What is the lifting of the arms and thighs
The lifting of the arms and thighs is a cosmetic surgery that allows you to reshape the lines of the body to improve their harmony. The treatment slims and tones the arms and thighs that could be subject to sagging skin, for example following a strong and drastic weight loss. The lifting of the arms and thighs restores a harmonious silhouette and corrects skin defects caused by:
Pathological obesity
Aging
Drastic weight loss over time
Brachioplasty surgery and thigh lift
Strong weight loss and skin relaxation can cause skin excesses in the arms and thighs, where the tissues lose tension and are sagging. Cosmetic surgery allows you to remove excess fat and skin by remodeling the areas of interest and restoring harmony to the body profile.
As for the arms, the loss of skin elasticity leads to the formation of a skin fold of skin and fat in excess, with which people may not live peacefully and which can be removed with brachioplasty. The axillary cut is the preferred mode of operation as it hides the scar. Often, however, it is necessary to extend it to the elbow, depending on the extent of the defect to be corrected.
Thigh lift scars, on the other hand, are hidden by underwear and skin folds, as they are generally located in the groin region, extending to the inner front of the thigh. Also in this case the dimensions depend on the extent of the fabric to be removed.
Lifting of the arms and thighs: post-operative treatment
After the chioplasty it is important that the patient stop at complete rest for two days, keeping the arms slightly raised. For the first two weeks after the operation, the treated area may appear swollen and may be prone to bruising, but, after 10 days, those who have done the arm lift can return to the office and resume any work activity as long as it is not too tiring. . For physical exercise, however, it is necessary to wait at least 3 weeks.
Following the facelift, patients must rest at home for at least 10 days, while the time to resume physical activity is lengthened up to almost 2 months. Wearing a sheath is the lifting of the fundamental things: after a month, it promotes the reabsorption of swelling and the remodeling of the treated area. In addition, it is also very useful to perform manual lymphatic drainage cycles.
The complete and definitive results will be visible 6 months after the operation: they are long-lasting and highly appreciated by patients, who regain self-esteem and the pleasure of looking in the mirror.
