ARM LİFT

What is Arm Lift?

An arm lift, is a surgical procedure for reducing excess skin which is generally sagging and tightening the underlying tissues. We can remove fat in the upper arm region. Changes on weight, getting older and heredity can cause your upper arms to have sagging appearance. Unfortunately you can not correct this situation with exercise.We can smooth your tissues with operation.

Mostly, your surgeon will remove extra fat with liposuction and smooth your arm with incisions on the inside or back your arms. Sometimes, your surgeon will use an armpit incision or one that extends from the top of your elbow to your armpit.
The operation is usually done within three hours.
