Arm lift surgery is the process of obtaining a more taut skin structure by the recovery of sagging in the arm in cases such as aging, genetic factors or rapid weight gain. Since these sagging in the arm appear in the form of a lack of self-confidence in people because it creates an aesthetically bad appearance, it is a surgical intervention that people frequently apply and has a high success rate.

How is Arm Lift Surgery Performed?

Before arm lift surgery, some necessary tests are done and as a result of these tests, the causes of sagging are determined. Accordingly, the appropriate treatment method is selected, and if needed, the first application is made with liposuction, and then the excess skin that causes sagging on the arm is removed by a surgical operation. The operation is performed with local anesthesia and takes an average of 1.5-2 hours. In some patients, the procedure can also be performed under general anesthesia and a one-day stay in the hospital is required.

What Causes Sagging In The Arms?

The most important reason for sagging in the arms is the signs of aging. With aging, it appears as sagging of the body and primarily in the arm region. Another reason is genetic factors and sagging in the arms can be seen at an early age. In cases of rapid and frequent weight gain and loss, sagging can be seen in the arms.

What is the Post-Arm Lift Process?

Since arm lift surgery is not a difficult operation and is an operation performed under anesthesia, it is a very comfortable operation for the patient and the doctor. If local anesthesia is applied to the patient, the patient starts walking immediately after the operation and is discharged. However, if the patient has had surgery under general anesthesia, he or she is discharged 1 day later. After the surgery, there may be a feeling of pain and pain in the area where the surgery was performed, but these pains can be prevented with the painkillers given by your doctor. Swelling and edema can be seen in the area where the operation was performed, but these swellings will completely disappear within 2-3 weeks. Since 2-3 weeks is a healing process, it is necessary to lift weights and avoid work that requires effort before this process.
