Loose and sagging arm skin is one of the sources of unhappiness. This problem is especially noticeable in sleeveless garments. When the arms are raised to both sides, a bat-wing-like droop appears at the bottom. Thanks to plastic surgery, it is possible to get rid of this uncomfortable situation both physically and emotionally.
With the effect of aging, genetic structure, excessive weight gain, exposure to the sun and gravity, sagging occurs in the arm area.
The sagging of the back and inner parts of the arm, which has looser skin and subcutaneous tissue, is mostly caused by fat accumulation and skin sagging.
The arm is shaped by removing excess skin with incisions made from the armpit or inside the elbow. If there is excess fat, it is removed by liposuction or directly by incisions. Aesthetic sutures are applied at the incision sites.
Arm lift surgery can be performed on people with unwanted fat accumulation in the arm area and sagging skin.
Smoking and alcohol should not be used for at least one week before the operation, and blood thinners should be interrupted. If you develop any infectious condition, you must inform your doctor before the operation
Post-surgery considerations:
A special arm corset should be worn for at least three weeks. Compelling arm movements should be restricted for several weeks. Otherwise, some damage to the seams may occur. Smoking should not be used for a healthy and fast recovery process.
If the surgery was performed with local anesthesia, you can be discharged on the same day. It is safer to stay in the hospital for 1 night in operations where general anesthesia is applied.
In the first days, elastic bands are used on the arms. You can take a shower 2 days after the surgery. After 5-6 days, you can return to daily activities. You can start doing sports after 1-1.5 months. A special arm corset is used for approximately 1 month. Since hidden and aesthetic sutures are applied, they do not need to be removed.
