Liposuction vs Lift

In cases where the problem is only fat accumulation without skin sagging, treatment can be done through arm liposuction and contouring. Techniques such as VASER or J-Plasma may also be used during the same procedure to tighten the skin and prevent sagging.

However, if there is significant muscle and skin sagging, especially with stretch marks present, an arm lift surgery is required, with or without liposuction. This procedure involves removing excess skin through a longitudinal incision on the inner or back part of the arm, starting from the armpit and potentially extending to the elbow, depending on the patient’s condition and the degree of sagging. In some cases, the arms can be lifted through a small incision in the armpit. The doctor selects the most suitable incision location based on body structure, sagging severity, and other factors.

Recovery Box

Dissolvable (absorbable) sutures are used, so they do not need to be removed after the healing period. Patients are advised to stay in the hospital for one night.
