Arm Lift in Turkey (Brachioplasty): A Guide to Toned, Youthful Arms
Significant weight loss or the natural aging process can often leave behind loose, sagging skin on the upper arms, sometimes referred to as “bat wings.” This can be a source of self-consciousness, making you hesitant to wear sleeveless clothing, even if you are otherwise happy with your physique. An Arm Lift, or Brachioplasty, in Turkey is a surgical procedure designed to definitively solve this issue.
Performed by an expert surgeon like Dr. Emre Özenalp, an arm lift removes excess, sagging skin and fat from the upper arm, creating a smoother, firmer, and more toned appearance. It is a powerful standalone procedure and is also often included as a complementary part of a comprehensive Mommy Makeover for a complete, harmonious body transformation.
The best doctor in Istanbul, very sweet and caring. He listens carefully to your wishes and plans everything step by step. I'm very happy with this doctor and his team. They are truly very sweet and caring people. I think Dr. Emre Özenalp is the best and number one in Istanbul. I can't describe him in words.
advise you to deal with him. The result of the operation was more than wonderful. He and his wonderful medical staff.
Thank you dr.Emre🤍
The surgery involved not just the hernia repair but also a tummy tuck, 360 liposuction, and a BBL reduction, all of which were necessary for the best outcome. Despite not having much skin to work with, the results were incredible. The scarring has healed so well that it’s almost unnoticeable. I am incredibly happy with the outcome and the care I received.
My mum traveled with me to Istanbul to be by my side and to have a little holiday. Dr. Emre and his team treated her with the same care and respect as he did with me, which meant a lot.
I am thrilled with the results and am grateful to have found not just a fantastic surgeon, but a good friend as well. I highly recommend Dr. Emre to anyone seeking quality care.
Are You an Ideal Candidate for an Arm Lift?
An arm lift can deliver excellent results for the right patient. You are an ideal candidate for this procedure if you:
Have Significant Upper Arm Skin Laxity: You are bothered by loose, sagging, or “bat wing” like skin on your upper arms.
Are at a Stable Weight: You are close to your ideal body weight, and it has been stable for at least six months.
Are in Good Overall Health: You have no medical conditions that could impair healing.
Are a Non-Smoker: Smoking can significantly compromise the healing process. You must be willing to quit well before and after surgery.
Have Realistic Expectations: You understand that the procedure will create a permanent scar, which Dr. Özenalp will place as discreetly as possible.
The Arm Lift Procedure: Your Personalized Approach
The goal of an arm lift is to create a more streamlined contour from the underarm to the elbow. The specific technique used by Dr. Özenalp will depend on the amount and location of your excess skin.
Incision Technique: The most common technique involves an incision on the inside or back of the arm, extending from the armpit to just above the elbow. This placement allows the resulting scar to be as concealed as possible in most natural arm positions. For patients with minimal excess skin, a shorter “mini arm lift” with a smaller incision in the armpit may be an option.
Combination with Liposuction: For the best possible contour, an arm lift is frequently combined with Liposuction to first remove excess fat deposits before the skin is tightened.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Özenalp carefully removes the excess skin and fat, tightens and reshapes the underlying tissue, and then meticulously closes the incisions to ensure the best possible scar healing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How visible will my arm lift scar be? An arm lift requires a significant incision, resulting in a permanent scar. However, Dr. Özenalp is an expert at placing the scar on the inner aspect of the arm, making it much less noticeable during most everyday interactions. With proper scar care, it will fade significantly over time.
Is an arm lift painful? You will experience discomfort and soreness, especially in the first week, which is well-managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients find the recovery manageable.
How long do the results last? The results of an arm lift are very long-lasting. The excess skin and fat that are removed are gone for good. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle will protect your beautiful new contours for many years to come.
