Arm Lift & Thigh Lift✦ in Pune
(Medial Brachioplasty, Thighplasty & Post-Bariatric Extremity Reshaping)
Medial Brachioplasty & Medial Thighplasty with Deep Colles’ Fascial Suspension
Substantial weight loss (following bariatric surgery, diet, and lifestyle changes) or natural genetic aging frequently leaves patients with loose, hanging skin that no amount of gym training or diet can resolve. Hanging upper arm skin folds ("batwings") and rubbing inner thigh tissue cause persistent skin irritation, painful chafing during walking, and deep clothing dissatisfaction. Dr. Chintan Gujarathi performs advanced medial brachioplasty and thighplasty utilizing lymphatic-sparing techniques. By combining high-definition VASER liposuction with precise anatomical skin resection and anchoring deep tissues to the superficial fascial system and Colles’ fascia, the arms and thighs are restored to sleek, firm, athletic proportions with scars strategically placed in natural shadow lines.
Operated by Dr. Chintan Gujarathi (MCh Plastic Surgery, Tata Memorial Hospital Fellow) at accredited tertiary centers (Ruby Hall Clinic, Sassoon Rd & Manipal Hospital Kharadi), utilizing sub-millimeter precision, concealed micro-incisions, and advanced tissue-handling for natural, permanent outcomes.

Your Healing Journey & Care Guide✦
A straightforward clinical guide to what to expect and how to care for your results.
Early Rest & Compression Garment Wear
Mild to moderate tightness in arms or thighs. Managed effectively with oral analgesics. Walking encouraged from Day 1.
Do not raise your arms straight above shoulder level during the first 10 days to avoid tension on armpit incisions.
First Clinic Follow-Up & Dressing Review
Swelling peaks and begins resolving. Review at Ruby Hall Clinic or Manipal Hospital Kharadi. Incision lines are dry and sealed.
Continue wearing compression garments faithfully; they are your best tool for rapid swelling reduction and skin contour adherence.
Increased Mobility & Light Daily Activity
70% of swelling is resolved. Significant reduction in arm/thigh circumference visible. Comfortable in fitted clothing.
Daily silicone scar massage softens incision lines and speeds up the maturation of collagen fibers.
Full Gym Resumption & Sculpted Contours
Complete tissue healing. Taut, firm arm and inner thigh contours with zero sagging skin or chafing.
Protect all scars from direct sunlight for the first 12 months using SPF 50+ sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Recommended Best Practices (Do's)
- Wear your custom compression garment 24/7 for the first 4 weeks (except while showering).
- Keep your arms slightly elevated on soft pillows while sleeping or sitting.
- Take short, frequent walks around your home to maintain good venous blood circulation.
- Apply medical-grade silicone scar gel twice daily once your incisions have completely sealed.
Precautions & Safeguards (Don'ts)
- Do not lift heavy weights, carry children, or perform overhead reaching for 4 to 6 weeks.
- Do not soak in bathtubs, swimming pools, or jacuzzis until cleared by Dr. Gujarathi.
- Do not smoke or consume nicotine products, as nicotine restricts blood supply to healing skin flaps.
- Do not remove compression garments prematurely, as this can lead to fluid accumulation (seroma).
