The arms may tend to sag for some reason. In this case, it can cause discomfort to people both aesthetically and psychologically. Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Op.Dr.Celal Alioğlu gave important information about the subject.
Why do arms droop?
Sagging is when the skin loosens and moves away from the tissue while it should wrap around the muscle tissue under normal conditions. skin sagging; It can also be summarized as the skin leaving itself to gravity due to the deterioration of the structure of the skin after processes such as aging, weight gain and birth.
The area most prone to sagging: Our arms!
In fact, arm sagging is a situation that even people who do regular sports complain about. Since women have a more oily and soft tissue and use arm strength less than men, they may encounter the problem of arm sagging at an earlier age. But this does not mean that the problem is unique to women, as we can say that men suffer from the same condition.
Arm drooping worries us more in terms of appearance. We may even have to change a beautiful dress we chose for a special day due to sagging in our arms. However, it should not be forgotten that these sagging can become a problem that reduces the quality of life due to conditions such as friction and sweating, as well as a bad appearance. For those who do not want to experience all these, it is extremely important to determine the cause of the arm sagging problem!
Causes of arm sagging;

- Overexposure to harmful sun rays
- Gravity
- rapid weight loss
- Genetic predisposition
What can it do for small sags?
“My problem is not serious yet. I'm at small beginnings, can I hinder progress? If you are asking, we can say that tight arms can be achieved with many different methods depending on the severity of the sagging. What is important at this point is how sagging our arms are and how much we want to tighten them.
Does it get better with exercise?
More sagging may appear on oily and thick arms. Frequent weight gain and loss can cause the arms to droop down. It is recommended to support your skin elasticity with sports so that the skin does not sag after losing weight. However, sometimes with weight loss, sagging of the arms can be seen with the loss of adipose tissue. In fact, sports and exercise are a factor that strengthens the arm muscles, not the skin. However, with the growth of the muscles and the effect of collagen production, the skin begins to tighten. Sport is the body's greatest protector against sagging. So yes, sports can prevent sagging to a certain extent. However, if we are talking about very serious, advanced sagging, sports will unfortunately be insufficient.
Are you saying that the word "mild" is not enough for the drooping in my arms?
In cases where the skin structure is severely deteriorated, it may be necessary to surgically correct the skin and restore its old tense and flexible structure. The aim here is to surgically remove the subcutaneous connective and adipose tissues of the excess skin that has lost its healthy structure by sagging, and to reorganize the remaining tissues to gain a healthy appearance. Then, the first thing to do is to see an aesthetic and plastic surgery specialist.
The definitive solution: Surgical intervention: Brachioplasty!
What is brachioplasty?
Arm lift surgery!
Cream, firming corset, arm exercises and temporary solutions can be used for arm sagging. Again, mild or moderate sagging can be corrected with various liposuction techniques. However, surgery is the only permanent solution method for the patient with severe arm sagging to get rid of this problem. If the lubrication and sagging in your arm area bothers you a lot, it is inevitable to have an operation.
Arm lift surgery, which we call brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure in which excess skin is removed from the inside of the arm and the arm skin is stretched and sutured again.
Will there be any scars from the surgery?
Op.Dr.Celal Alioğlu, You may have asked this question by thinking, "I don't want to get surgical scars while I want to get rid of the sagging appearance." There is no need to worry. Because this operation is an operation in which the surgical scar remains on the inside of the arm. In other words, with an operation where scars are not visible, the arm will regain its former beautiful appearance by wearing a corset for 1-2 weeks. The result is definite and effective. Recovery periods may vary according to the size of the operation. Patients with arm lift aesthetics do not need to repeat this operation at certain intervals. It is a one-time surgery. After the stretching process, the arm does not return to its former sagging state. However, if the patient has made a habit of gaining and losing excess weight, arm sagging will be inevitable.
