Arm and Leg Aesthetics: Everything You Need to Know
It’s possible to get rid of sagging and disproportionate arms and legs.
Success in Arm and Leg Aesthetics
Rapid and significant changes in your weight can lead to sagging skin and a striated appearance in your arms and legs. In addition to these conditions, you may consider aesthetic operations such as arm-thigh lifting, fat injection, liposuction, or calf prosthesis to address problems in your arms and legs resulting from genetic asymmetry or various disorders.
How is Leg Aesthetics Done?
Legs are evaluated in two sections: thighs from the knee up and calves from the knee down. Problems in the upper part of the legs are usually sagging and stretch marks due to excessive weight or sudden weight changes. Lower problems are more related to hereditary conditions such as deformity or thinness. The treatment to be applied may vary according to complaints and the area. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment after a detailed evaluation following the examination.
The most commonly performed treatments in the upper part are lipolysis and liposuction. These treatments generally include the hip and waist areas as well. If there is sagging present, thigh lifting operations may also be considered. It is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations for the pre- and post-leg aesthetic process.
How is Arm Aesthetics Done?
Sudden weight changes cause the skin to lose its elasticity, sag, and develop stretch marks. These skin and fat masses also have an unpleasant appearance. If your skin has not yet lost its elasticity, lipolysis and liposuction treatments are highly effective in slimming the arms. If sagging and stretch marks are present, an arm lifting operation will be beneficial. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia, during which the tissue causing the sagging appearance on the inside of your arm is removed. This way, you will achieve thinner arms, and with approximately 5 days of recovery, you can return to your daily life with underarm aesthetics.
Is Fat Removal Possible from the Arms?
Excess fat in the arm area is perhaps one of the most complained about issues. Arm fat can occur due to reasons such as diet, lifestyle, and excessive weight gain. Those who undergo arm aesthetics are generally individuals with such complaints. Aesthetic surgery can be chosen to address this issue of excess fat in the arms.
Arm fat removal uses vacuum technique, where the fats are broken down and removed from the area. Although general anesthesia is more commonly preferred, the surgery can also be performed under local anesthesia. In arm fat removal surgery, unwanted fats in the arm area are suctioned out using a vacuum or special syringes. After the desired level of fat removal is achieved before the operation, the skin in the area is tightened again.
How is Thigh Lifting Done?
Thigh lifting surgery is performed to address sagging above the knee. The operation is carried out under general anaesthesia. Sagging and stretch mark tissues are removed through an incision made in the groin area. For more effective results, it is recommended to combine the procedure with liposuction. You can return to your daily activities 10 days after the surgery.
What is Crooked Leg Aesthetics?
In some individuals, we may observe curvature in the legs due to various reasons. This curvature, known as bow legs, can lead to complaints.
For individuals presenting with bow leg complaints, two different techniques can be suggested. In individuals with sufficient fat in the abdomen or waist area, liposuction can be performed in these areas, and the extracted fat can be injected into the affected area to correct the curvature. If there is not enough fat available, correction can be achieved through filler injections. If fillers are to be used, the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. However, if fat injection is to be performed, general anesthesia is preferred.
To address the issue of gaps in the legs due to excessive thinness, filler application can be used. This improves the appearance of the legs. This procedure takes approximately 1 hour and is performed under local anaesthesia.
