I wonder if you can advise me, I am looking for a surgeon who may perform a pit lift?! So i have heard it called in the usa- I have an unsightly excess of skIn there and wondered if it is possible to have it removed, any ideas or suggestions would be welcome please. - Hi I read your comments – very interesting.

It is lymphedema! Disruption of the lymph node system in the underarm region can cause PERMANENT SWELLING, often disfiguring and defeating of the whole purpose in having an armlift! This is a complication of this particular procedure and the inner thigh lift as well due to the location of the lymph nodes in the body and the unfamiliarity of the surgeon with how to reduce the volume of tissue, fat and skin in these areas without disrupting the lymph node system using a particular surgical technique. This technique has been mastered by many Brazilian surgeons and I have undergone the procedures (arms and thigh lifts) myself with NO such complications. The lymph nodes help to channel fluids and toxins out of the body... if they are severed or cut or disrupted in some way... they don't regenerate and so the fluid now has nowhere to go... Please inform yourself on this procedure as well! Blessings, Christi There is another possible complication and it is a heartbreaking one if it is experienced. It is lymphedema!
