Restoring Arm Contours
Restoring Arm Contours
Many people experience loose, sagging skin in their upper arms.
Upper arm changes are particularly common following major weight loss or with aging. When the skin loses elasticity, exercise alone may not address the resulting sagging appearance. Arm lift surgery offers a solution by removing excess skin and fat, effectively improving the arm's contour.



What is Arm Lift Surgery?
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, from the armpit to the elbow. Performed under general anesthesia, the surgery typically takes 2 hours. The procedure may also include liposuction for additional fat removal and enhanced contouring. In some cases, minimal incision techniques might be possible for patients with less severe sagging.
Treatable Conditions
Significant upper arm skin laxity
Excess fat deposits in the arms
Post-weight loss loose arm skin

Got any question?
How visible will the arm lift scars be?
Arm lift surgery does leave a scar running along the inner arm or back of the arm. While scars are permanent, they typically fade significantly over time and can be concealed in most arm positions.
Will the results of arm lift surgery last?
Results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While aging will continue naturally, the improvement in arm contour is usually permanent.
Can arm lift be combined with other procedures?
Can arm lift be combined with other procedures?
Am I a good candidate for arm lift surgery?
Ideal candidates are at a stable weight, have significant upper arm skin laxity, are non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about results and scarring.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients return to work within 1-2 weeks and can resume normal activities after 4-6 weeks. Complete healing and final results may take several months.
Will arm lift affect my muscle strength or movement?
While initial movement may be limited during recovery, arm lift surgery does not affect muscle strength or range of motion once fully healed.
Can liposuction alone solve my arm concerns?
Liposuction (with additional skin tightening with laser) alone may be sufficient for patients with good skin elasticity and minimal sagging.
How much pain should I expect after surgery?
Most patients experience moderate discomfort for the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Pain typically subsides significantly within a week.
What is the cost of arm lift surgery in Istanbul?
Arm lift prices are generally competitive compared to Western countries. Contact our clinic for a personalized quote.
How soon can I exercise after arm lift surgery?

What Our Patients Say
Discover the experiences of those who have walked through our doors by exploring verified patient reviews from Trustpilot and Google Business.
I was terrified by the idea of having a rhinoplasty for a long time, but the moment I met my doctor, all my fears disappeared and were replaced with trust. He is incredibly professional while also being so warm and understanding. He explained the entire process in detail, answered all my questions patiently, and truly made me feel special. On the day of the surgery, he and his team provided such a calm and reassuring experience. I am beyond happy with both the results and the care I received throughout this journey. If anyone is hesitant about this, I wholeheartedly recommend consulting him. Simply an amazing doctor <3

Selen Şahin
had a breast enlargement procedure on 14th of June and the least that I can say is that I was very impressed by Dr. Cem, his results, how smooth the whole process was and how lovely his team is (especially Idil who was very supportive throughout this life changing process).

Ghita El Mendri
Thanks to the smiling face and interest shown by the entire team from the moment I met them. I had rhinoplasty, browlift and neck liposuction by Dr Cem Berkay.I got into the surgery very peaceful.

Wonderful! He is a very good and caring doctor with a very high level of knowledge, aesthetic perspective and skills. A doctor who can perform such difficult surgeries in such a calm and professional manner means that he is very confident in himself. It's a friendly atmosphere where you can stop by for a coffee from time to time. It's a brand! I suggest you catch it before it becomes even more unattainable. Thank you dear Cem Berkay SINACI🙏🏻

Gülşah Başandaç
Dr. Cem Berkay Sınacı is my plastic surgeon whom I have been going to regularly for a long time. I was already going to him for all my minimal procedures such as mesotherapy, botox,

Nebia Peker
I had a great experience with Dr Cem Berkay Sinaci and his team. He was very attentive to what kind of result I wanted, and also offered his best advice from his experience which I appreciated.

Ieva Svara
I still feel young, like 30 years old, and when I looked in the mirror there was another older woman and I knew deep down that I had to change that. Dr. Cem Berkay SINACI and his team more than fulfilled my wish. Today I look the way I feel, young and attractive again, simply sensational. I can highly recommend him to everyone. Many thanks to the whole team, especially to the nice people in Switzerland who looked after me on site.

Anita Müller
Dr. CBS turned my dreams into reality. I had always aspired to have breast implants and upper blepharoplasty, but I was uncertain after consulting with various doctors. However, upon meeting Dr. Cem, he provided comprehensive explanations both before and after the surgeries and took excellent care of me. As I write this message ten days after the procedures, I am feeling extremely grateful. Thank you, Dr. CBS. ♥️♥️♥️

Xhayala Tortos
I found dr Cem on google search for a minimal invasive face rejuvenation, he looked like famous for thread lifts in my search, but I had a deep plane face&neck lift and brow lift at the end. He was very clear on the video consultation and convinced me for a greater operation. I was a little worried in the first days after the operation because of the bruisings and swellings but he and his team were always with me and made me feel safe. Its ben 2 weeks now, I still have some swellings but this is not surprise, he gives you a clear information of the process. Bruisings are gone. I have a young neck after many years now, my forehead is relaxed finally, dont have to raise eyebrows to see. Many thanks dr Cem. Special thanks to his team Emel and Volkan.

Bryan Dansilver
Its been 4 months since dr Cem did my temporal lift midface lift and buccal fat removal surgeries. He knows what he does, and didnt sell dreams to me. I have the result exactly what he was mimicking on my face before the surgery. Thank you very much doctor CBS !
