Arm Aesthetics

Loosening of the arms; Sagging occurs in the back and inner parts of the arm due to old age, intermittent weight loss and gravity. It is the recovery (stretching) of the fatty tissue that has accumulated with the sagging. Arm lift surgery (Brachioplasty) can be performed alone or in conjunction with other body contour correction surgeries (tummy tuck, breast reduction or enlargement and thigh lift).

Types of Arm Stretching Surgery

In cases where arm aesthetics is good and there is no sagging, that is, in cases where there is only excessive fat accumulation, successful results are obtained with liposuction (liposuction with laser). However, liposuction alone will be insufficient if there is skin sagging with excess adipose tissue. In such cases, arm lift surgery should be performed. Arm stretching surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia. An elliptical incision is made in the inner and back parts of the arm (in the sagging area), and the sagging skin and excess fat tissue are excised. In the same session, laser liposuction is also applied to other parts of the arm if necessary..

Anesthesia Method Used in Arm Stretching Surgery

It is performed under general anesthesia in the operating room environment. The incision site is sutured from the inside in two layers, at the end of the operation, the arm is wrapped with a soft dressing. You should use the corset recommended by the doctor for 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1-2 hours after the procedure, the patient can go home. The next day, the dressings are opened and the operation area is checked and the patient wears a special arm corset for three weeks. The patient is recommended to keep his arms high and after the third week, sports can be started except arm movements.
