Based on our clients or patients who come to our clinic, I must say that the aesthetic appearance of the arms in our body is a very important area for everyone, men and women, while men prefer muscular arms, women especially complain of intra-arm fat and intra-arm looseness. Although it is rarely seen locally without fat, factors such as loose and weak skin, genetic predisposition, excessive weight gain and loss, excessive sun exposure, gravity in the upper arms cause sagging by further increasing the loosening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. There are many solutions such as medical aesthetics and aesthetic surgery in arm sagging.
If the sagging in the skin is very intense and the person has lost excessive weight, of course, surgical operation is essential. Even if we have performed a surgical operation to strengthen the connective tissue in the arms, I think that a combined treatment with medical aesthetic applications is always suitable for the arm area.
If there is a normal laxity or thickness in the arms, vela shape III is a treatment method that we frequently apply in our clinic in order to both tighten and thin without surgery and our patients are satisfied. Fat burning mesotherapy serums can also be added to the vela shape application with the prediction of the physician and the acceptance of the patient. The treatment process is applied for a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 8 weeks with 1 application per week.
In arm aesthetics, new generation laser lipolysis devices are used to remove excess fat in the arms while tightening the subcutaneous tissue at the same time. This operation is a very practical and short recovery period for the patient. It can be applied with local anaesthesia. It is sufficient to use a corset for 2 weeks. It is a generally preferred operation with high patient satisfaction.
In cases with excess skin, arm lift surgery is the most suitable option. The operation is performed for the area from the elbow point to the armpit. Arm sagging in that area is regulated, if the arm sagging is not very high in degree, the operation can be performed only under the armpit and the arm lift can be completed by stretching the arm inward with a tiny incision. Thus, it will be as if there is no surgical scar on the person.
Arm lift aesthetic surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The operation takes approximately 1 to 3 hours. After the operation, it is necessary to wear an arm corset. The duration of the arm corset is approximately 3 weeks. After this period, the bruises and oedema on the arm gradually begin to disappear. After the operation, the patient should stay in the hospital for one day. After the operation, the patient should come to the control at certain intervals. There may be aches and pains and this is extremely natural. As long as the use of the medications given by the doctor after the operation is taken on time, the patient does not have much difficulty. When the suture scars on the arms after the operation are compared with the excess skin on the arms of the patient, suture scars are generally not a problem for the patient. For the remaining suture scars, fractional laser can be performed with the approval of the physician after 6 months.
Since arm lift aesthetic surgery is performed with hidden stitches that can dissolve on their own, there is no need to have stitches removed. Work requiring strength and sportive movements can be started after 4 weeks.
