Arm Lift
At ICC Health Tourism, we connect international patients with leading plastic surgeons in Antalya, ensuring a safe, professional, and personalised experience for those seeking body contouring solutions. For individuals struggling with loose, sagging skin on the upper arms, an arm lift (brachioplasty) is an effective procedure that removes excess skin and fat, creating a firmer, more sculpted arm shape.
Why Consider an Arm Lift?
Ageing, weight fluctuations, or genetics can lead to reduced skin elasticity, causing the upper arms to develop loose, hanging skin, often referred to as “bat wings.” Many individuals find that even with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, the skin does not tighten on its own. An arm lift addresses both skin laxity and excess fat, providing a toned, youthful appearance.
Who is a Good Candidate?
An arm lift is suitable for those who:
- Have loose or sagging skin on the upper arms
- Struggle with skin laxity following significant weight loss
- Want a more toned and contoured arm shape
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
How the Procedure Works
Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning
Each patient undergoes a detailed evaluation where the surgeon determines the best surgical approach based on skin condition, fat distribution, and personal goals.
Surgical Process
- The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and takes around two to three hours.
- The incision pattern depends on the degree of skin laxity:
- Mini Arm Lift: A shorter incision made within the armpit, suitable for mild skin sagging.
- Standard Arm Lift: A longer incision along the inner arm, extending from the armpit to the elbow for more extensive correction.
- Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened to create a smooth, firm contour.
- If necessary, liposuction may be added for enhanced definition.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Swelling and bruising typically subside within two to three weeks.
- Patients should wear a compression garment for four to six weeks to support healing.
- Light activities can be resumed within ten days, but heavy lifting and strenuous movements should be avoided for six weeks.
- Final results become more apparent as swelling reduces, typically within three to six months.
What Are the Benefits of an Arm Lift?
- Removes sagging skin, improving arm definition
- Enhances body proportions, creating a more youthful, toned appearance
- Boosts confidence, making it easier to wear fitted or sleeveless clothing
- Provides long-lasting results, provided a stable weight is maintained

Why Combine Abdominoplasty with Liposuction?
A tummy tuck alone focuses on tightening the muscles and removing loose skin, but it does not contour the body or eliminate fat in surrounding areas. By adding liposuction, surgeons can:
- Remove stubborn fat deposits from the abdomen, waist, and flanks
- Create a more defined waistline and improve body proportions
- Achieve long-lasting results by addressing both skin laxity and fat accumulation
- Provide a smoother and more natural look compared to a tummy tuck alone
This combination is particularly beneficial for those who have lost a significant amount of weight, experienced pregnancy-related changes, or simply struggle with stubborn fat in the midsection.
The Surgical Process: What to Expect
1. Consultation and Treatment Planning
Before the procedure, a thorough assessment is conducted to determine the best surgical approach based on the patient’s anatomy and goals. The surgeon evaluates:
- The amount of excess skin and the degree of muscle separation
- The distribution of fat deposits and where liposuction is most beneficial
- Skin elasticity, ensuring a smooth and natural result post-surgery
2. The Surgery
- General anaesthesia is administered for patient comfort.
- Liposuction is performed first, removing stubborn fat from the abdomen, waist, and flanks.
- A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen (hidden within the bikini line).
- Excess skin is removed, and abdominal muscles are tightened to create a firmer appearance.
- The remaining skin is repositioned, and the belly button is reshaped if necessary.
- Incisions are closed, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
3. Recovery and Aftercare
- Patients typically stay in the hospital for one or two nights for monitoring.
- Light movement is encouraged within a few days to promote circulation and prevent complications.
- A compression garment must be worn for six to eight weeks to support the newly contoured abdomen.
- Swelling and bruising subside over time, with final results visible in three to six months.
- Most patients can return to normal activities within two to four weeks, with more strenuous exercises postponed for six weeks.
Who is a Good Candidate for This Procedure?
Abdominoplasty with liposuction is ideal for individuals who:
- Struggle with loose abdominal skin and excess fat that does not respond to exercise
- Have stretched or weakened abdominal muscles due to pregnancy or weight loss
- Are at a healthy, stable weight and seeking body contouring rather than weight loss
- Want a firmer, flatter, and more proportionate midsection
Benefits of Abdominoplasty with Liposuction
- Removes excess skin and fat, achieving a smoother contour
- Tightens abdominal muscles, improving core strength and posture
- Enhances body proportions, creating a more sculpted waistline
- Long-lasting results, provided a stable weight is maintained
