Arm Aesthetics

Arm Aesthetics

Fat accumulation is mostly seen in the upper arm. In genetically-predisposed people, it occurs after weight gain and disturbs the patient. Fat deposits in the upper arm area are generally resistant against weight loss, and even may be permanent after weight loss. Loosening and sagging are also seen in the upper arm area after excess weight loss.

Upper Arm Liposuction / Arm Lifting Surgery

If there is excess fat in the upper arm area and skin tightness is sufficient, liposuction to the upper arm area is helpful. Tumescent liposuction is used mostly, in this process, excess fat deposits can easily be removed by entering from 1-2 small skin incisions. This procedure can be performed under local anaesthesia and sedation. Tapes are taken 3 days after the procedure and it is possible to take a shower on the 4th day. Then it is convenient to use an elastic arm cuff.

If the skin elasticity is not sufficient in the upper arm, brachoplasty (upper arm lifting surgery) is appropriate if there is sagging. In this operation, a vertical linear scar remains in the posterior part of the upper arm. The reason for this scar is the removal of the excess skin. Sometimes it is necessary to combine the lifting surgery with liposuction. The bracoplasty surgery can be completed as 2 sides. This can be done by local anaesthesia and sedation. In the late period, scar reducing creams are used. It is necessary to restrict the use of the arms in the first week after arm lifting. After 1 week, it can gradually be normalized

Scars on Arms

This is the problem of many people. Today, it is not possible to completely disappear these scars; laser, dermabrasion, peeling methods do not provide satisfying results all the time, unfortunately.

It is possible to remove the razor and scalpel marks on the arms by means of a medium operation. However, the scars should be appropriate for the surgery. If there are scattered scars on a very wide area, it may require 2-3 sessions, or it might never be appropriate for this surgery.
