Arm Lift - PROMED CLINIC

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is the process of recovering sagging in the upper arm due to weight gain or loss or age. It is applied for a tighter, non-sagging, healthy arm structure. The excess sagging skin tissue is cut off and the remaining skin is brought to a taut state and the procedure is completed.

Excess tissue is determined by examination before the operation. Before the procedure, the person is anesthetized and then the excess fat tissue is removed.

With liposuction, excess fat should be removed, excess skin tissue should be cut off, and then the arm should be stretched.

After overweight people suddenly lose weight, subcutaneous adipose tissue decreases, and if the skin cannot recover, sagging occurs. This loss of elasticity increases with age. The skin, which recovers faster at a young age, cannot recover itself as a result of the aging of the skin in later ages. Since the arm section from the shoulder to the elbow has soft tissues, the probability of the mentioned sagging is very high.

A regular sports life is necessary to prevent sagging on the arm. For this, you should not wait for sagging. The sagging that occurs can be alleviated by intense exercise programs depending on the degree. However, it is not a definitive solution. The only way to fully recover the skin with exercises is arm lift surgery.

The permanent and effective solution of sagging in the arms is arm lift operations. Diets, exercises and creams applied do not eliminate the problem, especially in advanced ages. The loss of elasticity experienced in the skin with age is an irreversible condition. Even if the elastic structure of the skin is increased with collagen supplements, it cannot be completely restored. For this reason, it becomes necessary to remove excess skin tissue and recover the skin.

While it is necessary to stay in the hospital for 1 day in arm lift surgeries performed under general anesthesia, if local anesthesia is applied, the patient is discharged on the day of the operation. At first, swelling and deformities due to the operation may be seen, but this is temporary. You can take a shower 2 days after the operation, it is recommended to rest for 1 week and avoid compelling movements. A period of at least 1 month is needed for a complete recovery. In this process, an arm corset should be worn.
