The skin on the inner arm loosens and sags due to weight changes, pregnancy or aging. As a result of weight changes, the stretching of the skin sometimes cannot recover and the skin sags. These patients apply especially because of swaying in arm movements and difficulty in choosing clothes.
One of the most important criteria when evaluating the patient before arm lift surgery is the evaluation of the skin quality in the arm area, excess fat and the patient’s expectations. If the fat in the arm areas is not accompanied by skin sagging, only liposuction provides both a sufficient thinning in that area and a sufficient skin recovery. If there is a slight loosening of the skin, I think classical liposuction should not be applied to this area at all. Because after classical liposuction, skin irregularities and pits may occur. If there is significant sagging of the skin in addition to fat in the arm, then liposuction alone will not give a good result. Arm lift surgery must be performed.
Arm lift surgery is the general procedure of removing sagging fat tissue and excess skin on the arm. Arm lift surgery can be performed under general anesthesia. 2 hours for surgery and 1 day for hospitalization is enough.
The elliptical skin and adipose tissue are removed through an incision hidden on the inner-back side extending from the elbow to the armpit. The remaining tissues are stretched and sutured. The biggest problem with this surgery is that a large and prominent scar will remain. These scars will be hidden aesthetically acceptable to the posterior inner side.
There is no pain problem after arm lift surgery, it is sufficient to take painkiller pills. There may be swelling in the arms in the early period, swelling and bruising in the hand, it is temporary. It is important to use a corset after surgery, it should be followed for 4-6 weeks. After five days, you can take a shower and return to social life.
Postoperative suture dehiscence, healing problems in the armpit and contractions (contractures) may be observed, which can be controlled with dressings and scar removal creams. Loss of sensation and asymmetries on the inner side of the arm may be encountered after surgery.
