ABOUT BRACHIOPLASTY IN TURKEY
For the brachioplasty arm lift in Turkey apart from improving person appearance, Brachioplasty surgery is usually performed with general anesthesia and takes around 2 hours to perform. An incision is made in the armpit where scarring will be hidden. The excess skin and deposit of fat tissue will be removed. Together with an arm lift, also liposuction can be done if there are large areas of excess fat that needs to be removed. Once the excess tissue has been removed the remaining tissues will be sculpted by the Turkish plastic surgeon and the incisions will be closed with sutures.
