Body liposuction and Body lift: ArmLift , ThighLift, Submental Neck Lift, and Axillary Reduction

Why Comprehensive Body Contouring Treatment Is Necessary?

A slim body with balanced fat distribution, firm skin, and well-defined muscle contours is the key element that creates overall attractiveness. For individuals who are overweight, have accumulated excess fat, or experience sagging skin due to aging, liposuction and skin tightening surgery offer effective solutions to restore a slender, youthful figure.

However, when treatment focuses only on areas such as the face, chest, and waist (abdomen, back), results tend to remain localized. The procedures that must be combined with the above treatments to achieve comprehensive aesthetic results include arm liposuction, arm lift, axillary liposuction, axillary reduction, thigh liposuction, thigh lift, submental liposuction, and submental neck lift.

Submental Liposuction and Submental Neck Lift: Submental Liposuction effectively removes excess fat causing a double chin, creating a more youthful face with a sharper jawline definition. When excess skin is present in the chin area, a Submental Neck Lift must be combined to achieve optimal results.

Arm Liposuction and Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): Arm Liposuction removes excess fat to deliver firm, slender arms with more prominent contours. When loose, sagging skin is present in the upper arm area, an Arm Lift must be combined to achieve optimal results.

Axillary Liposuction and Axillary Reduction: Axillary Liposuction removes fat to create sleeker upper body contours and reduce discomfort when wearing bras. When excess skin is present around the axillary area, Axillary Reduction must be combined to achieve optimal results.

Thigh Liposuction and Thigh Lift: Thigh Liposuction removes fat, reshapes, and reduces the upper thigh area, delivering attractively slim legs while reducing the discomfort of inner thigh friction during movement. When excess skin is present in the inner thigh area, a Thigh Lift must be combined to achieve optimal results.

The Aesthetic Role of Arms, Axilla, and Thighs

Each body part mentioned above has its own aesthetic function as well as unique challenges when excess tissue develops and accumulates in these areas.

Benefits of Essential Liposuction and Skin Tightening Surgeries

Liposuction and skin tightening surgeries (skin lift or body lift) for the arms, axilla, and thighs provide many benefits: 

- Rejuvenate and tighten treated areas – Removes fat and sagging skin, creating more defined muscle contours

- Improved self-confidence – Dress clothes that reveal and emphasize body contours.

- Reduced discomfort and pain– Addresses friction between skin and underwear, tight bras, or hygiene difficulties

- High synergistic effectiveness

Treatment Process

The treatment process for liposuction and skin tightening of the arms, axilla, and thighs follows similar procedures but differs in incision location, patient positioning, and techniques for each area. 

The process consists of two main steps:

Step 1: Liposuction

The liposuction process for arms, axilla, back, and thighs follows the same steps as abdominal liposuction.

Step 2: Skin Tightening | Skin Lift Surgery (If Required)

Preparation:

The patient receives general anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The patient is then positioned appropriately for each type of surgery.

Optimal Incision Selection:

The surgeon marks the incision line based on the amount of skin and fat to be removed, while calculating the optimal position for the most effective scar concealment.

Procedural Steps:

- Create incision along the marked line.

- Excise excess skin and fatty tissue

- Place drainage tubes (case-dependent)

- Carefully close the incision

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Immediate Results: Firmer skin and more defined muscle contours are visible immediately after surgery. However, 1–2 months are needed for complete wound healing and optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery Process:

- First 3 days: Drainage tube removal.

- First week: Swelling and mild bruising gradually subside

- 10 days: Suture removal

- First 2 weeks: Wear compression garments to reduce swelling and prevent fluid accumulation

Important Notes:

- Proper nutrition to supports recovery

- Avoid rapid weight gain to ensure long-term results

- Sleep with head elevated

- Scars will fade over time but will not disappear completely

* The final results also depend on individual's physiology.
