Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
What is an Arm Lift?
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have sagging skin, often caused by aging or significant weight loss. By tightening the underlying tissues and eliminating loose skin, an arm lift creates a more toned and youthful arm contour.
Arm lift in Turkey has become a popular choice for patients worldwide due to the expertise of Turkish surgeons, modern facilities, and competitive pricing. The procedure not only enhances aesthetics but also boosts confidence, especially for individuals who feel self-conscious about the appearance of their arms.
Causes of Sagging Arms
Sagging arms, often referred to as “bat wings,” can be caused by several factors, including:
- Aging: As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging in various parts of the body, including the arms.
- Weight Fluctuations: Significant weight loss can leave excess skin that does not conform to the new body shape, particularly in the upper arms.
- Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to sagging skin due to hereditary factors that influence skin elasticity.
- Lack of Exercise: Weak muscles in the arms can exacerbate the appearance of sagging skin, as toned muscles provide a firmer base.
Understanding the causes of sagging arms helps patients determine if an arm lift is the right solution for their concerns.

Arm Lift Before & Afters
Who is a Candidate for an Arm Lift?
An arm lift is suitable for individuals who:
- Have excess skin or fat on their upper arms that does not improve with diet or exercise.
- Experience sagging or loose skin due to aging or weight fluctuations.
- Are in good overall health and have no medical conditions that could impair healing.
- Maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
Patients seeking arm lift in Turkey often include those who have undergone bariatric surgery or significant weight loss. A consultation with a qualified surgeon ensures that the procedure aligns with the patient’s goals and physical condition.
How is an Arm Lift Performed?
1. Step
Consultation
The process begins with a consultation where the surgeon evaluates the patient’s arm structure and skin condition. A tailored surgical plan is created, outlining the most suitable technique for optimal results.
2. Step
Anesthesia
The arm lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety. This allows the surgeon to work with precision while minimizing discomfort.
3. Step
Reshaping
The surgeon makes incisions on the inside or back of the arms based on the chosen technique. Excess fat is removed using liposuction if needed, and loose skin is tightened to create a smoother and more toned contour.
4. Step
Closing
The incisions are carefully closed with sutures to minimize scarring. Compression garments are applied to the arms to support healing and reduce swelling during the recovery period.
5. Step
Post-Operative
Patients are provided with detailed recovery instructions and can return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Most resume light activities within a week, with full results visible as swelling subsides.

Patients Reviews
What Our Patients Say
1 month ago, I had tummy tuck, breast lift (and implants were placed) + liposuction at Gökhan teacher. I was very, very pleased with the result. I was very anxious especially about the breasts, but my teacher did a really excellent job, both in shape and size, it was exactly what I wanted and even more beautiful than before birth. The interest of my teacher and nurses is very good both before and after surgery.
