Arm & Leg Lift

Why is Arm and Leg Lift Aesthetics Performed?

Arm and leg lift surgery is preferred by people who have self-confidence problems due to loose skin. This problem is especially noticeable in clothes such as sleeveless and short skirts. When the arms are lifted to the sides, a bat wing-like sagging occurs at the bottom. Thanks to aesthetic surgery, it is possible to get rid of this physically and mentally disturbing problem.

Why does the skin on the body sag?

Sagging of the body, especially in areas such as arms and legs, occurs as a result of aging, genetic structure, excessive weight gain, sun exposure and gravity. The weakening of the back and inner parts of the hand, where the skin and subcutaneous tissue are looser, is often caused by fat accumulation and weakening of the skin. This problem, which causes self-confidence problems, can be eliminated with arm and leg lift surgeries.

What Should Be Considered Before Arm Lift Aesthetics?

Before the operation, the arms are opened from both sides and detailed plans and drawings are made. The skin that is not excessive is marked only to give enough tension and not to distort the shape of the hand.

The surgical technique to be applied is determined according to the rate of skin loosening and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat tissue. If the skin is loose due to weight and loss, the thickness of the skin may be too high. Then, a method called liposuction is applied first.

There are many factors to be considered before and after arm lift surgery. The patient should not smoke and drink alcoholic beverages at least 1 week before the operation and should also avoid using blood thinners.

How is Arm and Leg Lift Surgery Performed?

The arm is shaped by removing excess skin through incisions made under the armpit or inside the elbow. If there is too much fat, it is removed by liposuction or direct incisions. Aesthetic stitches are placed at the incision sites.

Arm lift surgery is an operation that usually takes 1-3 hours depending on the condition of the area.

This surgery is not painful. However, it is normal to feel a slight pain after the operation. Thanks to the painkillers given to the patients by the doctor, these pains will disappear over time.

Who Prefer Arm Lift Surgery?

The loss of the tight appearance of the arms over time is a common condition that can be encountered especially with advancing age. Sagging, which is a problem that both women and men can experience, can occur in the arms as well as in the legs. Such situations can affect people’s clothing styles and indirectly their whole lives.

Anyone who has self-confidence problems due to sagging in the arm or leg area and is not satisfied with this appearance can have arm and leg aesthetics.

What is the Recovery Process After Arm Lift Surgery?

A special leg corset should be worn for at least three weeks after surgery. Strenuous hand movements should be avoided for a few weeks. Otherwise, the stitches may be damaged. It is recommended not to smoke for a healthier and faster healing process.

If the operation is performed under local anaesthesia, the patient can be discharged on the same day. In surgical operations performed under general anaesthesia, it is a safer option to stay in the hospital for 1 night.

After 1-2 months, you can start exercises to make the procedure more permanent. In addition, it is possible to return to your daily life with a 1-week period after arm lift aesthetics.
