These include a wide
spectrum of procedures used to tighten the lax and sagging
skin (due to aging or massive weight loss) in various parts
of the body.
They commonly include:-
Thigh lift
Arm lift (brachioplasty)
Butt lift
Tummy tuck
Breast lift
In general , they involve
taking an incision in an inconspicuous location (thigh –
groin crease, arms – inner aspect, butt – junction
of lower back and upper buttock) and excising the excess loose
skin and underlying tissue. The remaining skin is then tightened
and sutured back.
There are several modifications to the above procedures which
you may be advised accordingly.
You may have a detailed
discussion about this during your personal consultation. Some
of the possible complications include – anaesthesia
related complications, hematoma, delayed skin healing, skin
necrosis, altered sensation, asymmetry etc.
