The arm area is one of the areas where the sagging problem is most common. That’s why many people need arm sagging correction. Contrary to popular belief, it is very difficult to remove arm sagging with any exercise program. Such exercises can help tighten and grow the arm muscles, resulting in a tighter appearance in the arm, but they cannot offer effective results to individuals who need a high-level arm tightening. At this point, arm stretching operation comes into play.
Arm lift is an aesthetic intervention medically known as brachioplasty. Within the scope of this intervention, the needs of individuals who need upper arm aesthetics can be met. When it comes to aesthetic arm surgery, both necessary surgical interventions such as loose tissue repair and interventions that will provide aesthetic satisfaction such as muscle structure emphasizing are performed. Thanks to all these interventions, effective results are obtained on important issues such as arm and body harmony. Arm lift surgeries are operations that should be performed with great care by plastic surgeons.
How arm lift surgery will be performed can be determined depending on the wishes and needs of the patient. However, in general, arm lift surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. For example, if post-weight loss has led to the need for arm aesthetics, an incision is made in the upper arm area and excess adipose tissue and sagging skin tissue are removed through this incision. In combined arm recovery procedures, excess skin in the upper arm area is removed, while liposuction, that is, fat removal, can be applied to the lower arm area.
Since arm lift surgery is a very comprehensive operation, this surgery can be considered suitable for many patient profiles. Many people face the problem of sagging skin in the arm area. Although this problem usually occurs as a result of sudden weight loss after gaining too much weight, arm sagging can be seen in obese or morbidly obese individuals, even if the weight is lost in a controlled manner. Individuals with these conditions need arm tightening and arm area rejuvenation. Unfortunately, these needs may not be met by methods such as exercise methods, and the patient’s general health status may be evaluated and it may be possible to benefit from arm lift surgery.
Arm lift candidate criteria are very important criteria in terms of performing arm sagging correction procedures without harming the general health status of the patient. Arm lift candidate criteria can be explained in a few items.
There are some situations in which arm lift is not suitable. The first situation is that the individual’s body mass index is above 30. This indicates that the individual needs weight loss methods, not an aesthetic operation such as arm lift. It would be quite inappropriate to have an arm lift before reaching a healthy weight because there may be a need to correct arm sagging again after weight loss. In addition, the inability of the individual to control his weight and his general health condition are among the situations where arm stretching is not considered appropriate.
Arm lift operations are operations that can be performed using different methods. Arm lift methods differ from each other in terms of their advantages and the patient profiles they address. For example, while the classical arm lift method is generally used for post-weight loss arm aesthetics, the liposuction method is used for individuals who do not have any problems with skin elasticity.
The classical arm lift method is one of the most preferred upper arm aesthetic methods and is very effective. In classical arm lift, incisions are made in the upper arm areas of the individual. Thanks to these incisions, excess adipose tissue and sagging skin are removed. Classical arm lift is an ideal method, especially for individuals who need loose tissue repair, because in some cases, tightening of the arm muscles can also be applied.
Liposuction supports arm lift is a very innovative method. As the name suggests, this method is a version of classical arm lift techniques supported by liposuction, which is a very innovative fat removal method. With liposuction-assisted arm lift, the process of achieving arm and body harmony can be successfully performed.
Arm lift surgeries are operations that offer advantages in many different ways. Many people experience regional lubrication and sagging problems in the arm area. The problem of regional lubrication can be eliminated with a healthy diet and exercise programs, but upper arm aesthetics is usually needed to eliminate the sagging problem. Thanks to innovative arm lift surgeries within the scope of upper arm aesthetics, important surgical interventions such as loose tissue repair are successfully performed and the individual is provided with advantageous results.
One of the main purposes and important advantages of arm lift surgeries is the removal of sagging skin. Sagging skin usually occurs when the skin loses its elasticity as a result of various factors such as weight gain and loss and aging. Unfortunately, it may not be enough to lose weight or apply exercise programs that will work muscles for sagging skin. At this point, the individual should benefit from arm lift surgery, known as brachioplasty, in order to get rid of sagging skin and experience the advantage of having tighter arms.
Another important advantage of arm lift surgery is the improvement of the aesthetic appearance. With arm lift surgery, not only sagging skin is removed, but also the rejuvenation effect of the arm area is achieved. With this effect, the appearance of the individual improves and his self-confidence can increase.
As with all kinds of surgeries, the recovery process after arm lift surgery is also very important. In this process, various factors such as acting in accordance with your doctor’s recommendations and exhibiting behaviors that will positively affect your general health status both accelerate the healing process and increase the effects you will get from the surgery. Important details such as what will happen and what needs to be done during the recovery process after arm lift surgery can be explained under several headings.
The care recommendations that you should take into account in order to manage the recovery process well after arm lift surgery can be discussed in a few items.
The scars that will occur after arm lift surgery are usually on the inside of the upper arm. The main reason for this situation is that plastic surgeons throw surgical incisions that may cause scar formation to the inner arm area, which is an area that is not very visible. In addition, various factors such as using scar care creams after arm lift surgery or starting laser treatments with the recommendation of a doctor can help you completely get rid of the scars that will remain after the surgery.
How long arm lift surgery will take depends on more than one factor. Many different factors, from the surgical methods preferred for arm lift to the general health status of the patient and the level of skin sagging problem, affect the duration of arm lift surgery. However, in general, arm lift surgeries performed with classical surgical methods are completed in approximately 2-3 hours. In liposuction-assisted arm lift surgeries, when the liposuction application process is added, the surgery may take 3-4 hours.
Where the scars will be after arm lift surgery and how long they will remain evident may vary depending on the situation. In most arm lift surgeries, an incision is made on the inside of the upper arm area. Therefore, the scars that may remain after the surgery are in this invisible inner arm area. How long the scars will remain evident depends on the behavior of the individual. The surgical scars of individuals who keep the surgical area away from external factors such as sun rays can become vaguely light within 6-8 months.
The time to start doing sports after arm lift surgery is determined by considering the general health status of the patient. In addition, various factors, such as whether the arm muscles are intervened in arm lift surgery, also affect the time to start doing sports. In general, it can be seen that it is necessary to wait at least 4-5 weeks to start doing sports after arm lift surgery. However, after the early recovery period of the first few days after the surgery is over, it is possible to return to doing minimal physical activities such as light walks.
The diet after arm lift surgery should be adjusted in a way that will help to control weight, support the processed arm muscles and enable the individual to acquire healthy eating habits. Therefore, individuals who benefit from arm aesthetic operations such as arm lift surgery, especially post-weight loss, arm aesthetics, should be fed with a protein-rich, low-carbohydrate and healthy diet program created in line with the recommendations of their doctors and the opinions of their dietitians. It is also very important and necessary for this diet to be sustainable.
Whether there will be sagging again after arm lift surgery depends on the general health status and lifestyle of the person. One of the main reasons for sagging in various areas such as the arm is adopting an unhealthy lifestyle, living sedentary and gaining weight. These factors may also cause patients who have undergone arm lift surgery to experience sagging problems again. In addition, even if the patient pays attention to physical activity and a healthy diet, there may be a minimal sagging situation with the aging of the patient years after arm lift surgeries.
The risk of complications after arm lift surgery may vary depending on the situation. There is a risk of complications in all kinds of surgical operations, including arm lift surgery, even if it is 1%. The main factors that increase or decrease the risk of this complication are the experience of the surgeon, the preference of appropriate methods for the patient, the facilities of the health institution, the general health status of the patient and whether the patient exhibits the right behavior by following the doctor’s recommendations. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of complications after arm lift surgery, it is necessary to choose a plastic surgeon correctly, to act in accordance with the recommendations of the plastic surgeon and to adopt a healthy lifestyle in general.
