Arm lift surgery (brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes sagging and looseness that develop over time in the upper arm area, resulting in a tighter and more aesthetic appearance.
Loss of elasticity and skin sagging in the inner part of the arms can occur due to aging, weight fluctuations, or genetic predisposition. With an arm lift surgery, excess skin and fat tissue are removed to reshape the upper arm. The procedure generally lasts 1.5 - 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
In the first few days after surgery, swelling, bruising, and mild pain may be experienced. Bruising usually decreases within 7-10 days, while the swelling can take up to 4-6 weeks to fully subside. Stitches are typically removed after 10-15 days.
During the recovery period, it is recommended to avoid lifting the arms and to use special bandages or compression garments as advised by the doctor to support the arms. The return to daily activities usually occurs within 1 week.
Final results and settling of the new arm contour may take 2-3 months. After the procedure, the arm line appears slimmer, firmer, and more youthful.
“Arm aesthetics is the key to dressing freely and expressing yourself comfortably.”
Arm lift surgery offers a permanent solution for skin sagging that cannot be corrected with exercise or diet. Its effects last for many years as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
