An arm or thigh lift in Boston, Massachusetts, by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dax Guenther will remove this excess skin and fat, tightening these areas for a firmer, more toned look. Patients from throughout the South Shore choose Dr. Guenther for their procedures.

Dr. Dax takes care to minimize scars resulting from arm lift surgery (also called brachioplasty), and he tailors the scar based on the amount and location of excess skin. When preparing for this procedure, he takes the time to educate his patients individually about the nature of brachioplasty scars and communicate clearly about the anticipated scar location. Scarring will generally be limited to a location inside the armpit, along the inner side of the arm or, in some cases, along the inner side of the arm and extending onto the chest wall.
Thigh lifts performed by Dr. Dax will vary in nature with each patient. He performs medial thigh lifts for inner-thigh problem areas, resulting in scars either tucked into the groin creases or along the inner thighs. For excess skin and fat on the outer sides of the thighs, he will likely perform a lateral lift, often combined with abdominal contouring procedures. Some patients may be good candidates for CoolSculpting® treatments for the inner and outer thighs.
Both procedures generally involve skin excision. Dr. Dax regularly combines brachioplasty and/or thigh lift surgery with additional body-contouring procedures such as liposuction.
