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.

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?

Light walking can begin immediately, but strenuous arm exercises should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Dr. CBS will provide specific guidelines based on your recovery progress.
