How risky is an arm lift?
Arm lift surgery is performed in the form of local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Arm lift operations do not have a special risk other than the risk of normal general anesthesia surgery. If the operation is not performed correctly, in this case, the problem of opening and late healing of the wounds and stitches may occur. Arm lift surgery has no risk and is an easily performed plastic surgery. Classic arm lift aesthetics, spider web aesthetics and Thermi Tight aesthetics are very effective methods for arm sagging. But regardless of these methods, age-related effects cannot be prevented. Sagging of arm skin may occur due to aging. For this reason, arm lift operation may be required at December intervals. Arm lift operations, like other aesthetic operations, have some risks. For example, infection is one of the main risks. These risks are very common risks. There is no serious risk.
Arm lift surgery performed on arm sagging is usually performed under general anesthesia and sometimes with local anesthesia. It lasts on average 1-3 hours Dec. In very heavy sagging and lubrication, the patient can stay in the hospital for a day. Liposuction is sufficient in cases where the skin quality is good and there is no sagging, that is, only in cases where fat accumulation is excessive. But if there is sagging skin along with excess fat tissue, a lift operation is required. In all surgical operations, some scars remain in the area where the surgery was performed. These scars fade over time and become close to skin color and are not very disturbing. In addition, these marks are located in hidden parts of the body. In arm lift operations, these scars are also left in the inner arm part.
