Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) with Dr. Çağrı Sade
Goodbye “bingo wings,” hello smoother, firmer arms
As we age, go through weight changes, or simply because of genetics, the skin on the upper arms can become loose, soft, and flabby. Even if you are active and exercise regularly, the upper arm area often does not tighten the way you would like. An arm lift (brachioplasty) with Dr. Çağrı Sade in Istanbul addresses this problem by tightening and removing excess skin and, when needed, combining it with liposuction to remove stubborn fat. The result is a more shapely, firmer, and youthful-looking upper arm.
Who is arm lift surgery suitable for?
This procedure is ideal for people who have:
- Loose, hanging skin on the upper arms
- Flabby tissue that moves or swings with arm motion
- Upper arms often described as “bingo wings” or “bat wings.”
- Skin laxity after weight loss or aging
- Localized fat deposits that make sleeves feel tight or uncomfortable
Exercise can improve muscle tone and overall appearance, but when the problem is stretched, loose skin, exercise alone is rarely enough. In many cases, surgery is the only effective way to remove excess skin and reshape the arm.
Skin removal and liposuction: why they work better together
Liposuction alone can reduce the volume of fat in the upper arm but does not remove excess skin. If the skin is already loose, taking out fat without tightening can even make the area look more deflated.
An arm lift with Dr. Çağrı Sade typically combines:
- Excision of excess skin to remove the hanging, flabby tissue
- Liposuction to reduce localized fat and refine the contour
This combination usually gives the best and most stable results, creating a smoother, slimmer, and more defined upper arm that looks better both in and out of clothing.
How arm lift surgery with Dr. Çağrı Sade is performed
At Dr. Cagri Sade’s clinic in Istanbul, arm lift surgery is carefully planned according to the amount of excess skin and fat:
- A low-profile incision is made along the inner aspect of the upper arm so it remains as discreet as possible when the arms are at rest.
- Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is tightened.
- Liposuction may be applied to blend the upper arm into the shoulder and elbow region more smoothly.
The aim is not just to cut skin but to reshape the entire upper arm into a more proportionate, balanced form that matches the rest of the body.
Why choose Dr. Çağrı Sade for your arm lift?
