Face lift of the internal part of the thighs or of the arms
With age, lack of sport practice, or consequence of important slimming, the internal arms and thighs suffers from a more or less obvious cutaneous slackening. In the case of light ptôsis, one can be satisfied by a simple liposuction hoping that the skin postoperative retraction will contribute to the results. In the case of important relaxation, a face-lift, with cutaneous resection, is essential. If the skin to be withdrawn is small, the incision can be located in the groin or the armpit. Unfortunately for the arms, only a long vertical incision can solve the problem, but this scar is apparent and sometimes anaesthetic.
Generally, this plastic surgery is aimed at people having lost the capacity of physical recovery of the muscles and the skin. These patients are necessarily informed of a possible hypertrophic cicatrisation.
These face-lifts can be carried out exclusively, under local anaesthesia and without hospitalization, or they can be associated with others interventions. An elastic arm-band application or a panty is them used during one month.
Sport practice is authorized as from the second month after the intervention. Sun exposure is possible three months after as long as the scar is protected.
