Arm lift surgery is a plastic surgery operation performed to remove unwanted subcutaneous fat tissue and sagging skin. This operation is performed to correct sagging in the arm area and restore skin tightness.
Why is Brachioplasty Performed?
Loose and sagging arm skin is a condition that individuals experience physical and emotional discomfort. Especially in sleeveless clothing, the sagging that occurs when the arms are lifted to the sides becomes one of the sources of unhappiness for individuals. Brachioplasty surgery provides both physical and emotional relief by eliminating this aesthetic problem.
Why Does Arm Skin Sag?
Sagging arm skin is often associated with factors such as aging, genetic factors, excessive weight gain and loss, excessive sun exposure, and the effects of gravity. The combination of these factors creates sagging skin and fat accumulation on the back and inner part of the arm.
How Is Arm Lift Performed?
In arm lift surgery, excess skin is removed with incisions made in the armpit or inside the elbow, and the arm is shaped. If there is excess fat, it is removed with liposuction or direct incisions. The incisions are closed with aesthetic stitches, thus achieving an aesthetic appearance with minimal scars after the operation.
Arm Lift Surgery Duration and Pain
Arm lift surgery is an operation that usually takes 1-3 hours, depending on the condition of the area. Pain and tingling felt after the operation will gradually disappear with the painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
Type of Anesthesia
Arm lift surgeries are usually performed in hospital conditions, with the patient receiving general anesthesia or sedation and local anesthesia. In this way, the patient undergoes the operation painlessly and comfortably.
Arm lift surgery is an effective solution to correct sagging arm skin with an aesthetic touch and give the patient a more fit, youthful and relaxing appearance. When a detailed consultation is performed before the operation, under the management of a specialist surgeon and with the appropriate technique, it can increase the patient's satisfaction and help them regain their self-confidence.
