An arm lift surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure applied to eliminate sagging and looseness that develop over time in the upper arm area. Especially with aging or after significant weight loss, noticeable stretching can occur in the arm skin. Through arm lift surgery, excess skin and fat are removed, achieving a tighter and more contoured arm line. Addressing this condition, which restricts daily movements and causes aesthetic concerns, provides individuals with both physical comfort and a freer body language.
Arm lift surgery, medically known as brachioplasty, is a surgical aesthetic procedure performed to eliminate sagging, loosening, and excess fat accumulation in the upper arm area over time. Aging, sudden weight loss, frequent weight fluctuations, or genetic factors can lead to a loss of skin elasticity in the arms. This condition not only causes aesthetic discomfort but can also lead to difficulties in clothing choices and a loss of social self-confidence.
With the surgery, sagging skin and excess fat are removed, and if necessary, liposuction is used to create tighter and aesthetically proportionate arms. The result provides a significant improvement in both the physical appearance and the quality of life of the individual.
The skin in the arm area can lose its elasticity over time. The main causes of this are as follows:
These problems can lead to restrictions in clothing choices, discomfort in social environments, loss of self-confidence, and, in some cases, skin irritation due to physical friction. Arm lift surgery eliminates these complaints and provides both aesthetic and functional benefits to the individual.

Arm lift surgery can be performed using different techniques based on the degree of sagging and skin structure:
Applied for mild sagging. A short incision is made, and only the area under the arm is tightened. The recovery process is faster.
Preferred for more advanced sagging that extends from the elbow to the armpit. It provides more dramatic results.
Applied to individuals with excess fat but not serious sagging. Liposuction is used to shape the contour.
Preferred for advanced sagging that extends from the armpit. The scars can be hidden in the armpit area.
Arm lift surgery is particularly suitable for the following groups:
Suitability must be evaluated by an experienced plastic surgeon. A personalized plan should be created based on overall health status, skin structure, and expectations.
The recovery process after surgery generally lasts between 2 and 6 weeks. Key points include:
Incision scars may initially be visible but will fade over time. If necessary, laser treatments, creams, or medical support can be used to reduce scar visibility.
The cost of arm lift surgery is determined on a case-by-case basis and depends on factors such as:
