Arm lift surgery is performed to correct sagging in the arm area and provide an aesthetically better arm contour. The most common cause of arm lift surgery is sagging excess skin that occurs after weight loss. Aging and genetic factors are other causes.

Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. An incision extending from the armpit to the elbow removes excess skin and fat from the arm. The incision is made along the natural fold line on the inside of the arm. This ensures that the scars are less noticeable. In this way, the arm is stretched and tightened, and the arm is given a more aesthetic appearance. Liposuction is also added to the arm lift surgery if necessary. A one-day hospital stay is sufficient after the surgery. It is recommended to use a corset for one week.
