Economic factors in Turkey

Turkey offers arm lifts and other cosmetic procedures at significantly cheaper prices than many Western countries. A main reason for this is the generally lower cost of living and operating costs.

High competition in health tourism

Health tourism in Turkey is a growing sector characterized by intensive Competition. This competition ensures that clinics offer their services at competitive prices to attract patients from all over the world. Despite the lower prices, the quality of medical care is not compromised. Many clinics in Turkey are equipped with the latest technology and run by internationally experienced specialists.

Government support and incentives

The Turkish government is actively promoting health tourism, which leads to further cost savings. Government incentives and subsidies help clinics provide world-class medical services at affordable prices.

The clinics benefit from efficient operational processes and the high level of expertise of their employees, allowing them to offer high-quality services at affordable prices.

Patients can expect high quality medical care at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost in many Western countries.

When planning an arm lift, various additional surgeries may be considered depending on the patient’s individual needs and aesthetic goals. Here are some of the most common possible combinations:

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

• A tummy tuck may be performed in conjunction with an arm lift, particularly if more comprehensive body contouring is desired following significant weight loss.

Breast surgery

• Breast enlargement, Breast lift or breast reduction can be performed at the same time as an arm lift to improve the proportions of the upper body.

Thigh lift

• A Thigh lift is another option that is often combined with an arm lift to correct loose skin on the legs.

Gluteal lift

• For a comprehensive body tightening, a Buttock lift can be carried out together with the arm lift.

Liposuction

• Lipsuction can be performed on various parts of the body, including the arms, to remove excess fat and improve contours.

Facial lifting (facelift)

• If necessary, a facelift to rejuvenate the face can be carried out in combination with an arm lift.

Any combination of procedures should be discussed carefully with a qualified plastic surgeon. It is important to consider the patient’s health status, recovery time, and desired aesthetic goals to achieve the best results.

Internal arm incision

• The incision is made on the inside of the arm, usually from the armpit to the elbow. This method is good for removing excess skin and is less visible when the arm is against the body.

Back arm incision

• An alternative is an incision on the back of the arm. This method is sometimes preferred when larger amounts of skin need to be removed.

Limited incision

• For minor skin laxity, a smaller incision near the armpit may be sufficient. This method results in fewer scars, but is only suitable for patients with little excess skin.

Extended arm lift

• If there is significant skin laxity that extends beyond the arm, the incision can be expanded to include the surrounding areas, such as the armpits and lateral chest wall.

After a Weight Loss Surgery in Turkey It is important to wait until your weight is stable and you have fully optimized your health before undergoing an arm lift. Recommendations vary, but here are general guidelines:

Stabilization of body weight

• It is usually recommended to wait until your weight has remained stable for at least 6 to 12 months before undergoing an arm lift. This ensures that the results of the arm lift are permanent and do not change due to further weight fluctuations.

Health assessment

• A comprehensive medical evaluation is required before an arm lift. Your doctor will assess your general health, especially after such a significant operation as a weight loss surgery like Gastric Sleeve or Mini gastric bypass.

Optimization of nutrition

• After gastrectomy, adequate nutrition is critical to healing and maintaining health. Before an arm lift, any nutrient deficiencies should be compensated for to ensure optimal wound healing and recovery.

Consultation with the surgeon

• Consult with both the surgeon who performed the gastrectomy and the plastic surgeon who will perform the arm lift. They can give you specific recommendations based on your individual healing process and health progress.

Consideration of recovery time

• Remember that any surgery places additional stress on the body and requires its own recovery time. Make sure you allow enough time between procedures to ensure a full recovery.

The decision on when to undergo an arm lift after stomach reduction surgery should be made carefully and in consultation with medical professionals to ensure the best results and your safety.
