Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Surgery

Op. Dr. Arif Eroğlu: Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Surgery

Arm lift surgery, clinically known as brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at restoring shape and form to the upper arm. Due to aging or high amounts of weight loss, this part of the human body develops loose, flaccid skin, which gives it an unfirm appearance. This is where the medical expertise of Op. Dr. Arif Eroğlu comes into play as he offers patients innovative solutions to reshape their arms in line with their wishes and regain confidence in their bodies.

Many people are not satisfied with the appearance of their arms; that's when one wants to wear short sleeve shirts or engage in any type of sport or activity where the upper limbs are exposed. Brachioplasty not only improves aesthetics but can also alleviate discomfort caused by excess skin rubbing against itself. Further understanding of the procedure, its benefits, and the post-operative recovery is important for those thinking about this transformational surgery.

What is Arm Lift Surgery?

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is the surgical removal of extra skin and fat from the upper arms, leaving them more toned and defined. The common surgical method includes making an incision along the inside of the arm, removing extra tissue, and pulling the remaining skin tight to provide a smoother contour. This can greatly enhance the appearance of the arms and, therefore, make individuals more confident and comfortable.

Why Consider Arm Lift Surgery?

There are many reasons why people opt for arm lift surgery, including:

Aging: As one gets older, one's skin loses elasticity, which may cause sagging around the upper arms.

Weight Loss: When someone loses a great amount of weight, the result is usually excess skin that won't be able to retract. Thus, it looks flabby.

Comfort: It makes a person uncomfortable as far as physical activities are concerned because the extra skin promotes chafing and irritation.

An arm lift can be a refreshing feeling with newfound confidence and comfort in one's skin.

Who is a Good Candidate?

The ideal candidates for arm lift surgery are generally:

Those with considerable skin laxity of the upper arms because of either aging or weight loss.

People in good overall health with realistic expectations as far as the surgical outcomes are concerned.

Wanting to keep themselves healthy after the operation, the patients are required to take proper diet regime and also exercise frequently.

However, individual candidature will be finalized post a detailed consultation with Dr. Eroğlu.

The Arm Lift Procedure

The course of an arm lift surgery typically includes the following steps:

Preconsultation: It is the initial consultation wherein Dr. Eroğlu takes a note of what exactly the patient expects from the surgery apart from his/her case history.

Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia since it will keep the patient comfortable.

Incision: In this, incisions are made on the inner arm whose length depends on the amount of extra skin to be taken off. 

Tissue Removal and Tightening: Extra skin and fat tissues are removed then the remaining skin is tightened to provide a smoother contour.

Closure: The incisions will be closed by sutures, and arms will be dressed for recovery.

Recovery and Aftercare

The following may be included in the recovery from arm lift surgery:

Rest: The patients are kept at rest for a couple of days post operation in order to recover.

Medication: The painkillers prescribed by the doctors can be used to soothe the pain and swelling.

Follow-up Care: The patient is supposed to visit Dr. Eroğlu on a regular basis so that the best results can be obtained regarding the healing of the incisions.

Patients should also avoid heavy exercises for weeks and some post-operative care instructions should be followed.

Expected Results

Patients will generally be happy with the newly reshaped arms after surgery. Initial swelling may obscure the results, but as healing progresses over a few weeks, the final outcome will be visible. Most are more satisfied with their appearance and, for the first time, become confident to wear sleeveless clothing.
