Arm Lift in Turkey
An arm lift removes loose skin of the upper arm, often after a large weight change or with age. The scar along the inner arm is explained plainly, and liposuction does not remove that skin.
An arm lift is an operation that removes loose skin of the upper arm, often after a large weight change or with age. The skin hangs below the arm when it is raised, and liposuction does not take that skin away. The scar runs along the inner arm; it is explained plainly and is not promised to be a hairline. A small pocket of fat under good skin is a different case and is treated with arm liposuction instead. In Turkey the decision rests on how much skin hangs, on how steady your weight has been and on where the scar can lie. The aim is an arm with a closer outline. The scar stays where the skin was taken.
What it addresses
During the operation the loose skin is taken along the inner arm and the deeper tissue is closed so the arm lies closer. The length of the scar follows the amount of skin that hangs, and it is marked with the arm raised and then at rest. A small amount of fat can be thinned in the same session, but the main work is shortening the skin. The scar is explained plainly beforehand and is not described as thin or invisible. Weight should already be steady, because the operation does not make weight fall.
Who it is considered for
An arm lift is considered when skin of the upper arm hangs and swings, often after a large weight change or with age. What you pinch is skin and not fat. Weight should be steady, because a further change can loosen the skin again. Smoking, skin quality and earlier operations on the arm are asked before a plan is written. A small fat pocket with good skin is the arm liposuction conversation instead. The scar along the inner arm and the garment are discussed on the arm together.
How the plan is made
In the first days the arms are swollen, tight and sometimes bruised, and the line along the inner arm is not yet the result. A garment is worn for the first weeks to help the skin lie against the arm. Walking is encouraged; heavy lifting and raising the arms high are limited until the surgeon allows them. Help with dressing and washing is worth arranging before you travel. This page is general information; your plan is settled after examination and a written quote.
What the written plan settles
At examination the surgeon lifts the arm, pinches the skin and fat and reads how much hangs below it. Where the scar will lie along the inner arm, how long the line will be and how long the garment is worn are written at the same visit. The planned stay in Istanbul is 6–8 days. Op. Dr. Ramazan Güler clears the flight home once swelling and the wounds allow it. The final line of the arm is not judged in the hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions
An arm lift removes loose skin; arm liposuction thins fat when the skin can recoil. Liposuction does not remove a hanging skin curtain. If what you pinch is skin, a lift is the conversation. A small fat pocket with good skin is treated with liposuction instead.
The scar runs along the inner arm. It is explained plainly at the visit and is not promised to be a hairline. Its length follows how much skin hangs, and it is marked with the arm raised.
The operation shortens skin and does not make weight fall. If weight changes a lot afterward, the skin can loosen again and the correction does not hold its shape. The plan waits while weight is still moving.
No. Liposuction takes fat, and skin that hangs stays where it is. When the skin is good and only a small fat pocket remains, arm liposuction is the fitting case instead.
The planned stay is 6–8 days. That covers the operation, the first wound check and the garment. Op. Dr. Ramazan Güler clears the flight home once swelling and the wounds allow it.
No. The skin that is removed can change the scale a little, but weight loss is not the aim. Someone who wants to lose weight is advised to let the weight settle first. The operation does not replace diet or training.
It holds the skin against the arm while swelling falls and limits pull during movement. The shape of the first weeks is not the result. How long it is worn is said in the written plan and at discharge.
