Sleek Contours. Functional Comfort.
Arm and thigh lifts at Freyea are designed for those who have achieved significant weight loss or are experiencing the inevitable skin changes of ageing. These procedures target the 'hanging' skin that often hinders mobility and choice of clothing. By meticulously removing the non-elastic skin and tightening the underlying supportive tissues, we recreate a firm, proportional appearance that reflects your health and vitality.

The Pursuit of Tensional Balance
Contouring the limbs is about more than just skin removal; it's about tension. We focus on the exact vector needed to lift the skin without over-tightening, ensuring your limbs move naturally and comfortably while achieving the sharpest possible silhouette.
Is a Limb Lift Right for You?
The best candidates are those at a stable weight who find that skin laxity is the primary factor hindering their comfort or confidence.
- You have significant loose skin on your upper arms or inner thighs
- You are at or near a stable, healthy goal weight
- You have realistic expectations about the surgical scars
- You are in good general health and a non-smoker
- You have reached a point where exercise alone cannot resolve the laxity
The Freyea Signature
We utilise advanced longitudinal and crescent-shaped incision techniques designed to hide scars in the natural folds of the armpit or groin wherever possible. Our signature difference is the use of internal suspension sutures that take the tension off the skin closure, resulting in finer, flatter scars and a more durable lifting effect.
The Restoration Roadmap
Every procedure is a bespoke design. We map out the transition zones—where fat is feathered into the surrounding tissues—to ensure no 'step-offs' or indentations occur.
Topographic Mapping
Identifying the precise zones of excess skin and fat while in a standing position.
Targeted Liposuction
Using micro-cannulas to refine the fat volume before skin excision for the smoothest contour.
Structural Excision
Precisely removing the mapped skin and tightening the deep fascia for lasting internal support.
Multilayer Closure
Meticulous internal suturing to ensure a smooth, low-tension final result and minimal scarring.
Bra-Line & Extended Arm Lifts
We tailor the incision length based on the extent of skin laxity, ranging from mini-arm lifts hidden in the armpit to extended procedures that address laxity reaching the lateral chest wall.
Inner vs. Outer Thigh Contouring
Inner thigh lifts are highly effective for friction-related discomfort, while outer thigh refinement is often addressed through a lateral lift, potentially combined with a body lift or tummy tuck.
Procedure Details
Timelines and techniques vary depending on the extent of skin removal and Whether multiple areas are treated simultaneously.

Restoration Timeline
Week 1
Compression garments are essential. Moderate swelling and a feeling of 'heavy' tightness are normal.
Week 2-3
Most sutures are maturing. Light walking is encouraged to support circulation, though heavy lifting is avoided.
Month 1-2
Most swelling resolves. The new contours become clearly visible and scars begin their long maturation phase.
6 Months
Final contours are reached. Results are stable and scars continue to fade over the next 12 months.
