Arm lift and thigh lift surgery for men

 

What are arm and thigh lift?

Arm and thigh lift are procedures that tighten and lift your inner and upper arms and thighs. If you have excess fat as well as saggy skin then you may benefit from liposuction at the same time. Patients often ask for thigh lift to improve loose saggy arms and thighs after weight loss, either through diet and exercise or gastric band or gastric bypass surgery. We often combine arm and thigh lift with tummy tuck and male breast reduction.


What do arm and thigh lift involve? 

Arm and thigh lift are done with you asleep (general anaesthetic). We mark the excess skin with you in your room before surgery so you get a good idea of the amount we will remove. If we are doing liposuction then this is done first. Then we remove the excess skin and fat (in a suprafascial plane to protect the nerves), resuspend the fascia then close with dissolving stitches and showerproof dressings. Most people go home the following morning after a shower. 


Where are the scars in arm and thigh lift?

The type procedure you need depends on where your excess skin resides. If possible, we remove the excess at the top of your thigh, leaving a scar in the groin crease. The alternative leaves a scar down the inside of your thigh. The arm scar runs from your elbow to armpit (and sometimes onto your chest wall). We will go through this with you when you meet your Consultant Plastic Surgeon in clinic.

Before treatment


First appointment

At Perfecta your care is led by your Consultant Plastic Surgeon – you will see them in clinic, they will do your procedure and see you for follow up. Your first appointment takes around half an hour and includes specialist assessment and discussion of how we can help you improve your arms and thighs. We will go through your options for treatment and discuss what is involved and answer any questions you may have. We will show you photographs of our patients who have had this surgery to show you the type of outcome we can achieve for you.

After your appointment we will send you lots of information about your treatment options and provide you with a fixed cost for your package of care. We will then give you time and space to decide what you would like to do. When you are ready our office team will help you book a date for your procedure.


Second appointment

At your second appointment you will meet your surgeon again and discuss your procedure in more detail. We will go through all the important information about your procedure, including how we do the procedure and the site and nature of the scars. We will discuss your hospital care, anaesthetic and recovery and your aftercare plan. We will also discuss the potential risks and complications of surgery, so you are fully informed.


Pre-assessment appointment

A few weeks before your procedure you will have an appointment with our nurses for a pre-operative medical. Our nurses will tell you everything you need to know for the day of your procedure, such as what time to stop eating and drinking, what time to come in to the hospital, and what to bring with you. If you have any questions about these details or anything else then please ask your nurse or feel free to email or call us.


Do your research

Read up on your treatment options before your appointment. Good sources of information are our website and the BAPRAS website (www.bapras.co.uk) and BAAPS website (www.baaps.co.uk). It can be helpful to read blogs written by people who have had your procedure. But bear in mind they only have experience of their own journey. Your expert Consultant Plastic Surgeon and our experienced nurses have looked after hundreds of patients and have an unrivalled level of knowledge and understanding to help you. Ask us anything you want to know.


Can I get finance? 

The private hospitals we work with offer finance for your procedure. Please ask for further details at your consultation or click here for more information.

On the day of your procedure

 


Things to bring

Bring your phone and charger and a book or magazine. There is always a lot of waiting around in hospital so bring things to keep you amused. There is a TV in your private room and your partner, family member or friend can stay with you the whole time. Bring you dressing gown and slippers and you can stay comfortable in your favourite things whilst you wait.


Will I see my Consultant Plastic Surgeon on the day?

When you arrive at the hospital you will be shown to your private room and your nurse will get you ready for your procedure. At Perfecta your care is led by your Consultant Plastic Surgeon and you will see them again on the day of your procedure to go through some final paperwork, including the hospital consent form, take photographs for your medical records and do your pre-operative markings. Then you are ready to go.


Who will give my anaesthetic?

We only work with experienced Consultant Anaesthetists, all of whom are NHS Consultant Anaesthetists. You will have the opportunity to meet your Consultant Anaesthetist on the day as well. They will complete your pre-operative assessment to make sure you are safe and ready to go ahead. They will talk you through the anaesthetic and your recovery. General anaesthetic (asleep) can make people feel sick and surgery can be painful. However we take great care to make your procedure as smooth as possible and do lots of things to help you wake up without feeling sick or in pain

Your package of care

 


All of your after-care is provided as part of your package of care, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. When you are ready to go home, the nurses will give you an appointment for your first check up a week later. Our nurses will arrange to see you again every week until you are full healed. You will see your Consultant Plastic Surgeon 3 months after surgery. If you have any problems in between appointments then don’t worry, just give us a call, speak to the nurses and come back to see us.


When can I go home?

Arm and thigh lift take around an hour and a half each (or a little longer if you are having liposuction as well), under general anaesthetic (asleep). You can go home the same day or stay overnight, whichever you prefer. Some swelling and bruising are common for the first week or so. We like you to wear lycra rich sport top and leggings as much as possible for the first 3 months after treatment to help your swelling and scars to settle as quickly as possible.


Can I shower after my procedure?

We use showerproof dressings after surgery so you can shower and wash your hair from day one. Just dab the dressings dry with a towel and put on your sportswear.


When can I return to normal activities and work?

You can gently return to all your normal activities straight after your procedure. Most of our clients are back to most things (including work) a week or two after surgery and are back to everything, such as the gym, in a month or so. You can drive as soon as you feel safe and able to do so.


When can I go on holiday?

This is a common question in clinic, particularly leading up to the summer. You could travel the following day if you need to. However it would be sensible to wait a couple of weeks. Most patients settle well and without any problems after surgery. But if you do have any issues then it is nice to be able to pop in and see us.


Sun protection and skin conditioning

Your skin will be more sensitive in the sun for a while after surgery. Look after yourself in the sun, particularly in the first six months after your procedure. Factor 50 suncream and lots of moisturising cream (or Bio-oil) are helpful

What our patients say about Perfecta Cosmetic Surgery


“Earlier this year I had body lift and thigh lift with Chris Dunkin at Nuffield hospital after I lost 16 stone. Ever since I lost the weight I couldn’t wait to get rid of the loose skin. Chris was great. He explained what I could have and I chose to do my tummy and thighs first. He said I would love my tummy afterwards but my legs less. Chris was right I do love my tummy. But my thighs are better than I ever hoped. You cant even see the scar that much. Now I cant wait until next year for my boobs and arms. Thank you soooo much!”
