The Innovative Approach of Arm Lift Surgery
Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure focused on a significant area of our body. Especially during the summer months when short sleeves or sleeveless clothing is preferred, the aesthetic appearance of the arms holds great importance.
This cosmetic operation typically targets two common issues: excess fat or thickness in the arms and sagging skin. The skin on the upper inner part of the arms is naturally thin and elastic, so factors like significant weight changes, aging, pregnancy, or genetic predispositions can lead to sagging or fat accumulation. The treatment plan for arm aesthetics varies depending on the individual's specific situation. Some patients may have more prominent sagging skin on the inner and back parts of the arms, while others may have increased fat deposits.
A customized treatment plan is formulated, taking into account factors such as skin quality and fat distribution. This surgical intervention not only corrects the physical appearance but can also boost the patient's confidence. The results are generally long-lasting, and patients may feel more satisfied and comfortable with their aesthetics.
Are You a Candidate for Surgery?
Individuals with sagging skin on the inner and back parts of the arms, those with lost elasticity in their skin, and those with skin deformities are suitable candidates for these surgeries
Surgical Technique
The sagging area on the inner part of the arm is excised elliptically, including skin and fat tissue. The incision is attempted to be hidden on the inner part of the arm towards the body. If there is excessive sagging, then the incision may extend in a T-shape under the armpit. Arms are kept elevated after arm lift surgery to prevent swelling from settling. Drain placement might often be necessary. The application of elastic bandages is standard. Individuals can start doing light activities not requiring heavy lifting two days after surgery. Resting and keeping the arms elevated for the first two days are important for speeding up recovery. The use of elastic bandages or arm corsets is recommended for the first 1.5-3 weeks.
Longevity and Recovery of Surgery
The longevity of surgical results varies from person to person. Factors such as age, lifestyle, dietary habits, and weight changes influence this duration. Generally, the results of arm lift surgery can last for at least 10 years. However, sudden weight fluctuations can lead to arm sagging again post-surgery.
Post-Surgery
A corset is worn for one month. The corset not only prevents excessive swelling but also aids in better tissue healing and achieving a tight form. Incision scars begin to heal after one month and start to fade after one year.
