Arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a plastic surgery technique. Arm lift surgery is used in the treatment of
sagging that occurs as a result of loss of skin elasticity in the arm area due to excessive weight loss or aging.
This procedure is performed by removing unwanted skin, subcutaneous tissue or tissue seen in the lower part of the arm. For this, with incisions made from the armpit or elbow area, excess skin is removed to give an aesthetic appearance to the arm area.
Those who have sagging and loosening in their arms, Those who keep their physical health under control and do not smoke, Those who have a healthy body mass index (BMI), Those who are ready to spare the necessary time in the recovery process are suitable candidates for this surgery. Apart from these, if there are conditions such as pregnancy, breastfeeding or a chronic health problem, a more rigorous evaluation may be required for the procedure.
The recovery process after arm lift surgery may vary from person to person and may differ depending on the area where
the procedure will be performed and the details of the surgery. However, in general, it is recommended that patients do
not tire their arms in the first days after surgery and keep them in a high position if possible.
Mild pain and swelling are normal for a few days after surgery, but these conditions will disappear quickly. During the
recovery period, patients are advised to avoid heavy physical activities for a period of time, and it may be appropriate
to do small exercises to prevent global edema.
