Arm Lift Surgery (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift (brachioplasty) is an aesthetic surgical procedure that corrects skin sagging and laxity in the upper arm area caused by weight loss, aging, or genetic factors. This operation aims to give the arm area a firmer, smoother, and more aesthetic appearance. It rebalances body proportion and boosts the patient's self-confidence.

Arm skin loses its elasticity with age and tends to sag. Rapid weight fluctuations also make this sagging more pronounced. During arm lift surgery, excess skin and fat tissue are removed and the underlying tissue is tightened. In some cases, the procedure is combined with Vaser liposuction to achieve smoother results.

The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 1.5–2 hours. The incision is planned to be hidden along the inner arm or in the armpit. Wearing a special bandage and compression sleeve is recommended after surgery. This helps reduce swelling and allows the new shape to settle smoothly.

The healing process is comfortable; most patients return to their social life within 5–7 days. Mild tightness and bruising may occur in the first few days, and this resolves quickly. Incision scars fade over time and blend with the skin tone. The result is a firmer, more aesthetic, and younger-looking arm.

An arm lift improves not only aesthetic appearance but also how the arm contour harmonizes with the rest of the body. When performed with proper planning by an experienced surgeon, the results are natural, permanent, and well-balanced.
