Loose or excess skin on the arms or thighs can occur following weight loss, ageing, or changes in skin elasticity. In this episode of the Cutting Edge Plastic Surgery (CEPS) Podcast, Specialist Plastic Surgeon Dr Adam Greenbaum discusses thigh lift and arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) and when these procedures may be considered.

These procedures are often performed not only for appearance, but also to improve comfort, mobility, and hygiene where excess skin causes functional concerns.

In this episode we discuss:

• What a thigh lift procedure involves
• What brachioplasty (arm lift) surgery is
• Common reasons patients consider surgery
• Functional benefits such as reduced chafing and improved comfort
• Recovery expectations and general considerations

Thigh lift surgery removes excess skin from the inner or outer thighs to improve comfort and reduce skin-related issues. Brachioplasty addresses loose upper arm skin that can develop following weight loss or ageing, helping reshape the arm and improve function.

These procedures may help with:

• Reduced skin irritation
• Less friction and chafing
• Improved comfort when walking or exercising
• Easier hygiene
• Improved clothing fit and mobility

Serving patients across Auckland, Pukekohe, Waikato and throughout New Zealand.
