Thigh and arm lift surgery in Thailand

The procedure is usually performed in an outpatient surgical center, either operated by your surgeon or a hospital facility, and takes 2-3 hours, but depending on the extent of the procedure, it can take longer. If you are having more than one procedure, overnight hospitalization may be required.

Lift surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, along with intravenous sedation, or general anesthesia depending on your health, the extent of the procedure and whether you are having other procedures at the same time.

For an arm lift, incisions are made on the inner and under surface of the arm, often in a zigzag pattern. The surgical opening may run from the armpit to as low as the elbow. As the excess skin and fat is removed, the remaining skin is stretched and sutured into place and the incisions are bandaged. An arm lift usually takes about two hours. After a monitored time in the recovery room, patients can usually go home the same day.

You will probably have several layers of stitches with both arm lift and thigh/buttock/hip lifts. Some will be re-absorbed by the body and some may need to be removed by your surgeon. You will be able to shower on the third day after surgery. Moderate pain can be anticipated after this procedure. Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication for the first few days, after which acetaminophen and/or ibuprofen may be all that you require.

As with any surgery, it is also sometimes normal to feel anxious or depressed in the days or weeks following the operation. If there is heavy bleeding or increased pain, be sure to inform your surgeon.

After an arm or thigh lift, however, you will begin to see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body almost immediately with additional differences occurring the next 4 to 6 weeks as the swelling subsides.
