Arm Lift Surgery Hyderabad

Over time, skin loses its elasticity and tends to stretch, often resulting in loose, flabby skin around the arms and thighs, especially after significant weight shifts or loss. This can lead to large, heavy, and disproportionate arms and thighs, which may cause embarrassment, particularly in warm weather when short sleeves and lighter clothing are worn. The popularity of bariatric surgery has increased the demand for skin tightening procedures like arm and thigh lifts.

At  Sculpt Cosmetic Surgery & Hair Transplant Center, Hyderabad, arm and thigh lift surgeries can restore these areas to a more youthful and firm appearance. An arm
lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the arms, resulting in a more contoured look. Similarly, a thigh lift removes excess skin from the thighs, which is most common in the inner thighs. A complete thigh lift may also address outer thigh laxity, often seen in patients with massive weight loss.

  •  General anaesthesia is administered.
  •  Excess skin and fat are removed, often with liposuction.
  •  Incisions are closed strategically to minimise scarring.

    Thigh Lift Procedure:
  •  Can be performed as medial (inner) or lateral (outer) thigh lift, based on individual needs.
  •  Incisions are made in the groin area, extending as necessary.
  •  Excess skin is removed, and the area is tightened.

Combining Arm and Thigh Lift Surgeries:
With proper planning and a suitable surgical team, arm and thigh lifts can be combined and performed simultaneously, considering the patient’s overall health and specific needs.
Scarring After Surgery:
  • Arm Lift:
    Scars vary based on the procedure. A mini arm lift leaves a scar in the armpit crease, while a full arm lift results in a scar from the armpit to the elbow.
  • Thigh Lift:
    Scars depend on the extent of the procedure. Minimal skin removal leaves a scar in the groin, while extensive skin removal results in a vertical scar on the inner thigh.
Cost of Arm and Thigh Lift Surgery :
The cost varies based on several factors, including the surgeon’s expertise, the amount of skin and fat removed, the complexity of the procedure, anaesthesia fees, medical tests, and post-surgery garments.

Aftercare:

  •  Wear comfortable and loose clothing.
  • Avoid activities that raise blood pressure during the initial recovery period.
  • Start with light cardiovascular activities after 5-6 weeks.
  •  Avoid heavy lifting, contact sports, and jogging for up to 6 weeks.
  •  Elevate your arms with pillows to reduce swelling.
  • Take prescribed medications as directed.
  • Avoid fluid buildup and scratching the treated area.

Common Questions

Ideal candidates are those with significant weight loss or skin laxity due to ageing or weight loss, who are in good health, non-smokers, and committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery.

Yes, but the extent and visibility of scars depend on the amount of skin removed and the type of procedure. Scars are generally placed strategically to be as inconspicuous as possible.

While a thigh lift can provide some smoothness to the skin, it does not significantly alter the underlying architecture responsible for cellulite.

An arm lift typically takes about 2-3 hours, an inner thigh lift also takes about 2-3 hours, and a complete thigh lift can take 3-4 hours.

Patients are encouraged to walk shortly after surgery and can usually resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure.
