BODY PROCEDURES
ABOUT THE
THIGH & ARM LIFT
A thigh and arm lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs or upper arms for a more toned and contoured appearance.
By employing techniques such as liposuction and skin excision, this procedure effectively addresses sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits, resulting in improved body proportions and a firmer look.
These procedures address the sagging skin that can occur due to ageing, genetics, or significant weight loss. While they target different areas of the body, both procedures aim to restore a firmer, more youthful appearance.
A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
THE THIGH & ARM LIFT
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
On the day of your surgery, you will check in at the surgical facility, where the admission process for your procedure will begin.
Here’s what you can expect:
ADMISSION
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted, admitted, and undergo a pre-operative assessment by clinic staff and your anaesthetist to ensure you are prepared for your procedure.
PREPARATION
After changing into surgical attire, Dr Frank will do any necessary preoperative skin markings and the nurses will accompany you to the operating theatre, where the anaesthetist will administer anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
ARM LIFT PROCEDURE
The arm lift involves making incisions along the inside or back of the arm. Dr Frank will remove excess skin and tighten the underlying tissue to achieve a more toned appearance.
THIGH LIFT PROCEDURE
The thigh lift procedure includes incisions made in the inner thigh area. Excess skin and fat will be removed, and the remaining skin will be tightened for a smoother contour.
AFTERCARE
Following your procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery ward until you are ready for discharge. An overnight stay at the aftercare facility may be required for professional care. Depending on your needs, an additional overnight stay can be arranged for added comfort.
