Arm Lift

Plastic arm lifting operations done to eliminate the sagging of the arms due to different reasons such as excessive weight gain or weight loss and age. Excessive adipose tissue in the arms and excess skins are removed, making the arms look healthier and more aesthetic. There are different approaches such as surgical operation, liposuction and Smooth Shape depending on the patient’s body characteristics, arm sagging and fat ratio.

Planning considering the body / skin structure and expectations of the patient is the most important phase. If applied together with operations such as breast or abdomen, planning is done more comprehensively. The surgery performed under general anesthesia consists of three stages

• Liposuction (Fat removal)
• Removal of excess skin and tightening of the subcutaneous tissue
• Tightening and re-stitching of the skin

The operation lasts around 2 to 4 hours. It is recommended that the patient stays in the hospital for one night.

Liposuction method is applied in cases where there is less amount of fat in the arm area and when skin sagging is not excessive. The recovery process is faster because there is no surgical operation. It is expected that the skin will compress itself after liposuction because only the adipose tissue is removed. If there is no problem with skin elasticity, the skin will recover. It is more efficient in younger patients. Arm and body exercises play a very important role after liposuction.

Smooth Shape Arm Tightening process is applied with laser for those who want to have a tighter arm in a very short time. Laser dissolves the fat on the arm. Dissolved fat is naturally excreted from the body. It is the method for when there is less lipidosis and sagging on the arm. After a few sessions, the effects are clearly observed. Thanks to the effective method on cellulite, both a tight arm and a soft skin are achieved.

You can return to work within 6 to 7 days after the operation. You should pay attention to movements that strain your arms.
