Hello Gregarious632816
With the arm lift we adjust the skin of the arm, arm pit and the lateral part of the chest. The forearm is a difficult area to treat because there can be important complications with surgery. Also the thighs can be adjusted from the groin down to the knees.
It would be important to evaluate you and decide if there is something we could do for your forearm and lower leg. When it is only extra skin, we can do a conservative procedure on those areas.

Hello Intellectual405086.
I think you are a good candidate for a breast reduction with a vertical scar technique, which includes only a vertical scar and one around the areola. With those scars we can reduce the size and lift.
Feel free to contact me for any information.

Hello thighslipo.
It is always possible to have another breast reduction. There can be more complications in secondary procedures. That is why it is important to have a proper technique done to preserve the blood flow to the nipple and areola and have a great result.

Should I get a facelift or a face massage? (Weird problem)
Face lift

Hello Generous729548
To know what would be better for you, it is important to know your age, and see your skin quality.
Face massage is ok, but when the skin and the support mechanism of the muscle layer is loose, the massage will not help, and we would need to do a face lift.

49kg, 5’1, could I be left with uneven bulges if I have a TT with shorter scar?
Full tummy tuck

Hello @foozball.
Some times, to have the best result, it is necessary to do a more extense scar to be able to take out all the excess skin and have a better contour.
In your case, I think it would be important to adjusts as best as possible all the anterior skin of the abdomen (upper and lower). That implies having a full anterior tummy tuck ( from hip bone to hip bone).
That way it will contour better this area.
And you are right, if we use a smaller scar, there will be skin bulging from…

Arm Liposuction or Arm Lift?

Hello cmengel21.
To address properly the arms, first I would recommend going down to the weight you are expecting.
After losing weight we have to reevaluate the quality of the skin.
But it is probable that we could do only liposuction adding skin tightening technology.
Let me know if you would like more information.
Thanks

Am I a good candidate for a crescent lift with implants?
Breast lift
Aug 3, 2023

Hello Vivid705292.
For an optimal result, we would need to readjust the excess skin in the lower part of the breast. To achieve that we need the inverted T scar. And the implant will add more volume and upper pole fullness.
Doing just the crescent lift won´t deliver the best aesthetic result.
Let me know if you would like more information.
