Arm Aesthetics

As a result of aging as well as rapid weight gain and loss, the arms sag behind and inside. Arm surgery is where the excess, sagging skin and fat tissue on the arms are removed.

Surgical Methods

Liposuction (laser fat removal) is the preferred method only in cases where there is excess fat, good skin quality, and no sagging. However, liposuction alone is not sufficient in cases where skin sagging is also present. In such cases, arm-stretching is recommended. An arm stretching, an elliptical incision is made on the inner and back parts of the arms and excess skin and fat are removed where sagging occurs.

Recovery Period

The patient can return home approximately 2-3 hours after the procedure. The padding is removed the following day so that the operation site can be checked and a special corset the patient should wear for 2-3 weeks is fitted. The patient is recommended to hold their arms up and can begin playing sports and doing exercises that do not require arm movements after this period.
