Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift is a cosmetic surgery technique that improves the appearance of your upper arms’ underside.

Excess skin and fat are removed from between the armpit and the elbow during an arm lift, commonly known as Brachioplasty. In order to obtain a more vigorous appearance, more attractive lines are obtained on the arm by removing excess skin and recovering the remaining part. The skin on your upper arms changes as you get older, drooping and loosening. Significant weight reduction might also cause drooping on the undersides of your upper arms. It’s even more noticeable when you’re wearing sleeveless clothing in the summer. Patients who are unhappy with their arms loosening and sagging can benefit from an arm lift.

While exercise can help to strengthen and tone the muscles in the upper arm, it does not address extra skin that has lost its suppleness. If the undersides of your upper arms are sagging, you may want to consider getting an arm lift. An arm raise may also improve your self-esteem.

In such circumstances, if the existing situation is fat accumulation between the shoulder and elbow, as well as a sagging image, the “Vaser Liposuction” technique can provide a remedy. Intervention with “Liposuction” may not be enough in cases with extensive sagging. An incision is made from the elbow to the underarm to remove the sagging skin. If the sagging isn’t too severe, a “Mini Arm Lift” operation is carried out with a small incision under the armpit.

Under general anesthesia, the mini arm lift procedure takes about 1.5-2 hours. A one-night stay in the hospital is required. The traditional arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2.5-3 hours on average. A one-night stay in the hospital is required.

Control and dressing are completed on the fifth day of the operation. There may be numbness, edema, and bruising in the beginning, but these will all go away with time. You can return to social activities in a week, but carrying big loads and doing strenuous sports for a month is inconvenient. For the next four weeks, you must wear a special corset.
