It is possible to see sagging and cracks in the arms and legs due to genetic predisposition at an earlier age, due to sagging as a result 
of decreased skin elasticity in advanced ages, after excessive weight gain and loss in the arm and leg area.
Conditions such as loosening and reduction of the subcutaneous support tissue in the arms and legs, excessive and inappropriate accumulation of adipose tissue may cause the need for this surgery on the arms and legs.
With stretching surgery, you can have more taut, younger looking arms and legs.
How is the surgery done?
Excess and drooping skin and subcutaneous excesses are removed by making appropriate incisions from the appropriate areas. As a result of the surgery, there may be scars on invisible parts of the body. These scars are usually in the area near the armpit and the inner part of the arm, which are the least visible places for the arms when viewed from the outside. In leg stretching, the scar is hidden in the groin area, the inner part of the leg and the fold area under the hip. Liposuction surgery is often performed together with arm lift surgery. In this way, subcutaneous adipose tissue is reduced and the existing sagging skin is removed.
Surgery time
Under general anesthesia, arm lift surgery takes 2-3 hours, leg lift takes 2.5-4 hours.
What are the points to be considered after the surgery?
There is pain for a few days after the surgery. Pain is relieved with painkillers. As the days pass, the pain subsides completely. In the first days, there is also a feeling of tension in the arms and legs and swelling. In this process, it is recommended to keep the hands and feet elevated in order to reduce swelling. The patient is usually discharged after 1-2 days in the hospital.
Swelling and bruises can be seen in a few weeks after the surgery. The patient can return to his daily life in 7-10 days. However, patients are advised to use an appropriate corset for one month. In the same period, he should stay away from heavy exercise and not overstretch his arms and legs.
It takes 6 months to 1 year for all swelling to go away and for your arms and legs to take their desired final shape.
