So much loose skin. Can an arm lift go from the armpit to the wrist and a thigh lift go from the groin area to the ankle?

Skin laxity in your case can be addressed only with skin excision. Although it is not routinely performed, excision from wrist to armpit and/or ankle to groin, is the only way to remove redundant skin. This should be done in stages with enough time to recover between stages. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this type of surgery is recommended. Good luck.

An arm lift (brachioplasty) and thigh lift can indeed address excess skin along the arms and thighs, respectively. However, the extent of the procedure and the incision pattern can vary depending on the amount of loose skin and the specific areas targeted for improvement. Here's a general overview of each procedure:
1. Arm Lift (Brachioplasty): An arm lift typically involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms to achieve a more toned and contoured appearance. The incision pattern for an arm lift commonly extends from the armpit to the elbow or sometimes to the upper part of the arm, depending on the patient's needs and the plastic surgeon's technique. While the incision may not extend all the way to the wrist, it can effectively address loose skin and fat along the upper arms.
2. Thigh Lift: A thigh lift is designed to address sagging skin and tissue on the thighs, resulting in smoother and more defined contours. The incision pattern for a thigh lift can vary based on the specific areas of concern. In some cases, the incision may extend from the groin area to the inner knee or along the inner thigh. While this incision typically does not extend all the way to the ankle, it can effectively address loose skin and tissue along the thighs.
It's important to note that these procedures are highly individualized, and the extent of the surgery will depend on factors such as the patient's anatomy, the amount of excess skin, and the desired outcome. During a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, they will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Additionally, it's essential to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of these procedures, including the potential for scarring and the recovery process. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with detailed information about what to expect before, during, and after surgery, as well as guidance on how to achieve the best possible results.
