Does the preview show what my scar will look like?

No, and we don't try to fake that. Incision location and length reflect your planned surgical approach, but final scar appearance depends on your individual healing, skin type, and up to 12–18 months of maturation. The preview shows the tightened contour under the incision, which is what most patients are actually trying to picture — not a scar simulation that could set the wrong expectation.

My weight isn't fully stable yet — is a preview even useful before my consult?

Yes, run it close to your goal or current stable weight. Most surgeons want six to twelve months of weight stability before finalizing a surgical plan anyway, so the preview works as an early-consult tool to keep the patient engaged while they finish stabilizing, then gets rerun closer to the surgery date.

Can it preview combined procedures, like an arm lift with axillary lipo, or a full post-bariatric body lift?

Yes. Practices doing post-massive-weight-loss body contouring scope the preview to reflect combined planning — arm lift plus liposuction, or a staged body lift covering the thighs, arms, and trunk — so the patient sees the full contouring plan, not one isolated area.

Does it differentiate a medial thigh lift from an extended or vertical thigh lift result?

Yes. The projection reflects the extent of excision you plan — a medial-only lift with a groin-crease incision reads differently from an extended lift with a vertical thigh component. Tell us which technique you're using and the build reflects that scope.

We're seeing a lot of post-GLP-1 patients now — does this work for Ozempic or Wegovy-related skin laxity, not just post-bariatric surgery patients?

Yes, and it's become one of the most common use cases we build for. Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications produces the same skin laxity pattern as bariatric surgery, just on a faster timeline and often in patients who never expected to need a body lift. The preview helps this newer patient population, many of whom have never sat through a plastic surgery consult before, understand why skin excision, not more weight loss, is the fix.

How is this different from showing patients a before-and-after photo book of past patients?

A photo book shows someone else's skin laxity, limb length, and healing. The preview uses the patient's own arm or thigh, so the contour change reflects their actual anatomy instead of asking them to mentally map a stranger's result onto their own body.

Is patient photo data secure and compliant?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your practice needs and make sure it meets HIPAA or any other regulation that applies. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Show patients the contour they'll have before you mark a single incision line

Photograph the arm or thigh during consult, at the same angle you'd use for surgical marking. Makeover generates a photorealistic projection of the tightened contour in seconds — their own arm, their own thigh, not a brachioplasty result from a patient who's built nothing like them.

What is a arm/thigh lift preview preview?

An arm/thigh lift preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a patient's projected post-brachioplasty or thighplasty contour from a single consultation photo. The surgeon or coordinator photographs the arm or thigh, and the tool produces a side-by-side comparison showing the tightened, excess-skin-removed silhouette based on the planned excision — without simulating the incision scar itself, since scar maturation is individualized and unpredictable. Plastic surgery and body contouring practices use this during the consult to help patients, especially post-bariatric and post-GLP-1 weight-loss patients, visualize the contour change before they commit to surgery.

Why it matters

Brachioplasty runs roughly $6,000–$12,000 and a thigh lift $8,000–$15,000 in most U.S. markets, more once it's folded into a post-bariatric body lift package — real money patients don't commit to on a single visit. These are elective procedures with genuine downtime (ten to fourteen days off work, compression garments for six to eight weeks) and a permanent scar, so patients consult with two or three surgeons and sit on the decision for months. The practice that gets the patient to picture their own tightened arm or thigh, not somebody else's before-and-after gallery, closes the consult instead of losing it to comparison shopping.

Who uses this

Plastic surgeons run it chairside during the consult to complement the marker-drawn excision pattern. Patient care coordinators and physician assistants use it during intake, before the surgeon enters the room, to prime the patient for the surgical conversation. Post-bariatric and body-contouring-focused surgical practices use it as a standard step in every consult, alongside pinch-test measurements and weight-stability review.

Heard this from a patient?

They fixate on the scar — "will people see this in a tank top," "will it show below my shorts" — and no amount of verbal reassurance about incision placement moves them past it.

Post-bariatric or post-GLP-1 patients stare at their own hanging skin and can't picture a tightened contour underneath it — the loose skin is all they can see.

They leave with a phone photo of your marker outline, compare it to generic before-and-after galleries of other patients' bodies, decide "that's not my skin type," and the follow-up call never happens.

How arm/thigh lift preview previews work

Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.

Photograph during the consult

Same angle and lighting you'd use for surgical marking — arm raised for brachioplasty, standing for a thigh lift. No separate photo session or special equipment.

AI projects the tightened contour

The model reflects the planned excision — how much skin and tissue is coming off — on the patient's own arm or thigh, without fabricating a scar appearance, since no two patients heal the same way.

Present alongside the surgical plan

Their own limb, side by side, while you walk through incision placement, garment compliance, and recovery timeline. "Let me think about it" happens with a picture in front of them, not a marker line and a mirror.
