AM I SUITABLE FOR ARM LIFT AESTHETICS?

Arm lift aesthetics is usually a procedure performed on the upper arm. If the fat and skin tissue in your upper arm is disproportionate compared to your lower arm, you are a suitable candidate for arm lift surgery. Arm lift surgery is often performed at the same time as liposuction procedures. This situation, which varies according to the patient's condition, should be decided by the opinion of the specialist doctor.

HOW IS ARM LIFT OPERATION PERFORMED?

Arm lift operation is performed under general anesthesia. The painkillers given afterwards are for the comfort of the patient. During the arm lift operation, a long incision is made from the inner lower part of the arm. Excess fat, inner skin tissue and skin are removed and a thin suture is made. These sutures are made with absorbable medical threads that disappear over time.

The doctor determines how much tissue and skin will be removed during the procedure, according to the sagging condition of the arm. These procedures are performed by a plastic surgeon.

IS THERE ANY TRACE AFTER ARM LIFT APPLICATION?

There may be a very slight scar after the arm stretching operation. However, this trace is hidden in the inner part of the arm, which is not visible when viewed from the front or the back. You can easily choose dresses and short-sleeved clothes. Track visibility decreases over time.

AFTER ARM LIFT OPERATION

Arm lift operation takes an average of 1 hour. You need to rest in the hospital for one day. After 1 week, you can resume your normal social life.

After the arm lift operation, you should take care not to smoke during the recovery process, to avoid arm movements that will damage the stitches in the first process, and to wear your armband consistently. It is recommended that you learn the procedures you need to apply at home after the arm lift operation and leave.
