Arm lift (brachioplasty) in Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner
About the clinic
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, at the clinic of Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner in Istanbul helps remove sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms. This procedure is performed by a specialist surgeon who also serves as a lecturer at Istanbul Nişantaşı University. The surgery focuses on reshaping the arm to create a firmer, more toned appearance through precise surgical techniques and body contouring expertise.
Procedure and Recovery Details
The arm lift surgery typically takes between 1 and 2 hours to complete. Patients stay in the hospital for 1 night after the operation for monitoring. The surgeon places incisions on the inside of the arm to keep scars hidden and discreet. To improve the final shape, the doctor often uses liposuction alongside the skin removal. This combined method helps create a smoother transition between the arm and the rest of the body.
Recovery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to their daily routines within 2 to 3 days. Specific post-operative care steps include:
- Showering: Allowed 3 days after the surgery.
- Stitch removal: Scheduled for 2 weeks after the procedure.
- Compression: Wearing a special corset for 4 weeks to support the tissues.
- Final results: The new arm contour becomes clearly visible after about 1 month.

Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner: more details about the clinic
Op. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner is a private plastic surgery practice in Istanbul's Nişantaşı district. The clinic focuses on aesthetic surgery and non-surgical beauty treatments. Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner leads the medical team, offering surgical solutions for body contouring and facial rejuvenation.
Medical Expertise and Leadership
Dr. Mehmet Haşim Güner heads this single-doctor practice. He specializes in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. He completed his medical education at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine and later trained at Bülent Ecevit University.
Two doctors oversee all patient care. Surgical appointments follow a pre-examination to determine the best approach. The clinic uses a patient-focused model for both surgical and minimally invasive procedures.
Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
The clinic performs surgical procedures for the body and face. Surgeons use 360 liposuction to target the abdomen, waist, and back at once. This treats multiple areas in one session for more balanced results.
Specialists offer several body and facial procedures:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Arm and thigh tightening
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery)
- Eyelid surgery
- Genital aesthetics including labiaplasty and vaginoplasty
Genital surgeries like vaginoplasty typically take 30–60 minutes. Healing is usually complete within 30 days. Most surgical patients leave the hospital within 24 hours.
Mammology and Breast Aesthetics
The clinic offers breast surgery options for women and men. Mastopexy (breast lift) is performed under general anesthesia to reshape sagging tissue. Reduction mammoplasty treats oversized breasts and the physical discomfort they cause.
Male patients can receive treatment for gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Surgeons use liposuction-based techniques to remove excess tissue in about one hour. For advanced cases with sagging skin, they remove a half-moon skin section. This keeps the scar hidden around the nipple.
Advanced Technologies and Methods
The clinic uses specific platforms to improve surgical outcomes and skin quality. Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while protecting surrounding tissues. This reduces trauma and supports faster recovery.
For patients with loose skin, the clinic uses Renuvion J Plasma. This technology applies cold plasma to tighten skin on the arms, chin, or abdomen. It works alone or with liposuction to improve contouring results.
Non-surgical treatments are available for facial rejuvenation and sweating:
- Botox for dynamic wrinkles and excessive sweating
- PRP therapy for the face, hair, and hands
- Mesotherapy and collagen youth injections
- Facial fat transfer (lipofilling)
Post-Operative Recovery Support
The clinic provides detailed recovery protocols for safe healing. For liposuction and body contouring, patients follow a strict corset use plan. This means wearing the garment 20 hours daily during the first four weeks.
Patient guidance includes specific hygiene and safety steps:
- Showering is typically permitted one day after hospital discharge
- Regular drainage of seroma fluid helps prevent fluid buildup
- Massage supports tissue healing after liposuction
- Recovery plans are customized based on the volume of fat removed
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients traveling from outside Turkey through dedicated logistics. A specialized phone line handles requests and appointment scheduling for international visitors. Team members coordinate care before arrival via WhatsApp, phone, and email.
