Overview
An arm lift in Antalya, or brachioplasty, removes excess, sagging skin and refines the contour of the upper arms. It is often chosen after significant weight loss or where skin laxity has not responded to exercise. When helpful, liposuction can be combined to address residual fat. Dr. Duygu Aksoy plans each arm lift to balance a firmer contour with discreet scar placement.
Is it right for you?
- You have loose, hanging skin on the upper arms
- Your skin laxity has not improved with exercise or weight management
- You have lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin
- You are at a stable weight, in good general health, with realistic expectations
How the procedure is performed
Brachioplasty is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes around two to three hours. Dr. Aksoy removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue, placing the incision along the inner arm where it is least visible. Liposuction may be added to refine the contour where appropriate.
Recovery & timeline
A supportive compression garment is worn to reduce swelling and support healing. Most people return to desk-based work within about two weeks, with strenuous activity and heavy lifting reintroduced gradually from around six weeks. Swelling settles over the following months.
Results
An arm lift aims to create firmer, smoother and better-proportioned upper arms, with results that are typically long-lasting when weight remains stable. Scars are a necessary trade-off and usually fade over time, though scarring varies between individuals.
