Achieving a toned and youthful appearance in the upper arms and thighs can be challenging, as these areas often resist diet and exercise efforts. At pēkomd® in Columbus, Dr. Peter Koltz offers advanced arm lift and thigh lift surgeries to help patients achieve smoother, firmer contours that enhance their overall figure.
Brachioplasty (Arm Lift) Near Worthington
Dr. Koltz provides expert arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, using two main techniques tailored to each patient’s needs: upper arm lift and mini arm lift.
Upper Arm Lift
In a traditional upper arm lift surgery, Dr. Koltz makes a discreet incision in the armpit and along the underside of the upper arm to the elbow. The incision is designed to minimize visible scarring. Through this incision, excess fat is removed, loose skin is excised, and the remaining tissue is reshaped to create a smoother, more youthful upper arm contour. For patients with significant skin laxity, an extended brachioplasty with a longer incision may be necessary to achieve the best results.
Mini Arm Lift
For patients requiring minimal correction, a mini brachioplasty may be recommended. This procedure involves a small incision within the armpit, through which Dr. Koltz removes excess fat and loose skin, resulting in a tighter and more youthful appearance. The benefit of this approach is that scarring is confined to the armpit, making it virtually invisible.
Thighplasty (Thigh Lift)
Thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, can be performed using various techniques depending on the patient’s specific needs and goals. Dr. Koltz will recommend the most appropriate method to achieve the desired results.
Inner Thighplasty
Inner thighplasty targets excess fat and skin on the inner thighs. Dr. Koltz places an incision at the intersection of the thigh and pubic area, through which a wedge of fat and skin is removed. The remaining tissue is reshaped and smoothed to enhance the inner thigh contours.
Outer Thighplasty
Outer thighplasty addresses sagging tissue on the front and outer areas of the upper legs. Dr. Koltz creates a V-shaped incision at the top of the thigh, which may extend to the buttocks or hips, depending on the extent of correction needed. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is re-draped tightly to improve the outer thigh contour.
Medial Thighplasty
Medial thighplasty focuses on removing excess fat and skin from the top part of the inner thigh. The incision is discreetly placed in the groin area, extending to the buttock crease or hip. In cases requiring more significant correction, a vertical incision down the leg may be added. Through the incision, Dr. Koltz lifts the tissue, removes loose skin and fat, and recontours the thigh.
Mini Thighplasty
For patients with loose skin confined to the upper third of the thighs, a mini thigh lift may be recommended. This less invasive technique involves a small incision in the groin region, offering limited tissue tightening but less downtime and minimal scarring.
