Brachioplasty & thighplasty

Loose skin, firmer contours.

Arm lift (brachioplasty) and thigh lift (thighplasty) remove loose skin and reshape the upper arms and thighs after weight loss, aging, genetics or reduced skin elasticity. Where stubborn fat is also present, liposuction can be combined for a more complete contour.

Arm Lift in Turkey (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes loose skin and reshapes the upper arms. Many patients develop sagging arm skin after weight loss, aging, genetics or reduced skin elasticity — often described as "bat wings" — which can be difficult to improve with exercise alone.

At Esteworld, arm lift surgery is planned individually. If your main concern is loose or hanging skin, an arm lift may suit you; if the issue is mainly stubborn fat with good skin quality, arm liposuction may be recommended; in some cases an arm lift with liposuction provides a more complete contour.

Thigh lift

Thigh Lift in Turkey (Thighplasty)

A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, removes loose skin, tightens the thigh area and improves the shape of the legs. Sagging thigh skin after major weight loss or aging can cause discomfort, rubbing and irritation, and difficulty wearing fitted clothing.

A thigh lift suits loose or hanging skin around the inner or outer thighs; where the main concern is fat with good skin quality, thigh liposuction may be recommended instead, and the two can be combined for a more complete lower-body contour.

Your journey

Your Arm / Thigh Lift Journey with Esteworld

01

Consultation & Assessment

The team reviews your skin laxity, fat distribution and goals to decide whether a lift, liposuction or a combined procedure is most suitable.

02

Personalized Treatment Plan

Mild laxity may suit a mini lift; more significant sagging may call for a full brachioplasty or thighplasty. Liposuction is added where stubborn fat is present.

03

Travel Planning to Istanbul

Once confirmed, your surgery schedule, accommodation and transfers are organized.

04

Pre-Operative Checks

You meet your surgeon in Istanbul and complete routine medical tests to confirm suitability.

05

Lift Surgery

Excess skin is removed and the area reshaped. If liposuction is included, stubborn fat is reduced before the skin is tightened.

06

Recovery & Aftercare

You receive garment instructions, recovery guidance and follow-up checks before returning home, with continued support afterward.

Options

Arm & Thigh Lift Options

The right approach depends on the amount of loose skin, fat and your skin elasticity.

Full Arm Lift

For moderate to significant loose skin from armpit to elbow — common after major weight loss.

Mini Arm Lift

For mild loose skin near the armpit, with a shorter incision; suitable for selected patients.

Inner / Outer Thigh Lift

Inner thigh lift addresses sagging and rubbing between the legs; outer thigh lift improves the side profile and lower-body contour.

Lift with Liposuction

Combines fat removal with skin tightening when both excess fat and loose skin are present, for a smoother, more balanced contour.

Recovery

Arm / Thigh Lift Recovery Timeline

First Few Days

Swelling, tightness and mild discomfort are normal. Rest, avoid lifting and keep movements gentle.

First Week

Movement becomes easier, but stretching, heavy lifting and intense activity should be avoided. Compression garments support healing.

2–4 Weeks

Most patients return to light daily routines. Swelling reduces and the area feels more comfortable.

6 Weeks

Many patients gradually return to normal activity with surgeon approval. Exercise resumes only when confirmed safe.

3–6 Months

The contour becomes more refined as swelling settles. Scars continue to fade and soften.

6–12 Months

Final results develop over several months. A stable weight helps preserve your outcome long term.

Questions

Arm / Thigh Lift FAQs

What is an arm lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, removes loose upper-arm skin and reshapes the arms.

Can exercise remove loose arm or thigh skin?

Exercise can strengthen muscles but cannot remove excess skin. If loose skin is significant, lift surgery may be needed.

What is the difference between a lift and liposuction?

Liposuction removes fat; a lift removes excess skin. Some patients need both procedures combined.

Does a lift leave scars?

Yes. Scars are placed discreetly (e.g. along the inner arm or inner thigh/groin crease) and fade gradually over time.

What is an inner thigh lift?

It focuses on loose skin along the inner thighs and can help reduce rubbing between the legs.

Can I have a lift with liposuction?

Yes, if suitable. Combining the two improves both fat reduction and skin tightening.

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to light activities within 2–4 weeks, but final healing and scar fading can take several months.

Is it more affordable in Turkey?

In many cases, yes, compared with private surgery in the U.S. — but safety, surgeon experience and aftercare should always come first.

Can I start with an online consultation?

Yes. You can begin with a free online consultation before traveling to Turkey.
