Arm Lift
Arm lift operation is an operation performed to restore tightness by removing unwanted subcutaneous fat tissue and sagging skin in the arm region.
Loose and sagging arm skin is one of the sources of a person’s unhappiness. This problem is more noticeable especially in the case of sleeveless garments. When both arms are spread, sagging resembling a bat wing appears at the bottom.
Surgery helps to get rid of this condition, which both physically and emotionally disturbs the person.
The arm is reshaped by removing excess skin using incisions made in the armpit or inside the elbow. In the presence of excess fat, this fat is removed by liposuction or directly using the incisions. Aesthetic suture is applied at the incision sites.
Arm lift operation usually takes about 1-3 hours depending on the method to be employed according to the condition of the region.
Any mild aches and pains you might have after the operation will gradually subside and resolve with painkillers to be prescribed by your doctor.
Why does arm skin sag?
Arm region sags due to aging, genetic structure, excessive weight gain and loss, excessive exposure to the sun and the effect of gravity.
The sagging of the back and inside of the arm, which have a more loose skin and subcutaneous tissue, is mostly caused by fat accumulation and skin sagging.
Who can have arm lift operation?
People who have unwanted fat accumulation and sagging skin in the arm area can have this operation.
Things to consifer before surgery
Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol and discontinue blood thinners for at least one week before surgery.
If you develop any infection, you must inform your doctor before surgery.
Recovery Process
If the operation is performed with local anesthesia, you may be discharged on the same day. If the operation is performed under general anesthesia, it’ll be safer to stay overnight at the hospital.
In the first days, elastic bands are used on the arms.
You can have a shower 2 days after surgery.
You can resume daily activities 5-6 days after surgery and sports activities 1-1 and a half months after surgery.
You should wear a special arm brace for about 1 month.
Concealed and aesthetic sutures are applied so they do not have to be removed.

I have been searching for a doctor in London for more than 1 year for arm lift surgery. I didn’t like any of them, both in terms of price and postoperative results. Then I started to search for a clinic and doctor from Turkey. I came across Aegean medical. After a long conversation with my consultant, whose name is Mert, we also had a video conference with the doctor. I was very satisfied with everything, thanks to everyone.
