Arms & Legs
Oberarm- und Oberschenkelstraffung für eine schlanke und attraktive Körperkontur.
At MEDICTERREAN, we offer effective methods for firming arms and legs to specifically treat sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits. Tissue can become loose, especially after significant weight loss or with age, causing arms and legs to appear undefined. Using state-of-the-art techniques such as liposuction, BodyTite, or laser treatment, we tighten the skin and reshape contours for a smooth, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The procedures are individually planned, gentle, and tailored to the natural body shape. After the treatment, compression garments and targeted aftercare support optimal results.
Arm lift & extended arm lift
An arm lift is a proven procedure for tightening sagging upper arms and can be performed on an outpatient basis under intravenous sedation. In some cases, a short overnight stay in the clinic may be necessary. During the procedure, excess skin is removed to smooth the upper arms and create a defined contour. The scar usually runs vertically along the inside of the arm and can be extended into the armpit if desired. For optimal results, an elastic arm bandage is worn for 3 to 6 weeks after the procedure. An arm lift can be combined with liposculpture of the upper arms, if desired, to further remove excess fat and improve arm contours. The combination of skin tightening and liposuction ensures a harmonious, aesthetically pleasing result and a significantly improved sense of well-being.

Arm lift + liposuction
The treatment is often combined with liposuction. First, stubborn fat deposits are removed through small incisions, then excess skin is precisely removed and the remaining skin is tightened. The result is slimmer, firmer arms and a significantly improved arm contour. The scars are usually located on the inside of the upper arms and can be extended into the armpit if necessary. Wearing a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure is recommended. Additionally, lymphatic drainage can support healing and contribute to a smooth, aesthetically pleasing result.
An arm lift can not only improve the proportions of the arms, but also boost self-confidence, as clothes fit better and the silhouette appears more harmonious.

Thigh lift
A thigh lift helps remove sagging tissue on the inner thighs and significantly improve leg contours. Especially after significant weight loss or as part of the natural aging process, exercise is often no longer sufficient to tighten the skin. The procedure begins with the removal of excess fat via liposuction. This protects the lymphatic system and blood vessels and ensures smooth transitions between the treated areas. Excess skin is then removed and the tissue is tightened.
The incision pattern depends on the amount of excess skin:
Horizontal tightening: Ideal for minimal excess skin; the scar runs above the knee and is inconspicuous when wearing skirts or shorts.
Vertical tightening: In cases of significant excess skin, a longitudinal scar ensures a defined silhouette and harmonious contours.
After the operation, compression garments are worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing. Light exercise is possible early on, but strenuous activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. The result is firm, defined thighs, smooth skin, and harmonious overall proportions. A thigh lift not only improves physical appearance but also boosts self-confidence and clothing fit.

Thigh lift (inner side)
An inner thigh lift involves the targeted removal of excess skin on the inner thighs and the tightening of the tissue. The incision is made along the groin to the beginning of the gluteal crease, ensuring that the scar remains inconspicuous or is concealed by a bikini or swim trunks. During the procedure, the sagging skin above the muscle is carefully dissected and lifted. The surgeon takes meticulous care to remove precisely the right amount of skin to achieve a harmonious and lasting result. For added stability, the deeper skin layer is sutured to the periosteum of the pubic bone, while the upper skin layers are closed using a special technique. This creates a smooth, defined thigh contour, and the scar is barely visible. An inner thigh lift not only removes excess skin and fat deposits but also improves leg proportions, harmonizes the silhouette, and boosts self-confidence.

Consultation
Before the procedure, you will have a detailed consultation with our experienced specialists. During this consultation, the surgical procedure, the appearance of potential scars, all risks, and aftercare will be explained in detail. Following this, the areas to be treated will be measured and the surgical field marked. For procedures performed in Turkey, the consultation can also take place on the day of the surgery. It is, of course, free of charge and serves to answer any questions you may have and build trust.
Preparation and procedure
Before the procedure, our doctor will conduct a thorough medical examination. This includes blood tests, an ECG, and a general health assessment to ensure you are fit for surgery. The procedure typically takes two to four hours and is performed under general anesthesia. You should plan for an overnight stay at the clinic; the total duration of your stay in Turkey is usually six nights.
After the operation
After the operation, you will wear a compression garment or compression pants for approximately six to eight weeks to stabilize the result. During this time, strenuous physical activity should be avoided. Direct sun exposure and visits to tanning salons should also be avoided for two to three months to promote optimal scar healing. The final result depends on your overall health, skin type, age, and weight. At MEDICTERREAN, we place great emphasis on a natural, harmonious result that enhances your well-being and self-confidence.
