Arm Lift in Antalya, Türkiye
An arm lift (brachioplasty) trims loose skin and some fat from the upper arms. The trade-off is a scar, usually along the inner arm. We coordinate it in Antalya with 2 nights in hospital, VIP airport transfers and 2 years of aftercare, and your surgeon decides at examination whether it suits you.

Who asks about an arm lift?
Mostly people with hanging upper arm skin after big weight loss, and some who notice it with age. The real question is the scar. If a visible line on the inner arm is a fair price for firmer arms, it may be worth discussing. You should also be 18 or over, at a stable weight, ready to stop smoking around surgery and clear about what to expect.

Risks and recovery
The general risks of surgery apply: bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, blood clots and possible revision. With an arm lift, also consider:
- A long visible scar on the inner arm, which may widen or thicken.
- Wound healing problems, particularly near the armpit.
Swelling is normal, and compression sleeves stay on for several weeks. Early on you limit lifting and keep your arms below shoulder height. Your surgeon tells you when to return to work. After major weight loss, body contouring may also be relevant.

An independent, licensed surgeon carries out the arm lift at a partner hospital. See how to choose a surgeon abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Will I have a scar?
Yes, along the inner arm. It fades but never goes completely.
Can liposuction be used instead?
Possibly, if the problem is mainly fat and your skin is firm. Liposuction does not remove loose skin.
Can an arm lift be combined with other procedures?
Sometimes, as part of body contouring after weight loss. Your surgeon weighs the extra risk.
How long should I stay in Antalya?
Two nights in hospital, plus a hotel stay planned with your surgeon. See how long to stay in Antalya after surgery.
Should my weight be stable first?
Yes, for some time before the operation.
