Body Contouring Surgery in Portland: Brachioplasty and Thighplasty for a Smoother, Fitter You
Because loose skin on the arms or thighs can feel frustrating and uncomfortable. Body contouring surgery helps restore smoother, more balanced limb shape.
What Are Brachioplasty and Thighplasty?
Brachioplasty (arm lift) and thighplasty (thigh lift) remove excess skin and fat to create firmer, more sculpted upper and lower limbs.
Who Might Brachioplasty and Thighplasty?
These procedures are ideal if you’ve lost significant weight or struggle with loose skin on the arms or thighs.
Liposuction with Arm and Thigh Lifts Increase Safety
I routinely add liposuction to brachioplasty and thighplasty. This offers three important benefits:
-
Reduces the risk of seroma
-
Lowers the chance of nerve injury
-
Improves the final contour of the arm or leg
In addition, liposuction helps shape the transition zones between treated and untreated areas, creating smoother results.
What About the Scar?
For those with moderate to severe excess skin, the scar may need to extend the length of the inner arm or thigh. I always aim to place scars in discreet areas to minimize visibility in daily life.
What to Expect After Surgery
Your recovery will be closely supported with clear steps to help you heal confidently and comfortably.
Compression
For the first few days, you’ll wear an ACE wrap for gentle compression. After that, you’ll transition to a custom compression sleeve worn for four weeks to reduce swelling and support healing.
Pain Management
Most people use prescription pain medication for the first 5 days. Some mild soreness may last up to 1 month, which is completely normal.
Activity Level
You may begin light exercise like walking just two days after surgery. However, avoid heavy lifting or intense workouts until we clear you.
Scar Care for Beautiful Results
Once your incisions are healed, we’ll begin scar care to improve the final appearance.
I recommend silicone sheeting, like Aroamas, worn for at least 10 hours a day for several months. In addition, gentle scar massage helps soften the tissue and support healthy remodeling.

Body contouring is about more than skin—it’s about how you feel in your body. My goal is to help you feel strong, confident, and comfortable, with results that reflect your hard work and your journey.
