An arm lift, or brachioplasty, addresses the excess tissue that can appear in the upper arm area. Careful excision of the excess skin and fat of the arm can improve the patient's ability to fit into clothing, as well as improve general comfort in this area. Although an arm lift can leave a visible scar on the inside of the upper arm, patients find that this is well concealed and often worth the reduction of excess tissue. In selected patients, the modified arm lift confines the scar to only the armpit and usually is combined with liposuction. To see arm lift animated, click here.

A thigh lift is a well-tolerated procedure that can help improve the contour of the medial portion of the upper leg. Often combined with liposuction, this procedure can help refine the leg to a more shapely, youthful appearance. Scarring from the thigh lift is well concealed in the area of the groin, and special attention to surgical technique allows for minimization of a widened or problematic scar.
