Social media and beauty brands promise that the right cream or serum can “lift” sagging skin and erase years from your appearance. While good skincare can improve texture and hydration, it can’t tighten loose skin or restore youthful contours once the underlying support structures begin to weaken. If you can pinch lax skin under your chin, on your arms, or along your thighs, it’s time to consider something more effective—a surgical lift.
I perform a range of procedures designed to elevate and refine your appearance from head to toe, achieving results that skincare alone cannot match.
Facelift
If you notice jowls softening your jawline, loose skin beneath your chin, or deep folds around the mouth, a facelift offers the most comprehensive solution. No topical treatment can lift sagging tissue or reposition underlying facial muscles—the changes come from below the surface.
I tailor each facelift to your anatomy and goals, whether that means a SMAS facelift, a deep plane facelift, or combining a facelift with other procedures, such as a neck lift. These techniques reposition and tighten deeper layers of facial tissue for a naturally refreshed, not “pulled,” look.
The result is a smoother jawline, lifted cheeks, and a youthful, confident appearance that lasts for years—not months.
Eyelid Lift
The eyes are often the first feature to show signs of aging. Because the skin around the eyes is thinner than anywhere else on the face, it’s especially prone to drooping lids and puffy under-eye bags. While hydrating eye creams can help with dryness or mild puffiness, they can’t remove excess skin or restore the firm contours of your upper and lower lids.
An eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) removes sagging skin and repositions or tightens the delicate fat pads around the eyes. Whether performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, this procedure brightens the eyes and creates a more rested, alert appearance. Many patients say they look like themselves again—just more refreshed.
Arm Lift & Thigh Lift
Even with regular workouts and excellent muscle tone, loose, crepey skin on the upper arms (“bat wings”) or inner thighs can remain. Creams and firming gels promise to tighten and tone, but they can’t tighten stretched skin or address the deeper fibrous structures that cause dimpling and cellulite.
An arm lift (brachioplasty) or thigh lift surgically removes excess skin and recontours the area for a firmer, smoother shape. These procedures are especially beneficial for patients who have lost significant weight and are left with lax, hanging skin that no amount of exercise can fix.
I use careful incision placement and advanced techniques to minimize scarring and create balanced, natural-looking results, so your arms and legs reflect your fitness and confidence.
When You’re Ready for Real Results
If you’ve invested in skincare, gym memberships, and every new “lifting” product with little to show for it, surgical lifts may be the next step toward looking as youthful as you feel. My team at Commonwealth Plastic Surgery in Lexington, KY, provides compassionate, personalized care to help you choose the procedure—or combination of procedures—that will restore your natural contours and confidence.
