Why is Brachioplasty Cheaper in Istanbul?
Istanbul has become a global center for post-weight loss body contouring. Lower prices in Istanbul result from lower operational costs and the efficiency of experienced medical teams, not a compromise in surgical safety or facility standards. The reduced cost of living and medical overheads in Turkey allows us to provide high-quality surgery, extended hospital care, and luxury accommodation for a price significantly lower than surgery alone in Western countries.

Factors Influencing the Final Cost
The cost varies based on the severity of skin laxity. A Mini Arm Lift is the most affordable but is only suitable for patients with minimal loose skin near the armpit. A Standard or Extended Arm Lift requires a longer incision from the armpit to the elbow to remove significant “bingo wings,” increasing surgical time and cost. Additionally, combining the lift with Vaser Liposuction to debulk the arm before trimming the skin will adjust the package price.
25 Years of Expertise by Op. Dr. Abdolreza KHASH
Throughout my more than 25 years of surgical career, I, Op. Dr. Abdolreza KHASH, have repeatedly witnessed how skin laxity and sagging in the upper arms whether caused by massive weight loss or the natural aging process can deeply impact an individual’s self-confidence. An arm lift (Brachioplasty) is not just a procedure to remove excess skin; it is a meticulous anatomical sculpting process that restores proportion and youthfulness to the entire upper body.
In my practice here in Istanbul, I personally address the number one concern for most patients: the post-surgical scar. Rather than relying on traditional methods, as Op. Dr. Abdolreza KHASH, I strategically place incisions along the inner arm or towards the back, ensuring they remain hidden against your body during natural movement. Furthermore, to achieve a truly smooth and contoured transition, I frequently combine brachioplasty with advanced Vaser Liposuction. This dual approach allows me to reduce localized fat deposits while tightly draping the remaining skin, delivering a significantly more toned result.
My Personal Recommendations for Your Journey:
- Perfect Timing: Brachioplasty is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution. To achieve the most definitive and long-lasting aesthetic outcome, it is best to undergo this surgery once you have reached and maintained your stable target weight.
- Patience and Post-Op Care: Wearing the specialized medical compression garment consistently for the first 4 to 6 weeks is crucial. It minimizes swelling and guides the skin to adhere flawlessly to its new shape.
- Proactive Scar Management: While the incision line goes through a natural maturation phase and appears pinkish during the first few months, strict adherence to the silicon gels and custom scar-care protocols I prescribe will help the mark fade into a minimal, discreet line over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where will the scar be located?
For a standard arm lift, the incision runs along the inner bicep groove or the back of the arm, extending from the armpit toward the elbow. Our surgeons place it strategically so it is hidden against the body when your arms are down.
How long is the recovery for arm lift surgery?
Most patients can return to non-physical work within 10 to 14 days. However, you must wear your compression sleeves for 4-6 weeks and avoid lifting your arms above shoulder height during the early healing phase.
Can I just get liposuction instead of a lift?
Only if you have excellent skin elasticity. If you have loose, hanging skin (common after weight loss or aging), liposuction alone will leave the arm looking deflated and wrinkly. Skin excision (a lift) is required for a smooth contour.
Does the package include scar removal cream?
We typically provide basic wound care supplies. We also recommend specific silicone scar gels or sheets, which you can purchase at the pharmacy in Istanbul or back home to help the scar fade over the coming months.
When can I start lifting weights again?
You must avoid heavy lifting or strenuous upper body exercise for at least 6 weeks. Putting tension on the incision line too early can cause the scar to widen or heal poorly.
