What is a Brachioplasty?
This procedure is a cosmetic operation to elevate the appearance of the arms by removing the saggy section on the patient’s underarm area. If the patient is a suitable candidate, the procedure offers excellent results.
During an arm lift operation, the saggy section is removed by opening incision lines starting from the armpit to the elbow. Once the surgeon eliminates the excess skin and fat tissue, the patient achieves more structured upper arms.
Methods of Application for Arm Lifts
- Liposuction for Arm Lifts: The procedure is suitable for patients with fat build-up on their underarms, yet there should be no saggy skin under the arms. As a result, patients have no operation scars.
- Operations with small incision lines: Candidates should have only a little sagginess under their arms with his method. There will be incision lines; however, they will be comparatively shorter.
- Extended arm lift operations: These procedures are usually for candidates with excess skin after a weight loss when the sagginess is excessive. A long incision between the armpit and elbow is made to remove saggy skin and fat tissue to fix this issue.

Brachioplasty Results and Recovery Period
Following the operation, patients will see that their arms are covered, and if necessary, their surgeon can put drains to drain excess fluids on the incision area. To help through this recovery period, patients are advised to bring a close one. For the first weeks, discomfort, swelling and bruises on the area are expected.
The surgeon will take out the drains and covers after a few days of recovery.
Instructions for recovery period:
- Patients should not lift their arms above their shoulder level for the next three to four weeks after the operation
- Avoid any movements that can harm the incision lines for the next four to eight weeks following the procedure
- Use the medication prescribed by the surgeon
- Walking is suggested after the surgery
- Avoid physical activities or sports for at least six weeks
- Wait for at least a month to ride bikes or motorcycles
- During the first two weeks after the operation, patients should elevate their arms with pillows or cushions while sleeping.
- Wait for the surgeon’s instruction for showering.
The stitches on the patient’s incisions can disappear with time if the surgeon uses dissolvable stitches. However, if the situation is otherwise, your operator will determine the time to remove the stitches. In addition, patients can ask our aftercare team any questions regarding the surgery.

Arm Lift Results
The operation results are long-lasting unless the patient loses or gains drastic amounts of weight. Also, with age, the skin loses its natural elasticity, and sagginess can be observed again, regardless of the operation. However, it should be added that if the patient gains an excessive amount of fat and goes through weight loss, saggy skin can become an issue again. Yet, any sagginess after the weight loss will not be at disturbing levels, as the skin protects its laxity after an arm lift operation.
As a result of their arm lift operation with Clinic Center, patients will reach better-structured upper arms at affordable prices. Patients can maintain their effects in ideal conditions for years if they lead a healthier life with proper exercise and diet after the operation.
Brachioplasty Costs Abroad
Patients have various reasons to choose abroad for their plastic procedures, such as arm lift surgeries. However, the leading attraction is the prices, as in certain countries, plastic operations can cost a fortune. The surgeons are also excellent alternatives, as the country houses internationally renowned and acknowledged specialists; with their level of expertise, they can utilise any up-to-date methods to provide their patients with outstanding results.
Losing weight is a common obstacle for people around the world as in some cases, it can become a frustrating process, especially with all the saggy skin left on the body. If the looseness cannot be recovered with specific exercises, cosmetic interventions such as arm lift operation can be an excellent solution for those issues. Also, their insecurities about their bodies disappear, and their confidence level rises as a result of the procedure.
As the costs for cosmetic approaches are generally high in other countries, patients tend to avoid their issues until they discover a budget-friendly option. However, having an arm lift is comparatively more affordable. With its excellent surgeons, government initiatives to back medical tourism, and latest technology equipped clinics such as Clinic Center’s partner clinics, the demand for plastic surgeries increases each year.
The prices for arm lift operations can differ according to the methods applied, the surgeons’ experience, and any additions to the patient’s treatment plan. As each individual carries different structures, each requires an individual treatment plan designed according to their condition, skin characteristics, desired outcomes, and age. However, Clinic Center is a company assisted by the Turkish Ministry of Health and Economy and is able to offer its patients all-inclusive packages for their treatment .

Instructions for Brachioplasty
The information below includes general guidelines for Brachioplasty and should be followed by the patient for their convenience. However, the instructions patients acquire from their surgeons after the procedure must be prioritised. Clinic Center cannot confirm the reliability of the information below.
Before the Operation:
- The surgeon will call off the procedure if the patient is pregnant or not suitable for receiving anaesthesia.
- Patients are advised to avoid drinking alcohol or using tobacco two weeks prior to the operation as these substances interfere with the body’s circulatory system, impact the surgery results and increase the risks for possible complications with anaesthesia.
- The day before the operation, patients must not consume any foods or beverages after midnight. Patients should be hungry for general anaesthesia.
- On the day of the operation, candidates can shower or shampoo their hair before the surgery. They should remove their make-up, any hair products, nail polish or eyelashes.
- Baggy clothes with preferably buttons or zippers are easier to put on after the procedure. Patients should easily fit their arms in their clothes without causing any harm to their stitches.
- Do not carry your valuables or jewellery with you to the hospital.
After the Operation:
- Patients should keep their water intake to stay hydrated
- Take the medications prescribed by the surgeon to avoid any discomfort
- Avoid direct sunlight on the incision lines for a year after the operation to prevent any colour changes on the incisions. The colour may appear pink initially; however, they will adapt to the skin’s natural shade as they heal.
- Recovery usually takes one to two weeks.
- Patients should rest and avoid activities such as lifting weights or lifting their arms above the shoulders.
- Wait for at least two weeks for exercises; once you start, choose light exercises. Consult your specialist before beginning strength exercises. They are advised to promote muscle growth.
