Arm Lift In Turkey

What is Arm Lift?

Arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove and reduce the excess sagging skin of the upper arm, to tighten the supportive tissue, soothe the shape of the upper arm and reduce the fat pockets in the upper arm area.

Sagging of the skin of your upper arms is heredity, due to old age, or is the result of sudden weight changes. Usually, it cannot be corrected through exercise. In those cases, an Arm Lift can provide a solution

How Arm Lift is Performed?

During the consultation the surgeon will determine the type of branchioplasty you will have and mark the incision lines accordingly.

After the consultation and the necessary blood tests, you will go under anesthesia.

Then your surgeon will make the previously marked incisions and start to remove the excess skin and fat. (he may use liposuction to remove excess fat before making the incisions)

When the excess skin and fat has been removed, the incisions are sutured very carefully to give the arm a firm and smooth look, and to prevent scar tissue…

Then dressings and garment are applied and the surgery is over.

The whole process usually lasts 1 to 2 hours.
