With arm lift operations, you can achieve a firm, non-shaky and aesthetic arm structure. In arm lift operations performed on the arm area, where we observe the most rapid deformation due to weight loss, we achieve a much more aesthetic stance by leaving the surgical scar on the inner part of the arm, which we refer to as the blind spot.
Arm lift surgery is a plastic surgery operation performed on the upper arm skin that sags and loosens with age and weight loss. You can strengthen your upper arm muscles in this area with arm stretching exercises without surgery, but unfortunately you cannot remove this existing elasticity, fat accumulation and even excess skin.
Arm lift surgery, also known as arm fit, is also known as brachioplasty in the medical literature. In arm lift surgeries, the upper arm contours are reshaped to provide a more proportionate appearance by reducing excess skin and fat between the armpit and elbow. In more advanced operations, an incision scar remains throughout the upper arm. Thanks to arm lift surgery, the upper arms look younger and tighter, increasing self-confidence and allowing you to wear short-sleeved clothes comfortably.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Arm Lift Surgery?
If your upper arms are sagging due to excessive weight loss, if your upper arm skin is loose, if your upper arms are fatter than your lower arms, if your upper arms are not proportional to your lower arms, and if they do not recover despite arm stretching exercises, you can have arm lift surgery.
How is Arm Lift Surgery Performed?
In arm lift surgery, first of all, the excess fat, skin and subcutaneous tissue on the inside of the problematic arm are removed, and then the arm lift operation is completed to provide the natural and youthful appearance of the arm as before. In arm lift surgeries, liposculpture methods can sometimes be included in the operation as auxiliary methods.
Medications are given for your comfort during the surgical procedure. Your doctor will make the best choice for you and the operation will begin with intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The length and form of the incision to be made inside the arm varies depending on the amount of skin to be removed. Depending on the surgeon’s preference, the incisions are made on the inner or back part of the arm and are made only in the area from the elbow to the underarm part. After the incision, liposuction or different fat transfer methods are applied to remove the fatty part. The arm muscles and fatty tissue are reshaped and the closure phase begins. Arm lift incisions are usually closed with removable or absorbable stitches.
After Arm Lift Surgery
You will have a very comfortable period after arm lift surgery. You will notice swelling and bruising on your arms and a very slight feeling of numbness in these areas, which will disappear in approximately 2 weeks. We recommend that you leave the hospital with information about the procedures you will need to follow after returning home.
Returning to Normal Life After Arm Lift Surgery
Arm lift surgeries are operations from which we receive very good feedback. The healing period of the first wound is observed within 5 to 10 days. 2 weeks after the surgery, the swelling disappears and the incision lines begin to fade. In the meantime, the patient can return to his normal life. After arm lift surgery, heavy physical sports activities should be avoided for about 2 months. You can maintain your rejuvenated appearance with lifelong weight control and arm exercises. In addition, a healthy lifestyle also benefits the longevity of the results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
This determination can only be made by examination. To perform liposuction alone, you must have proficiency in the skin and tissues of the arm. Patients who have undergone dramatic weight loss typically have enough excess skin that an arm lift incision is necessary. Especially if you have sagging problems, liposuction will not be of any use to you.
After surgery, your arms will be bandaged for a few days. Following this, your arms will remain in compression garments, which will need to be worn for 2 weeks. This helps the skin tighten around itself. It also helps support wounds while they heal.
Anyone who has lost excessive weight, has shaky arms, and has problems with the appearance of their skin can have an arm lift.
Most patients report that the pain is very tolerable. The majority of patients report that they are in good shape a few days after surgery.
How much tissue needs to be removed will depend on whether the tissue is near the inner arm or further down the arm, which determines the location of the incision. The traditional vertical incision goes from the armpit to the elbow. If excess tissue is limited to the upper arm, a short sleeve incision with a crescent-shaped incision in the armpit area may be performed.
Initial wound healing takes about two weeks. From then on, your surgeon will give you different recommendations to minimize the appearance of the incision.
