Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Today, operations intended for the correction of body contours are quite popular. The fact that they produce successful results is the most important underlying cause of this.

Aging is characterized by the loss of skin thickness and elasticity in the course of time. Flabbiness of the changed skin increases with the atrophy of the adipose, muscle and bone tissues. Normally, elastic fibers constitute 2-4% of the inner layer of the skin called the ‘dermis’ but this rate decrease and the skin losses its elasticity due to aging. In general, aging develops as a result of the combination of the environmental factors and atrophy that is under the control of the genetic factors. As the skin and subcutaneous tissues are suffered from atrophy, gravity pulls the skin down.

Today, operations intended for the correction of body contours are quite popular. The fact that they produce successful results is the most important underlying cause of this. The body should be assessed as a whole within the scope of contour correction, and the proportions between the regions should be taken into consideration. Otherwise, the result obtained would be unsatisfactory.
