The determination of the extent to which the skin’s sagging thickness is considered when determining the patients suitable for arm lift. In some people, sagging may occur due to weight gain. In some cases, liposuction is often performed.

The operation begins with an incision performed to the region, which is often from the armpit to the elbow.

After the recovery of the skin, the operation is completed with the suture process. People undergoing local anesthesia are discharged from the hospital on the same day. People undergoing surgery under general anesthesia are discharged one day after surgery. After being discharged, people should rest at home.

What are risks of Arm Lift?

The risks of arm lift may occur in the same way as all other surgical operations risks. These risks are rarely seen when the operation is performed in a health facility offering hygienic conditions. The incisions during the surgery are not seen easily because they are located behind the arm. Generally, people do not feel pain after surgery. If seen, these pains are mildly severe. These pains can usually be relieved with painkillers, but people should always consult their doctor before using any drugs.

I had surgery 2 weeks ago by Dr Yucel Sarialtin. I have been to almost every doctor in Istanbul, but this doctor is so spontaneous and gives so much attention to his patient, I immediately felt good. I've had a Tummytuck 360 Lipo and BBL! What a great result I couldn't have imagined it better! Dear people please find the right doctor!!! Because I also had the same operation in 2019, but this doctor mutilated me, and Yucel Sarialtin had to correct this again, which of course makes the operation more difficult. I recommend this doctor 100%! & of course his team also lots of kisses to Buse Bayram Aysegul who helped me through this period
