Arm Lift

The arm area, which is one of the most sensitive parts of our body, requires an aesthetically beautiful appearance, especially in summer. The aesthetically beautiful appearance of your arm depends on its thickness or whether it is excessively oily and sagging or not. Especially if the skin of the upper arm area is very thin, it causes your arms to sag and loose.

Cases such as excessive weight, aging, structural defects, or pregnancy can also cause sagging and fat accumulation in the arm area. This problem, which is experienced in the form of loosening and sagging of the skin on the inner and back parts of the arm (between the armpit and elbow) in some patients, occurs in increased fat the arm in other patients. These problems in the arm area are eliminated by an arm lift. The arm lift is divided into two as surgical and non-surgical.

Arm Lift Surgery

Aesthetic arm lift surgery is called the removal of sagging skin and fat tissue, especially in the inner and lower parts of the upper arm. Arm lift surgery is done under sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia and in a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility. Arm lift surgery takes around 2 hours. After the arm lift surgery, the patient is hosted in the hospital for a maximum of 1 day or discharged on the same day without the need to stay.

In an arm lift surgery, the sagging area is removed together with the skin and fat tissue. It is adjusted so that the incision scars remain in the inner arm area. It is important to keep the arms up for a while after arm lifting because this prevents the edema from falling to the hands. An elastic bandage is applied after the surgery, and a drain is usually placed. After two days, the patient can do non-heavy tasks. Not using and resting the arms during this period allows the treatment process to be overcome quickly. Doctors recommend using an elastic bandage or arm corset for 2-3 weeks after arm lift surgery.

Arm Lift Surgery with Laser Liposuction

It is applied in patients who do not experience sagging skin, have good skin quality, but have excess adipose tissue. Through the process performed in the form of fat extraction with laser, the skin becomes tight, and excess fat is melted and removed from the body. Laser liposuction can be applied alone or in conjunction with arm lift aesthetics because the wrinkles likely to occur after arm lift surgery are prevented by laser liposuction.

Non-Surgical Arm Lift

Non-surgical arm lift procedure is performed by focus ultrasound method. With ultrasound energy, both the skin and subcutaneous fascia tissue are tightened. Although the non-surgical arm lift procedure performed with the focus ultrasound method that penetrates deep tissues is not as effective as arm lift surgery, it is an ideal solution for patients who do not want to undergo surgery or have low skin loosening in the arm area.

The Best Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery

• Arm lift surgery can be applied to patients who have sagging in the inner and back parts of the arm.
• Arm lift surgery is applied to clients who have lost tissue flexibility.
• Arm lift surgery can also be applied to patients who have experienced deformation in the skin.

After Arm Lift Surgery

Edema may occur after arm lifting depending on the width of the application area and the type of the process. Arms are kept up for a while to reduce the edema. The cuts that occur during arm lift surgery are stitched. It takes ten days for the stitches to heal. A corset is used for one month after arm lifting. In addition, to prevent excess edema, the corset also provides better and faster recovery of the tissues and helps to gain a tight appearance on the arm. The incision scars begin to disappear after one month and vanish completely after one year.
