Arm Lift in Winnipeg, MB

Do you feel self-conscious or uncomfortable about your arms’ appearance? Some people develop loose, excess, saggy skin due to weight fluctuation, the natural effects of gravity and aging, loss of skin elasticity, or genetics while others have healthy firm skin with excess fat in their arms. Regardless of the issues, many people feel uncomfortable wearing short sleeves or tighter tops due to the size of their arms.

Arm Lift surgery also known as brachioplasty surgery is popular for both men and women who want to eliminate excess skin and improve the overall definition, contour, and underlying muscle tone of their arms. If you are tired of hiding your arms due to loose-hanging excess skin and fat, an Arm Lift may be an excellent solution for you.

For those patients with excess fat that is resistant to exercise or weight loss, liposuction alone or liposuction combined with BodyTite to sculpt and slim the upper arms into better proportion with their bodies may be the best option.

An arm lift is performed to:

  • Reduce excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow
  • Reshape your arm to result in smoother skin and contours
  • Results in a more toned and proportionate appearance

Dr Islur performs a special & unique type of arm lift called a Preservation Arm Lift surgery.

A Preservation Arm Lift surgery results in a more defined, contoured upper arm with little to no loose skin or fat remaining between the elbow and armpit. The incision line is strategically placed in hidden areas on the underside or inside of your arm. Your incision lines will fade and smooth out as you heal over time. Combining skin removal with significant liposuction to the entire upper arm and shoulder area this technique allows greatest preservation of lymphatic circulation, blood supply, and sensation to the upper arm versus traditional arm lifts. This leads to the greatest possible outcome in terms of contouring the entire upper arm with the least risk of complications.  Preservation arm lift surgery typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours to complete and is performed under general anesthetic. You will be able to go home shortly after surgery.

Your procedure will take place at Dr. Avi Islur’s state of the art cosmetic surgery centre, The First Glance Aesthetic Clinic & Surgery Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

What is Recovery Like After Arm Lift Surgery?

As with most aesthetic surgeries, you will need to take time to recover. The recovery period will be different for each patient, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s health. Following your surgery, dressings or bandages will be applied to the incisions, and a compression garment will need to be worn to minimize swelling and bruising. You will be able to return to work within 1-2 weeks, taking into consideration not to do any heavy lifting or strenuous exercise involving your arms for the first 8 weeks. This will help to improve the healing and minimize scarring.

Thigh Lift Surgery in Winnipeg, MB

Improving the appearance of your thighs is a major concern for a lot of people. Weight fluctuations or the aging process can take its toll on our skin. After significant weight loss, sometimes we are left with sagging skin in the thigh area, and no matter how much we exercise, we can’t seem to eliminate that excess skin or stubborn fat. Once elasticity in the skin is gone or stretched out, it is impossible to correct without surgery.

If you are interested in tightening the skin on your thighs and improving the contour of your legs, then Thigh Lift surgery may be an excellent solution for you.

Thigh Lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The full operation typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on the extent of surgery.

  • Skin and superficial fat is removed surgically and the skin is tightened.
  • Often combined with liposuction to enhance the surgical results and improve the overall contour
  • An incision is made along the inner aspect of the groin and often along the inner upper part of the thigh.
  • Your thigh lift surgery will be custom tailored to your unique needs, individual results may vary.

Types of Thigh Lifts

You have two different types of Thigh Lifts to choose from depending on the severity and location of the loose skin. Regardless of the type of lift, liposuction is almost always performed to improve the overall outcome.

MODIFIED/SHORT SCAR THIGH LIFT

A Modified Thigh Lift has a shorter incision shaped like a “crescent” in the upper thigh just below the groin crease and does not involve a vertical scar. This type of thigh lift would be more suitable for someone who has mild loose skin or a bulge of skin and fat called a “festoon” that is confined to the inner/upper thigh.

PRESERVATION FULL THIGH LIFT

Preservation Full Thigh Lift is an operation that has a longer vertical incision extending from the upper thigh/groin crease to the knee which is made along the inner aspect of the upper leg. Liposuction is combined with this procedure to preserve and maximize the blood supply, lymphatic circulation, and nerve supply to the upper thigh thereby maximizing results and limiting complications. This operation is suitable for those with moderate to severe skin laxity along the inner aspect of the thigh following significant weight loss or those with excess fat combined with loose skin.

What is Recovery Like After Thigh Lift Surgery?

The recovery period will be different for each patient depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s health.

After Thigh Lift surgery, you will need to take 2 -3 weeks to recover. You can expect to have some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. You will be required to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling in the area. You will be able to return to work in 2-3 weeks depending on your job and healing. Instructions will be provided by our team which will be specific for your occupation or hobbies.

How Much Does Arm Lift and Thigh Lift Surgery Cost?

Arm liposuction starts at $4000 and arm lift surgery price ranges from $7000-10,000 while Thigh Lift Surgery typically  ranges between $8000-12000. The exact cost of your Arm or Thigh Lift surgery depends on the extent of your surgery. Everyone’s surgery is personalized according to their desired aesthetic results and unique surgical requirements.
