Arm Lift
A personalized procedure that addresses skin laxity along the inner arm to deliver a firmer, more balanced arm contour.
What Is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift (brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the loose skin and excess soft tissue along the inner arm, typically following weight loss or aging. The result is a firmer and more shapely arm structure.
Op. Dr. Emre Yılmazer carefully evaluates skin elasticity and the degree of laxity in each patient. The most suitable approach — mini brachioplasty, classic brachioplasty or, when needed, a combined approach with Liposuction — is planned individually.
Who Is It Suitable For?
An arm lift is a personalized procedure. A consultation can be planned in the following situations.
- Those experiencing inner-arm skin laxity following significant weight loss
- Individuals bothered by tissue laxity related to aging
- Patients with contour issues that cannot be resolved through exercise
- Adults in suitable general health who can adapt to the recovery process
- Individuals who have quit smoking or have it under control
- Patients with realistic expectations who are informed about scarring
Important note: Each patient comes with a different anatomy, skin structure and expectation. The procedure to be performed, the technique to be applied and the results are only finalized after a face-to-face medical evaluation.
