The average Arm Lift Turkey Cost 2026 is approximately 60-70% lower than in the UK or USA, allowing patients to access board-certified aesthetic surgeons for complex procedures that might be cost-prohibitive at home. Prices generally range from $2,800 to $5,500, depending on whether a Mini, Standard, or Extended technique is required to achieve your contouring goals.
It’s Not One Size Fits All: Understanding the Incisions
The total cost of your surgery is directly related to the complexity of the incision required to remove the excess skin. A Mini Arm Lift involves a smaller incision tucked into the armpit, suitable only for mild sagging. However, most massive weight loss patients require a Standard or Extended Brachioplasty, where the incision runs from the armpit down to the elbow (or even onto the chest wall) to fully address the “bat wing” deformity. Understanding this trade-off between scar length and contour quality is essential for managing expectations.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning (The Scar Reality)
We believe in total transparency: There is no such thing as a scarless Arm Lift. If a clinic promises you ‘invisible’ results for severe sagging, please be cautious. The goal of a skilled surgeon is to hide the scar on the inner bicep groove so it is not visible when your arms are down. We trade ‘bat wings’ for a fine, fading line. Proper wound care and silicone sheets post-op are non-negotiable for the best aesthetic outcome.

What Else Do You Need to Pay For? (Potential Extras)
While our packages are comprehensive, transparency about “hidden” needs is vital for your budgeting:
- Compression Garments: You must wear these bolero-style sleeves for 4-6 weeks to reduce swelling and ensure the skin adheres to the muscle. ($100 value, usually included in our packages).
- Drain Removal: You may have surgical drains placed to prevent fluid buildup for 2-3 days. Staying an extra night at the hotel for proper drain removal by a nurse is highly recommended.
- Combination Surgery: Combining an Arm Lift with a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) or Thigh Lift is very common. This saves money on anesthesia and hospital fees, often reducing the total combined cost by 15-20%.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does the scar take to fade?
The scar will appear red and raised for the first 6 months, which is normal. It typically matures into a fine white or silver line after 12 to 18 months. Consistent use of silicone scar sheets and avoiding sun exposure are crucial for fading.
When can I lift my arms or drive?
You will have restricted movement for the first 2 weeks. You should avoid lifting your arms above shoulder height to prevent tension on the healing incision. Driving is typically permitted after 10-14 days once you are off pain medication.
Is liposuction included in the price?
Yes, Vaser Liposuction is often used in conjunction with the lift to contour the arm and remove fat deposits before the skin is excised. This ensures a slimmer, more defined result rather than just a tighter one.
Will my insurance cover this after gastric sleeve?
In most countries, Brachioplasty is considered cosmetic. Insurance rarely covers it unless there is severe, documented medical dermatitis (rashes) that fails to respond to treatment. Medical tourism in Turkey is a self-pay option, but the cost is often lower than a typical insurance deductible.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
The standard safety recommendation is 7 nights. This allows for pre-op testing, the surgery, 1 night in the hospital, and 5-6 days of hotel recovery to ensure drains are removed and incisions are stable before you fly.
Is the surgery painful?
Most patients report soreness and tightness rather than acute pain. The tightness is due to the skin being pulled firm. Oral painkillers manage the discomfort effectively for the first few days.
