Arm lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Elliptical skin and fat tissues are removed through an incision made downwards from the armpit area. A drain is placed to collect blood and body fluids that may accumulate inside. These drains are removed after 24-48 hours. Blood thinning agents such as aspirin should be avoided for 10 days before surgery. In addition, if there are important disorders in the patient's history and medications that he or she uses constantly, the doctor should be informed. The blood tests necessary for you will be done on the day of surgery or before. Likewise, your anesthesia consultation will be made in the pre-operative period and the type of anesthesia to be applied to you will be decided. In addition, a drawing will be made in your room to plan the details of the procedure to be performed before the surgery. Following this, the necessary photo shoots will be completed for the comparison of the pre- and post-operative period.
The hardest time comes right after surgery on the first day. Drugs that induce sleep and painkillers are occasionally administered to make this time more bearable. After surgery, you are not permitted to consume anything for the first few hours. Usually, the first feeding is with liquid foods. After the operation, you can go home after the effect of the anesthesia wears off. Very rarely, you may need to stay in the hospital for 1 night. After you are allowed to go home, you are expected to spend the first 5-7 days at home rest. In addition, one should be careful about smoking in the first week after the operation. It should not be forgotten that smoking has a negative effect on the wound healing process. The first two days after the operation is the period when the body is edematous. During this period, the body collects water and movements become difficult. Generally, from the third day, edema begins to decrease, and movements become easier. From the second week after the surgery, you are allowed to return to your social life gradually. But you are expected not to do heavy work using your arms for six weeks.
Generally, you are allowed to take half showers for the first week without wetting the surgical area. From the second week, a full shower can be taken. You are not allowed to enter the pool and sea before the fourth week. Sauna, solarium, steam bath, sunbathing and heavy sports are undesirable for six weeks after the operation. The incision may be red, itchy, and very noticeable, especially in the first months after surgery (3-4 months). Over time, especially after the sixth month, it is expected that the color of the operation scar will lighten, and the itching will decrease. Up to two years may pass during this process. Even after two years, a skin-colored surgical scar remains in the operation area. This mark is in the visible area, it is necessary to wear long-sleeved clothing to hide it. In the postoperative period, long-lasting, sometimes permanent, numbness may also occur in the arm region. These are expected to get better over time.

A common early side effect of brachioplasty is discomfort. During the first week or two of recuperation, you'll most likely have bruising, swelling, redness, and mild to severe discomfort. Oral painkillers might ease any discomfort at this time.
Following the surgery, patients frequently state that they feel more attractive, confident, and confident.
If this applies to you, a brachioplasty, often known as an arm lift, can improve the contour. It eliminates the extra, sagging skin and fat that extends from the armpit to the elbow.
You might need to have drains following surgery if you get an arm lift: These aid in removing the fluid created beneath your skin throughout the healing process. Without drains, a seroma—an accumulation of this fluid—can occur.
Compression garments may be prescribed to patients for a period of three to six weeks in order to reduce side effects like swelling or bruising and maintain healthy arm healing.
