Arm lift surgery offers permanent results for arm sagging from weight loss, aging or genetic factors.
What Is Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat from the inner upper arm to improve arm contour. Especially after significant weight loss or age-related sagging, it can create a firmer and more proportional arm shape. The procedure matters not only aesthetically but also for clothing fit and daily comfort.
Who Is It For?
Suitable candidates include people who have excess skin after weight loss, patients genetically prone to sagging and those with loose skin that does not improve with exercise. Skin elasticity, stable weight and smoking status should always be evaluated.
Where Is the Scar?
The incision is usually planned along the inner arm from the armpit to the elbow. This helps keep the scar less visible in daily life. In more severe sagging, the incision may be longer; in milder cases, it can be shorter.
Recovery
Post-op compression garments help reduce swelling and support the new shape. Arm movement may be limited in the first days. Most patients return to light daily activities quickly, but heavy sports and lifting should wait a few weeks.
Results
With proper patient selection, arm lift can significantly improve arm contour. However, the scar will not disappear completely; it usually fades over time. Setting realistic expectations improves satisfaction.
Cost in Turkey
In Turkey, arm lift cost depends on the scope of surgery and hospital standards. The best approach is to evaluate price, expected scar and recovery time together.
