Tighter Arms. Smoother Skin. Renewed Confidence.
If you feel self-conscious about sagging or loose skin on your upper arms — especially when wearing short sleeves — you’re not alone. After significant weight loss, ageing, or a drop in skin elasticity, the arms often become a source of discomfort and frustration.
That’s where an Arm Lift, also known as brachioplasty, can help. This safe and effective procedure removes excess skin and fat from the underside of the upper arms, helping you achieve a firmer, more toned look from elbow to underarm.
At Clinic Phaselis, based in Antalya, Turkey, we’ve helped countless patients restore confidence in their arms through expertly performed arm lift surgery — in a safe, fully supported environment.
An Arm Lift is a surgical body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the inner side of the upper arm — the area between the armpit and elbow. The goal is to tighten and reshape the arm for a leaner and more youthful appearance.
This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who:
In some cases, liposuction may be combined with the lift to remove stubborn fat deposits — but skin tightening is key for visible results.
It’s a one-time procedure, meaning that with stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting.
You may be a suitable candidate for an arm lift if you:
This surgery is not a weight loss procedure. Patients should reach their target weight before undergoing any body contouring treatment.
An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the underside of the upper arms. It is often performed after significant weight loss, aging, or in cases where sagging skin does not respond to diet or exercise. The goal is to create a more toned, firm, and youthful arm contour.
Ideal candidates for an arm lift:
Patients who are still in the process of losing significant weight should postpone the procedure until they’ve stabilized their weight for at least one year.
In most cases, the incision runs along the underside of the upper arm, extending from the underarm (axilla) to the elbow. When possible, shorter or more discreet incisions are used. All scars fade over time and can be minimized with proper aftercare.
As with any surgical procedure, arm lift surgery carries some risks. These may include:
At Clinic Phaselis, patient safety is our highest priority. We take every precaution before, during, and after surgery to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
The results of an arm lift are long-lasting and often permanent, provided that you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Weight fluctuations or the natural aging process can affect long-term outcomes, but most patients enjoy their improved arm contours for many years.
Yes, many patients find an arm lift to be a life-changing procedure. If you’re bothered by loose, sagging skin on your upper arms, brachioplasty offers a dramatic improvement in shape and firmness — especially when diet and exercise have not produced the desired effect.
No, for the first three weeks following surgery, it is important to avoid sleeping on your side or stomach. You should sleep on your back with your arms supported on pillows to minimize swelling and prevent strain on the incisions.
You will need to limit arm movement initially. Around three weeks after your procedure, you can begin to lift your arms and resume light range of motion. Heavy lifting or strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four to six weeks, depending on your surgeon’s guidance.
Most patients can return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the nature of their job. If your work involves physical labor or lifting, your recovery period may be longer. Our medical team will give you personalized recommendations during your follow-up appointments.

I recently traveled from the US to Clinic Phaselis for a mummy makeover with Dr. Bahadir Celik. The procedures were not only affordable but also performed by a highly skilled surgeon.
The all-inclusive price covered everything—my stay, meals, transportation, lymphatic drainage massages, medication, surgical garments, a hotel nurse, and even at-home follow-ups. It was an excellent experience from start to finish!
