Arm and Leg Lifting

WHAT IS ARM AND LEG LIFTING?

Brachioplasty and Cruroplasty, also known as arm and leg lifting, are surgical procedures designed to improve the appearance of the arms and thighs by removing excess skin and fat.

These procedures are ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or have sagging skin on their arms and legs that cannot be corrected by diet and exercise alone.

During the procedure, an incision is made on the inner part of the arm, which can extend from the armpit to the elbow, depending on the degree of sagging and excess skin. Excess tissue is removed and the underlying muscles are tightened to achieve a more toned and aesthetic appearance.

Recovery:

Recovery after cruroplasty and/or brachioplasty usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, it’s advisable to avoid activities that may stress the skin of the thighs or arms, such as lifting heavy objects or performing intense exercises. Wearing a compression garment can help reduce swelling and support the skin in the healing process.

It’s also important to avoid sun exposure in the treated areas and follow post-surgery recommendations to ensure optimal healing.
