Tightening of the upper arms and thighs

UPPER ARM TIGHTENING (BRACHIOPLASTY)

Brachioplasty is an operation to remove sagging skin. Arms can have loose, sagging skin after losing weight or aging due to loss of skin elasticity. The tone and shaping of the arm muscles is a good basis for the attractive appearance of the arm, but there is no other way to tighten the excess skin at this moment than surgical removal.

OPERATIONAL PROCEDURE

Dr. Božović-Čelebić makes incisions on the inside of the hands, so that the scars are not visible when the hands are next to the body. Although scars are not desirable anywhere, this is the least visible area where they can be positioned. This surgery, like most other surgeries on the body, is a compromise: a scar for improved contouring.

RECOVERY

Recovery time is essential after brachioplasty. Most patients feel a burning sensation in the armpit area. You may also experience some temporary or permanent numbness. The operation usually takes 3 hours and may require the placement of a drain, which is usually removed by the third postoperative day.

THIGHS LIFTING SURGERY

The primary goal of lifting the thighs is to help shape or reshape the thighs so that they are in better proportion to the hips, buttocks and abdomen. The procedure will help the front part of the thighs look smooth, the inner thigh will be firm and straight, and the muscles in the thigh area will be more emphasized, with better definition of the thigh and buttocks.

Thigh lift surgery is additionally useful for someone who has lost a lot of extra kilograms, either through surgery or diet and exercise. When you lose a large amount of weight, there is usually excess skin, especially in the thigh area. This type of aesthetic procedure will typically help these patients.

TYPES OF PROCEDURES

There are several different types of incisions that can be made to lift the thighs:

To remove excess skin from the inner part of the thigh, vertical plastic is performed.

A T-shaped incision can be used to reduce the amount of skin in the horizontal and vertical directions.

External lifting is performed to remove excess skin from the hips to the groin area and is usually performed in combination with a belt tightening or abdominal tightening procedure. Before the doctor does the lifting, she will determine if you are a good candidate for surgery and explain the procedure in detail, including other options that may be available, if you want to remove the extra fat.
