Arm Lift in Turkey for Men: The Solution for Sagging Arms

Often, factors such as weight loss can leave men with flabby arms. Adding to this, the loss in muscle tone with advancing age can also cause men to lose the tightness in their arms. These sagging arms can negatively impact the self-confidence of men and even affect their mobility. Adding to this, this can ruin men’s body image and even make them not want to wear certain types of clothing that show off their arms. In fact, even working out may not entirely help tone these saggy arms. A surgical solution to this problem is the arm lift surgery. Stay tuned to find out more about the armlift surgery for men in Turkey.

💪 What Causes Men to Develop Sagging Arms?

Sagging arms are a significant cosmetic concern, especially in men. Often referred to as the “bat wing” appearance of the upper arms, this aesthetic disparity occurs due to several factors. The common causes for sagging arms in men are as follows:

As we age, the levels of collagen and elastin decrease in the skin, making it prone to sagging and wrinkling in both genders. This, combined with age-related thinning of skin and loss of muscle mass and tone in men, leads to pronounced sagging in the upper arms (Biceps, Triceps).

Fat Accumulation

Gradual accumulation of fat deposits in the upper body stretches the overlying skin over time, leading to sagging. This form of sagging is particularly common in men who carry more fat in their arms.

Rapid Weight Gain or Loss

Fluctuations in weight also impact skin elasticity and tone. When the skin undergoes weight loss or weight gain in a short period of time, the saggy skin may not retract to its original position successfully.

Genetics And Lifestyle Factors

Genetics and lifestyle play an important role in the way we look. Men with a family history of upper body fat accumulation, loss of connective tissue, and loose skin are predisposed to arm sagging. Lifestyle choices like diet, activity levels, exposure to the sun, smoking, and alcohol impact the skin elasticity levels in men.

🎯 Even though exercise is great for good health, it may not help with saggy arms. Exercise helps build muscle, improve muscle tone; However, sagging skin requires surgical intervention in most cases.

💪 Arm Lift Surgery for Men in Turkey: How It Works 

The clinical term for an arm lift is Brachioplasty. There are three types of arm lifts available for aesthetic improvements of the upper arms in men. These include:

Full or Conventional Arm Lift

This type of arm lift is usually reserved for patients with significant loose skin under the arms. Although it has very good outcomes, there is a long post-operative scar due to the size of the incision that extends from the armpit to the elbow.

Limited or Mini Arm Lift

A mini arm lift is suitable for moderate sagging of the upper arm. This type of arm lift is minimally invasive, has a smaller incision, and the recovery period is shorter as well. 

Extended Arm Lift

The target patient pool for an extended procedure is people with significant weight loss who have sagging extending from the upper arm to the chest. It is a comprehensive procedure with better contouring and a long postoperative scar.

🎯 Arm lift costs in Turkey vary depending on the surgical facility, experience of the operating surgeon, and the surgical package. It is a versatile surgery that produces noticeable and long-lasting improvements in the upper arm aesthetics. Depending upon the type of arm lift surgery, the surgery can last between 1 to 3 hours.

🌟 The Procedure: What to Expect During the Arm Lift Surgery

The consultation is the first step of the surgery. The surgeon will check the patient’s medical history and carry out a physical examination, etc. Moreover, the surgeon will administer anesthesia for the patient’s comfort. After sedation, the surgeon will make the incision on the back or inside of the arm. The surgeon then excises the excess fat and may even perform liposuction for some toning. Moreover, the surgeon also rearranges and tightens the tissue for more contouring. Furthermore, the extra skin is also eliminated, which is followed up by absorbable sutures to close the incision. While the arms will already look a lot slimmer and contoured, the outcome of the surgery will require a few months of healing before it becomes fully apparent.
