THIGH LIFT

A thigh lift is performed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper legs. Candidates typically suffer from loose, inelastic skin after extreme weight loss due to diet, exercise or bariatric surgery. Because of this, the procedure is often combined with others such as breast lifts, facelifts and arm lifts to retain an attractive body proportion.

In a medial thigh lift (inner thigh lift), the surgical incision is made in the inner thigh along the line where the leg meets the groin. In a lateral thigh lift (outer thigh lift), the incision is made from the groin around the back of the body, so that the buttocks are lifted along with the thigh.

ARM LIFT - BRACHIOPLASTY

After substantial weight loss, weight gain or simply from the effects of aging, skin on the upper arms can become inelastic, loose and flabby. Arm lifts, also known as brachioplasty, remove that excess skin and fat. Patients who have significant amounts of fat may want to consider combining the procedure with liposuction.

BUTTOCK LIFT

As we get older, our buttock may begin to droop and sag like other areas of the body.  Fortunately, like these other areas such as the breast and stomach, there are surgical options available for reversing these changes and returning to a tighter and firmer appearance.

A buttock lift can be done by lifting the buttock, sculpting it with liposuction, enlarging it with implants or fat, or any combination of the three.  The type of surgery performed will depend on the new look you desire.  Buttock surgeries take into consideration the size, shape and skin quality of your buttock, as well as the qualities that you desire after surgery.  A lift is most often recommended after a large amount of weight loss, when there may be loose or excess skin.  However, buttock lifts are not very common procedures because they leave a scar across the upper buttock.

The actual procedure is performed as an outpatient surgery and usually takes 2-3 hours.  Lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.  Most patients can return to work after a week to ten days, but full healing will take several months.  The risks of a buttock lift are similar to those of other cosmetic surgeries and may include infection, healing problems or fluid drainage.

SCAR REVISIONS

Scar revision is performed to reduce the appearance of scars caused by injury or previous surgery. Scars are by definition permanent, but surgery can narrow, fade and otherwise reduce the appearance of severe or unattractive scarring, which is especially helpful in areas of cosmetic importance such as the face and hands.

There are many surgical methods of scar revision, only some of which may be appropriate for a particular type of scar or its location. These include surgical excision, skin grafts, flap surgery and Z-plasty (repositioning a scar so that it aligns with the face and is less noticeable). The effectiveness of scar reduction depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the injury, your body's healing mechanism, the size and depth of the wound, how much blood supplies the area and the thickness and color of your skin.
