh and buttock regions. These compartments are formed by fibrous tissue stretching between the skin and the deep fascia. A thigh lift does not alter this architecture but the tightening of the skin during the lift does give some smoothness to the skin surface. The typical duration of an arm lift is about 2 to 3 hours. About 2 to 3 hours are required for an inner thigh lift and 3 to 4 hours for total thigh lifts. Patients undergoing arm lift are given compression dressing and allowed to walk and discharged on the same day. Patients undergoing thigh lift are given compression stockings and are allowed to walk in the morning after the surgery. Depending on the extent of surgery, total recovery takes between 1 to 2 weeks. The occurrence of severe complications from thigh lift and arm lift body contouring treatments are infrequent. Some risks associated with the treatment are: Hence, one must always undergo treatment from an expert surgeon so that there is minimal risk of getting any complications from the surgery.
