What is Arm Lift?
Arm lift (brachioplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess sagging skin and fat from the upper arms, creating smoother, more toned arm contours—commonly sought after significant weight loss or due to aging.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Arm lift is often combined with other body contouring procedures like tummy tuck, thigh lift, or breast lift for comprehensive post-weight-loss transformation. Ask about package pricing for multiple procedures.
Insider Note:
Be realistic about scarring. The scar runs along the inner arm from armpit toward elbow and, while it fades significantly over 12–18 months, it is permanent. Most patients find the trade-off worthwhile for contoured arms they can show off in sleeveless tops.

"On November 25, 2025, Op. Dr. performed surgery for my drooping upper and lower eyelids. After a very friendly welcome in a very clean environment, I had a very painless and comfortable surgery. He even restored my eyes to an almond-shaped shape, which made me incredibly happy. His expertise made me feel at ease, as I was very apprehensive, and his reassuring approach was very pleasant. I owe him a debt of gratitude."

"On December 8, 2025, I underwent rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Gürcan Aslan. Before the surgery, I was honestly both very excited and a little anxious. However, from the first examination, Dr. Gürcan's approach, calmness, detailed explanations, and reassuring demeanor dispelled all my worries. He is a doctor who truly listens to what I want, plans the most suitable nose for my facial features, and applies it in an extremely natural way. The surgery process went much more smoothly than I expected. Afterwards, both the doctor and his team were very attentive at every stage. During follow-up appointments, even the smallest details and silly questions were patiently addressed. I truly felt "you are not alone" to the fullest extent ☺️ Now, about the result… it's been exactly one month, and my nose is so harmonious and natural with my face that everyone around me, including myself, loves it. It's exactly as I imagined, a very elegant nose that looks right on me. I am incredibly satisfied both functionally and aesthetically 🥰😍. I'm so glad I entrusted this surgery to Dr. Gürcan Aslan. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering aesthetics, feeling indecisive, or having fears. He is a doctor whose paths I'm so glad crossed, both for his professional success and his humanity 💖 I would like to thank Dr. Gürcan and his entire team for their efforts, attention, and sincerity 💖🌸✨"
