What is an arm lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and stubborn fat from the upper arms to create a tighter, slimmer, and more sculpted arm shape. It is the ideal solution for patients who experience loose or hanging skin due to major weight loss, aging, or genetic factors and cannot achieve firm arms through exercise alone.

Who is a good candidate for an arm lift?

This procedure is recommended for patients who:
• Have sagging or “bat wing” upper arms
• Lost significant weight and have excess skin
• Have poor skin elasticity
• Want more defined and proportional arms
• Feel uncomfortable wearing short sleeves

How does your journey work at NodensCare?

Your experience starts with an online consultation to evaluate your arm structure and skin quality. Upon arrival in Istanbul, you are welcomed with VIP airport transfer and taken to your hotel.

At the hospital:

• Face-to-face consultation with your surgeon
• Detailed arm analysis and surgical planning
• Pre-operative medical tests

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1.5–3 hours.

What happens during the procedure?

• Excess skin is removed
• Stubborn fat is eliminated (with or without liposuction)
• The arm is reshaped for a smooth and natural contour

The result is firmer, more toned arms that match your body proportions.

After the operation

• One night hospital stay (in most cases)
• Medical compression garment for shaping and support
• Control visit before returning to the hotel

Most patients can return to light daily activities within 5–7 days.

When will I see the final result?

• Immediate improvement in arm contour
• Visible tightening as swelling decreases in 4–6 weeks
• Final result in about 3 months

Will there be a scar?

Yes, the scar is placed along the inner side of the arm where it is discreet and fades significantly over time.
