Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
Arm lift surgery is usually performed to eliminate sagging skin on the arms that occurs as a result of rapid weight loss and loss of skin elasticity.
With arm lift surgery, the patient gets rid of the sagging arm skin and has a tighter arm structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the results of arm lift surgery permanent?
Arm lift surgery can provide permanent results if the ideal weight is maintained. Gaining and losing a large amount of weight can cause sagging of the skin, although not as much as before.
What will the recovery process be like after arm lift surgery?
If the surgery was performed with local anesthesia, patients can be discharged the same day. In surgeries performed with general anesthesia, it would be appropriate to stay in the hospital for 1 night. It is recommended to wear elastic bands in the first days after the surgery and an arm corset for 6-8 weeks.
Pain may occur for a few days after the surgery, which can be relieved with simple painkillers.
Will there be any scars after arm lift surgery?
Arm lift surgeries leave a linear scar where the excess skin is removed. The scar is planned to be placed on the lower part of the arm, which is invisible when viewed from the front and back, but visible when the patient lifts their arm. These scars will be visible as a thin line after an average of 6-12 months.
How long does arm lift surgery take?
Arm lift surgeries take approximately 1.5-2 hours.
When can I return to my daily life?
After arm lift surgery, patients can return to their daily lives within 5-6 days.
