Body surgery

Slackening of the tissue – caused by significant fluctuations in weight, genetic predisposition or due to aging – can result in surplus skin and tissue. Excess skin on the upper arms, thighs and abdomen can be particularly unwanted. These regions can be firmed and tightened using a targeted procedure. The most commonly requested procedure is an abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck”. This may be desired, for example, by women who have had multiple pregnancies or who have been pregnant with twins. The skin has been stretched so often and so much that it does not return to its original state. Skin tightening procedures can also be helpful following liposuction.

A body lift may be indicated when the individual has excessively loose tissue in various areas of the body at the same time, i.e. on the abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs. This is frequently the case following significant weight loss.

Upper arm / thigh lift

The aim of an arm lift or a thigh lift is to remove excess skin and fatty tissue, thus firming the skin. If the individual has been losing weight, these procedures should only be considered once a stable weight has been reached.
