Arm, Thigh & Buttock Lift Surgery

Surgical body lifts arranged by myMedical Prague remove the loose, hanging skin of the upper arms, inner thighs or buttocks that remains after major weight loss or develops with age — laxity that liposuction or skin-tightening devices cannot correct. Brachioplasty (arm lift, from €3,785) eliminates 'bat wing' skin; thigh lift (from €4,185) restores firm inner-thigh contour and ends skin chafing; buttock lift (from €3,860) raises and reshapes a descended buttock fold. Each is performed by board-certified surgeons under general anaesthesia with hospitalisation included.

After bariatric surgery or major weight loss, deflated skin folds are a structural problem — the dermis is permanently overstretched and only surgical excision restores contour. These three lifts are the core excisional body-contouring procedures, frequently chosen by post-weight-loss patients travelling to Prague for accessible pricing on surgery that is often quoted at double or more in the UK and Germany. **Upper arm lift — brachioplasty (from €3,785):** Removes the hanging skin and fat of the inner upper arm through an incision along the inner arm from armpit toward elbow (length matched to the laxity). The result is a firm, defined arm in sleeves and sleeveless wear; the scar is positioned on the least visible inner line and matures over 12 months. Surgery ~2 hours. **Thigh lift (from €4,185):** Excess inner-thigh skin causes chafing, rashes and clothing discomfort beyond the aesthetic concern. The medial thigh lift removes skin through an incision in the groin crease (limited laxity) or extending vertically along the inner thigh (significant post-weight-loss laxity), lifting and firming the thigh. Surgery 2–3 hours, often combined with liposuction for contour. **Buttock lift (from €3,860):** Excises an ellipse of skin above the buttocks (scar hidden in the waistline/bikini line), lifting the descended buttock tissue and smoothing the upper buttock and lower back junction. Frequently part of post-weight-loss lower-body restoration; for volume enhancement rather than lifting, the BBL or buttock implants are the alternatives (listed separately). **Recovery (all three):** 1–2 nights of hospitalisation included; compression garments for 6 weeks; avoidance of stretching the incision line (arm elevation limits, wide leg movements, prolonged sitting respectively) for 3–4 weeks; desk work at ~2 weeks, sport from 6–8 weeks. Typical Prague stay 7–10 days, ending with a pre-departure check. **Candidacy note:** These procedures trade a scar for contour — the surgeon's free photo assessment is candid about scar placement and length so expectations are right before booking travel. Stable weight for 6+ months is the key prerequisite.
