Arm and leg lift aesthetics are surgical procedures applied to correct sagging and loose skin appearance, especially after weight loss. Thanks to these operations, arms and legs gain a firmer, smoother and more aesthetic appearance. Arm and leg lift surgeries increase self-confidence by clarifying the body contours of the person. Before the operation, the patient's skin structure and expectations are evaluated in detail, so that the most appropriate treatment plan is created. These procedures performed by an experienced surgeon offer permanent and natural results. It is very important to follow the doctor's recommendations during the healing process to achieve a healthy and successful result.
Arm lift surgery, known as “brachioplasty,” is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate sagging in the upper arm area. Over time, due to aging, genetic factors, or sudden weight loss, the skin on the arms may become loose and saggy. This condition can lead not only to aesthetic concerns but also to a loss of self-confidence, physical discomfort, and difficulties in clothing choices. Arm lift surgery is performed to address these issues and provide the patient with a fitter, younger, and firmer appearance. During the operation, excess skin is removed, and if necessary, fat tissue is also extracted using liposuction, reshaping the remaining skin to improve the arm contour.
The skin in the arm area can lose its elasticity over time. The main causes include aging, genetic predisposition to sagging, cycles of weight gain and loss, and sudden weight loss following obesity treatment. These factors can lead to a loose and sagging appearance under the arms, often referred to as “bat wings.”
This condition can negatively affect a person’s body image, reducing confidence in social situations. Additionally, excess skin can cause irritation, chafing, and hygiene issues due to friction. Arm lift surgery eliminates these complaints, providing a healthier, more comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Arm lift surgery can be performed using several different techniques. The choice of method depends on the patient’s skin condition, fat percentage, and the severity of sagging.
Applied in cases of less sagging. Excess skin is removed through a short incision in the underarm area. The scar is smaller, and the recovery process is faster.
Preferred in cases of significant sagging that extends from the elbow to the armpit. This technique requires a longer incision but achieves a more dramatic result.
Can be performed in cases where there is excess fat but not excessive skin sagging. This creates a slimmer and more contoured arm line.
Used for advanced sagging that starts from the armpit and extends laterally, affecting the upper arm. The scar can be hidden in the armpit.
Arm lift surgery is generally suitable for individuals who experience noticeable sagging and looseness in their arms. This is particularly common in those who have undergone bariatric surgery and lost significant weight in a short period.
Individuals with reduced skin elasticity, aesthetic deformities in the arms, and those who cannot correct these issues through exercise can achieve their desired appearance through arm lift surgery. However, suitability for the surgery depends not only on appearance but also on overall health status, smoking habits, bleeding tendencies, and the ability to adhere to the recovery process. A doctor’s evaluation is crucial in this regard.
Precautions taken before arm lift surgery are crucial for both the success of the operation and the smooth recovery process. As the surgery date approaches, patients need to prepare both physically and psychologically for the procedure. To prevent potential complications during and after the surgery, all instructions given by the doctor must be followed closely. Additionally, some lifestyle changes may be necessary to maximize the benefits of the surgery.
Key considerations before surgery include:
The costs of arm lift surgery can vary based on the individual’s needs and the method to be used. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that influence pricing rather than providing a fixed fee. These factors typically depend on both the complexity of the operation and the chosen healthcare facility.
Key factors affecting prices include:
Considering these factors, arm lift surgery is planned on an individual basis, so price information can be provided most accurately after an examination. Additionally, when considering the long-term results of the surgery and its positive contribution to quality of life, evaluating the cost after the examination is more appropriate.
