At DrBeauty, we specialize in precision body contouring surgeries that restore tight, youthful lines, especially after weight loss or age-related skin laxity. Therefore, we tailor our arm and thigh lift surgery procedures to remove sagging tissue and redefine your body, delivering long-lasting and natural results.
What is Arm & Thigh Lift Surgery?
An arm lift (brachioplasty) and thigh lift (thighplasty) surgery are surgical procedures that remove excess skin and fat, which often result from significant weight loss or age-related loss of skin elasticity. The main goal is to tighten and reshape the upper arms and inner thighs while removing sagging or “batwing” skin on the arms, reducing thigh chafing, and correcting the droopy appearance of the inner or outer thighs. As a result, patients often experience improved clothing fit and greater body confidence. Depending on your needs, we can perform these procedures individually or combine them for a more balanced overall result.

How the Procedure Works?
Consultation & Surgical Planning
We assess the degree of excess tissue, skin elasticity, and fat distribution. The best incision pattern is determined based on your anatomy and desired results.
Anesthesia & Incision Placement
General anesthesia is used.
Arm Lift: Incisions are typically made along the inner upper arm, from the armpit to the elbow.
Thigh Lift: Incisions may run along the groin crease, down the inner thigh, or around the outer thigh, depending on the case.
Skin Removal & Contouring
Excess skin and fat are surgically removed.
Underlying tissue is tightened and repositioned.
Liposuction may be used for added contour precision.
Closing & Compression
Incisions are sutured carefully for minimal scarring. A compression garment is applied to reduce swelling and support healing
Recovery Timeline
- Days 1–5: Swelling, soreness, tightness; rest with limited arm/leg movement
- Week 1–2: Stitches removed (if non-dissolvable); bruising starts to fade
- Week 3–4: Light activities resume; compression garment continues
- 6–8 Weeks: Full return to daily routine; scars begin to mature
- 3–6 Months: Final contour visible; ongoing scar fading

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I have visible scars after arm & thigh lift surgery?
We strategically place scars so they fade significantly over time. Specifically, we hide arm scars along the inner arm, while thigh scars follow the natural creases for a more discreet appearance.
Is liposuction always part of the procedure?
We don’t always perform this procedure alone, but we often combine it with a lift to achieve smoother contouring and better definition.
How long should I stay in Turkey after the procedure?
Plan for a 7–10 day stay for your consultation, surgery, and follow-ups. We take care of all medical travel arrangements.
Will the results last?
Yes! Results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Can I combine Arm and Thigh Lift surgery with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many patients combine these lifts with a Tummy Tuck or Mommy Makeover for full-body transformation.
