Arm Lift Surgery

Losing a lot of weight quickly can lead to excess skin that can be unattractive and distressing for the individual. Skin sagging usually occurs in the upper extremities due to extensive loss of muscle and fat that cannot be corrected by liposuction alone. In these situations, it may be possible to turn to an arm lift, which involves localized reductions in adipose and subcutaneous tissue and can restore the patient’s skin tone and youthful appearance.

 The best Arm Lift in Istanbul is performed perfectly at Lerra Clinic to improve the patient’s quality of life and help them regain a positive sense of themselves.

Also known as a brachioplasty arm lift, it removes excess subcutaneous fat from the arms for a cosmetic appearance. An arm lift is mostly used to make the arms look slimmer and more sculpted. This is done by removing excess skin that may hang down, a problem often called “bat wings,” and removing extra fat with liposuction.

Brachioplasty is a surgical procedure that combines different plastic and aesthetic surgery techniques, such as

•       Removal of excess skin
•       Liposculpture
•       Liposuction of localized fat accumulations
•       Lipofilling of empty areas, i.e., the autologous reimplantation of adipose tissue taken from other areas of the patient’s body

Brachioplasty surgery reshapes arm aesthetics by removing excess skin and fat, replacing “bat wings” with a more proportionate shape.

 An arm lift in Turkey is suitable for men and women who experience excess skin and fat on the inside of their arms. Significant weight loss or aging may be the cause of this problem.   

With brachioplasty, you will get significant results as you wish:

• Reshape your arms by eliminating excess skin and fat.
•   Improve the appearance of arms that have been damaged by significant weight changes or the natural aging process.
• Restore your arm’s tone and youthful appearance.

Before brachioplasty surgery, the patient must be at least 18 years of age, in good overall health, not a smoker or willing to quit, and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery. It is important to remember that brachioplasty is not a weight loss method, but a way to improve the appearance of the arms after weight changes or aging have caused excess skin.

 All patients whose body weight is stable, normal-sized, and in good physical condition, but who have fat deposits located in the arms, perhaps accompanied by excess skin.

Usually, this condition coincides with the effects of a slimming diet, which has corrected a situation of severe obesity.

Physical Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

1.     Reduction of Sagging Skin and Tissue Tightening:
   The decrease of drooping skin and tightening and smoothing of the supporting tissues under the arm are two of the main physical advantages of an arm lift. A decrease of skin elasticity in the upper arm area over time, brought on by factors like aging, loss of weight, or heredity, can result in extra skin that sags and gives the appearance of “bat wings.” By eliminating the extra skin and tightening the underlying tissues, Brachioplasty solves this problem and gives the arm a tighter, more toned appearance. Your arms’ functionality can be enhanced by this physical change, enabling you to move more freely and comfortably.
2. Improved Comfort after Weight Loss or Weight Loss Surgery:
   Weight loss is a major accomplishment, whether it comes through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery. However, there is a lot of excess skin in many areas of the body, such as the armpits. This extra skin can be irritating and can chafe the skin. For those who have lost weight, an arm lift is an excellent choice because it not only looks better but also greatly increases comfort. It takes care of the physical discomfort and skin-related problems caused by extra arm skin so that patients may fully take advantage of their weight loss journey.

Beyond the physical advantages, an arm lift offers significant aesthetic benefits:

1. Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance:

A more contoured and youthful appearance of the arms is the awaited result of an arm lift. An arm contour that is sculpted and visually pleasing is a result of the removal of extra skin and tightening of supporting tissues. This improvement can increase self-confidence and motivate people to feel more at ease wearing swimsuits, sleeveless attire, and other outfits that show the arms.

2. Psychological Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery

   1. Traditional Brachioplasty
Traditional brachioplasty or arm lift entails removing extra skin from the area under the upper arm. The arm will have a long scar from the underarm to the elbow following a typical brachioplasty. To get rid of any extra fat, liposuction will also be done if necessary.People who want to get rid of a lot of extra skin may consider this operation. The long, noticeable scar that runs down the upper arm because of this treatment is a drawback. However, if you decide to use this surgery, your surgeon can give you advice on how to reduce the visibility of the scar over time.

Arm lift surgery is a common solution for patients with sagging arms in Turkey since it is quick and produces reliable results. After identifying the cause of the patient’s drooping arms, the arm lift operation is started after taking the patient’s medical history into account. Each patient requires a treatment strategy that is tailored to his or her condition, thus the equipment and techniques utilized in the arm lift process are chosen based on the prior data. Depending on the patient’s health, an arm lift might last anywhere from one to three hours.

• The surgeon should be aware of any current medical treatments, including corticosteroids, oral contraceptives, antihypertensives, cardioactive agents, anticoagulants to drop into the body, laxatives, antibiotics, sedatives, sleeping pills, blood pressure stimulants, and others.
• Quit taking any acetylsalicylic acid-containing drugs.
• One month before surgery, patients are advised to stop using oral contraceptives.
• Stop smoking at least one week before surgery.
•  Immediately report any new colds, sore throats, coughs, and skin disorders.
• Avoid eating after midnight, but up to six hours before the procedure, you can drink clear liquids like water or tea.
• Wash your hands and toes thoroughly, take off all nail paint, quit body creams and oils, and shave your underarms.
• Plan for a companion to stay with you during the recovery period.

1. Day 1 of the immediate postoperative period
   Even though the arm can still hurt on the first postoperative day, the patient will be urged to get out of bed and move around.
2. The Initial Weeks Following Surgery
   The patient must wear an anatomical compression girdle for three weeks following surgery.
3. Upon Release from the Hospital
   The patient will leave the hospital with a compressive dressing that will be taken off after about a week, and they must be taken home with him.
   Following discharge, the patient must adhere to the surgeon’s recommended pain-relieving and anti-edema antibiotic therapy.
