Arm Lift

What is Arm Lift surgery?

Arm Lift Surgery, formally known as Brachioplasty, is a procedure that aims to tighten and tone the upper arms by removing the excess skin on the upper arms. Restoring a youthful contour to the upper arms as well.

Why is Arm Lift performed?

Removing Sagging arm skin is the main reason for the Arm Lift Surgery. Sagging skin can be caused by a variety of reasons: older age, a low protein diet, sedentary lifestyle, excessive exposure to sunlight, and sudden weight loss. Although Brachioplasty addresses a relatively small area of the body, the procedure can improve the full appearance. With thinner arms, the entire figure may look noticeably more slender and younger.

 

What are the conditions for Arm Lift surgery?

An Arm Lift is recommended to patients who:

  • Do not have medical conditions that can impair healing or would increase risk of surgery.
  • Can safely go under anesthesia.
  • Have excess skin on their upper arms.

Additionally, an Arm Lift surgery is recommended to patients that have Body Mass Index, BMI, of below 30 as the results of the surgery will change with weight loss or gain.

What are Arm Lift Surgery Types?

There are 3 commonly performed types of Arm Lift Surgery:

Mini Arm Lift:

Involves making a single curved incision located entirely under the armpit and is ideal for patients with mild degrees of skin laxity and excess fat in the upper arms.

Standard Arm Lift:

Entirely removes the excess skin and fat on the arms. The incision is made underside the arm, the scar is not visible when viewed from the front and the back.

Extended Arm Lift:

The incision extends from the elbow to the upper arm along the armpit and along the lateral chest wall. Involves the removal of the excess skin and fat from the upper arm, armpit, and near the chest. Is applied to patients with excessive arm sagging.

What Are The Things To Be Considered Before Arm Lift?

Before Arm Lift surgery, patients should:

  • Be at the hospital a day before their surgery for the pre operative tests to be performed.
  • Stop smoking and consuming alcohol at least 2 weeks before the surgery to alleviate the risk of a blood clot.
  • Avoid medication containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) for two weeks before and after surgery. These medications may increase the risk of internal bleeding. Patients should confirm each medication and supplement they wish to take with their Patient Coordinator.

Also, the patient's body will be examined and measured, and the surgeon might have photographs taken so that the patient can compare the appearance before and after the Arm Lift surgery.

How is the Arm Lift performed?

There are a variety of different techniques used by plastic surgeons. Before the operation, arms are spread and detailed planning and drawings are made. Only excess skin, removal of which will provide adequate tightening and will not distort arm contour is marked.

The appropriate incision is made according to which Arm Lift surgery is being done.

During the procedure, excess skin is removed using a gentle dissection, in order not to damage the vessels and nerves in the arm. Depending on the procedure, excess skin and fat might be removed near the armpits and the chest area as well.

In most cases, drains are placed to remove fluids that may accumulate under the skin. The standard Arm Lift Surgery, on average, takes 2 hours, but can take up to five hours depending on the complexity of the case. At the end of the surgery, bandages are placed to create pressure near the arm area and to control inflammation.

What are The Things To Be Considered After Arm Lift Surgery?

It might take several weeks to months for swelling and bruising to disappear and up to 12 months for the scars to flatten and lighten, but the scars will not fully disappear. The patients are advised to:

  • Wear a special arm brace that will be provided for three weeks to reduce the swelling.
  • Restrict strenuous arm movements and exercises for at least 6 weeks.
  • Protect their skin from the sun and by regularly using sunscreen.

On average, the patient can return to work 10 days after the surgery.

What Are The Risks of Arm Lift?

Risks involved with Arm Lift surgery include, but are not limited to:

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Wound dehiscence
  • Fluid accumulation at the wound site
  • Hematoma, which is bleeding under the skin
  • Risks associated with anesthesia
  • Numbness at the incision site

Another possible risk of Arm Lift surgery is that the patient might not be satisfied with the results. In this situation, a revisional surgery is possible.

From the word go with my coordinator David he helped with everything and anything even the question that must people would think are silly but he took the time to explain everything properly and that made me feel at ease, he helped me get everything booked and I paid my deposit, 4 months later I was on the way Optimed hospital for my gastric sleeve with Dr Ali Tardu, on arrival at the hospital we was welcomed by a very happy to see us translator that got us all booked into the hospital and shown to our room, most test were completed that night and then we got some sleep ready for the next day for the op.. op went amazing and the after care from the nurses and surgeon and staff is amazing, they go above and beyond for you making sure your always ok not in any pain and comfortable at all times.. I can’t thank everyone at Optimed hospital enough, even after returning home I wanted the video from my surgery got back in contact with David Turker and within 48 hours I had the complete file on my phone.. if you want a company that’s really cares about you and your health over profits booking surgery is the place to go, would highly recommend and wouldn’t think twice about using them myself in the future 🥰!! THANKS AGAIN TO DAVID AND EVERYONE AT BOOKING SURGERY 💙

The duty of care has been 100% by the surgeon, care team & the translators, especially Bill who has gone above and beyond to make sure we have had the best stay in yasam. He really is the best and couldn't do enough ensure our stay was positive, and comfortable. Steve & Akin have attended to our needs tirelessly daily, along with all the other care colleagues and given the best care ever. The meals were not always good, but did have several options, although if you're English the combination of variety didn't always go together Protein is a big factor for recovery by the hospital, but the catering team need room for improvement based on protein meal choices. The cleaners cater to you're needs aswell not just to keeping your rooms clean and fresh bedding, they help in any other ways they can. I recommend yasam hospital for surgery and care, the team give 100% in everything they do Thank you floor 2 you've been absolutely amazing . ❤️

Julia Walker reviewed 5***** at Yasam

The interpreters were amazing, couldn’t be more helpful, especially Bill who went above & beyond to accommodate us & our quirky ways. The nurses & care assistants couldn’t be more attentive & patient, and worked tirelessly to give round the clock care, especially Steve & Akin. The surgeon Dr Fatih was thorough in his examination & aftercare, I can’t thank everyone enough, and feel confident about the surgery I have had at Yasam hospital. There is room for improvements with meals, & could be better coordination in line with aftercare meal suggestions for recovery. Though you do get 3 meals a day & there is an area to get a drink or sweet snack. I do feel that everyone involved in our care gave 100% & recommend bookingsurgery.com & Yasam hospital for anyone considering surgery.

Poppi reviewed Breast Augmentation with Booking Surgery

I had a fabulous experience with Booking Surgery for my breast augmentation. From start to finish the whole process was so smooth and easy, and made better by my co ordinator Pierre. He was kind and reassuring, and honestly couldn’t do enough for me. He responded swiftly to my questions and queries, nothing was to much for him and I’m so grateful! My surgeon, Dr Ömer Parıldar, was fantastic, and gave me exactly what I wanted. He was very involved with the process visiting me daily after the operation, which was great to ask any questions and put me at ease that my recovery was going well. The staff at Medistanbul were angels, from the nurses to the cleaners everyone was so friendly and caring in their roles. Some more staff from Booking Surgery is like to mention is David Tucker who came to visit me on the ward and chat, which was lovely to meet someone who’s an advocate for what this company can do to improve someone’s entire life! And also, Nadia, who frequently chatted with me made sure I had everything I need, she is a huge asset to this company and for me, the kind and reassuring smiling face you’d need at a time like this. Thank you so much to booking surgery, if I could give more stars I would☺️

Jade Senior reviewed Thank you so much!

Can’t recommend booking surgery enough! WOW. From first consultation, being picked up at the airport, the hospital and all the staff. I can’t fault one single thing! There is always a professional translator but honestly everyone’s English is so good! The nurses are so so attentive and nothing is too much, smiling from start to the finish of their shift. I felt so looked after at every stage. The surgeon went above and beyond my expectations and I can’t believe my new body, booking surgery has given me a new life. And I’ll be forever grateful So clean and you stay in the hospital your whole stay, regular check ups, monitoring and 24/7 care always! I don’t even have any flaws! An amazing surgery with affordable prices, if you’re hesitating don’t! Just do it! My only regret is not doing it sooner! Thank you so much !

Vanessa Smale reviewed I have had a gastric sleeve

I have had a gastric sleeve. The nurses are always smiling and so friendly. The after care is perfect. You always have an interpreter to hand. I was extremely nervous travelling to another country for surgery, but everything has been great.
