Brachioplasty in Turkey
What is Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty takes two to four hours and is done under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
Incisions are made in the back or inside the arm, and excess fat is removed by liposuction or excision. Excess skin is removed and the underlying tissues are reshaped.
Patient Profile
Arm lift surgery is often sought by patients to achieve a slimmer, toned appearance for the upper arm by removing sagging skin and excess fat.
You must be in good health, at a stable weight, and ideally a non-smoker, to be eligible for the arm lift.
Types of Brachioplasty
The technique used will be chosen to meet your individual needs and goals. During your consultation, our doctors work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that is completely tailored to your needs. Our doctors perform almost all arm lifts with liposuction to shape the arm and help protect the sensory nerves.
Full Brachioplasty
Full arm brachioplasty is the classic arm lift surgery. The incision goes from the armpit to the elbow. Remove skin and fat and tighten skin.
Extended Brachioplasty
Usually, the surgery extends beyond the elbow and into the armpit.
Short Scar
Short-scar surgery is for stubborn pockets of fat or excess skin that primarily affect the upper arm. Desired results, shorter scars.
BodyTite
The surgery arm contouring is for patients with only a small amount of excess skin. BodyTite surgery skin without incision. All you need is a small entry point under the armpit and another near the elbow. Great for patients who want minor skin tightening. You can add BodyTite to any other arm lift procedure for extra skin tightening.
Before the Operation
You may be asked for the following items before surgery:
• Get tests for medical evaluation
• Abstain from nicotine
• Abstain from aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements
• Take specific medication or adjust current medication
After the Operation
After arm arthroplasty, the arm is bandaged as the incision heals. Thin tubes may be placed under the skin to drain excess blood or fluid. You are told what medications to use for the treatment and how to care for the treatment area while you recover.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled. Stitches are removed within one to two weeks after the arm lift. The skin in the incision area should always be handled gently without exposing any abrasive movement. Any form of physical exertion should be avoided early in your recovery.
Expect significant swelling within the first 10 to 14 days following arm arthroplasty. The results of the arm lift are visible immediately after surgery. However, you should only expect to see the final results once the external and internal healing is complete and swelling and bruising are completely reduced. The scars left after an arm lift are permanent but fade over time.
Ask your surgeon about the time immediately after arm arthroplasty and during recovery. You may have questions about where you will be placed after the surgery, what medications you will be given, and when to make an appointment for follow-up care.
