Arm lift (brachioplasty) in Op. Dr. Şuheda Çıldır (Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery)

About the clinic

Arm lift surgery, also known as brachioplasty, is available at the practice of Op. Dr. Şuheda Çıldır in Istanbul, Turkey. This procedure helps patients remove sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms to create a firmer contour. The treatment is led by Op. Dr. Şuheda Çıldır, a specialist with over 10 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Surgical Techniques for Better Contours

The clinic offers three main surgical methods tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The choice depends on the amount of excess skin and fat present in the upper arm area. These methods include:

  • Short-scar (mini) arm lift: The surgeon makes a small incision under the armpit. This method is best for patients with limited excess skin.
  • Standard arm lift: The incision runs from the elbow to the armpit along the inner arm. This addresses moderate sagging.
  • Extended arm lift: The incision extends from the arm down to the side of the body. This is often necessary for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight.

Procedure and Recovery Details

An arm lift typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes to complete. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. For patients who want slimmer arms, the doctor can combine the skin removal with liposuction. This helps to further contour the area by removing stubborn fat deposits.

Before the surgery, patients undergo a medical history review and blood tests. It is important to stop smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications for a few weeks before the date. While non-surgical options like radiofrequency or ultrasound exist, they only offer mild improvements. Surgery remains the most effective way to remove large amounts of loose skin.

Op. Dr. Şuheda Çıldır (Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery): more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

Dr. Şuheda Çıldır (Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery) is a private single-doctor practice established in 2026. This specialized clinic is located in Istanbul's Fulya neighborhood. The facility combines surgical precision with medical aesthetic treatments for rejuvenation.

Academic Background and Medical Team

Founder Dr. Şuheda Çıldır leads the medical practice. She graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2016. She then completed her residency at Kartal Training and Research Hospital.

The clinic operates with one lead surgeon. Dr. Çıldır focuses on facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and nose surgery. She also manages all non-surgical protocols personally. This structure ensures a single point of contact for patient care.

Facial Surgery and Rejuvenation

The clinic performs Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift for structural aging. This technique repositions facial layers instead of only tightening the surface. Surgeons release ligaments beneath the SMAS layer to move support structures. This approach creates a natural look by avoiding excessive skin tension.

Rhinoplasty options at the clinic include several techniques:

  • Primary Rhinoplasty for first-time cases
  • Revision Rhinoplasty to correct previous surgeries
  • Functional Septorhinoplasty to address breathing issues
  • Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty (Piezo) for bone shaping

The Piezo device uses a micro-motor system for millimetric precision in bone reshaping. It also reduces trauma to surrounding soft tissues during recovery. Full results typically stabilize within one year.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

The clinic offers Mommy Makeover protocols for post-pregnancy physical changes. Each plan is personalized. They often combine a tummy tuck with breast aesthetics and liposuction. Patients generally return to daily activities within two weeks.

Breast surgery covers a range of needs:

  • Breast augmentation using dual plane techniques
  • Mastopexy (breast lift) for sagging tissue
  • Breast reduction for physical discomfort
  • Gynecomastia surgery for male patients

After breast surgery, patients wear specialized compression garments for two months. Shape typically settles fully within three months.

Non-Surgical Medical Aesthetics

For regenerative care, the clinic uses Exosome skin therapy. This focuses on intercellular communication to repair skin naturally. Dr. Çıldır plans sessions based on skin thickness and sensitivity. Protocols often consist of four sessions at two-week intervals.

Stem Cell Therapy is another regenerative option. The clinic obtains cells from the patient's own fat tissue. Because it uses the patient's biology, there is no allergy risk. This treatment does not require general anesthesia for the injection phase.

The Youth Vaccine (H-100 Injection) is a notable injectable service. It combines pure hyaluronic acid with vitamins and antioxidants. This treatment increases hydration and reduces fine lines. Patients can typically return to social activities the same day.

Patient Care and International Services

The clinic treats patients using a multilingual approach. Staff speak Turkish, English, German, Russian, and Arabic. Dr. Çıldır provides detailed preoperative preparation for every surgery. This includes health status evaluations and medical history reviews.

The recovery process follows specific clinical guidelines. Patients receive instructions on dressing care and scar cream application. The clinic manages postoperative follow-ups to monitor healing. Most surgical patients can return to social life within 10–14 days.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars! I cannot recommend Dr. Şuheda ÇILDIR enough! I am now 4 weeks post-op and my results are absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived in Turkey, I was taken care of every step of the way. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and so reassuring. Even now that I’m back home, she is always there for me. If I ever feel unsure about anything, I can message her and she replies so fast. She constantly reassures me and makes me feel completely supported throughout my recovery. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stand out. I’m beyond happy with my results and the whole journey. I would 100% recommend her to anyone considering surgery — and I will definitely be back for more procedures in the future!

My experience with Dr. Şuheda Çıldır has been fantastic to say the least. Pre-Surgery Dr. Çıldır’s assessment of my desired procedures made it evident that she carefully looked at all my requests. Her response was very detailed and instilled confidence in me that she is the right choice. I had several more consultations with her before my surgery, In each of those Dr Çıldır was prepared to answer all my questions and gave me a lot of her time to explain all options. Surgical Procedures We agreed on a combined procedure consisting of: • Silicone chin implant revision • Mandibular silicone implants • Deep neck reduction, including liposuction under the platysma • Partial resection and suspension of the submandibular glands • Correction of digastric muscle tightness and platysmaplasty • Liposuction above the platysma • Deep plane neck lift Surgery Dr. Çıldır successfully performed all of these procedures in a single 10-hour session. Her skill and the seamless coordination of her team were remarkable. I even woke up briefly in the operating room and witnessed their professionalism and care firsthand. Everyone was warm, reassuring, and made me feel safe. Post-Surgery Despite the late hour (well past midnight) Dr. Çıldır personally visited me after this exhausting 10-hour surgery to provide a brief update. Post-Operative Care The following day, she followed up with a clear and detailed rehabilitation plan, explaining each step to ensure I understood my recovery process. Results & Outlook It has only been one week since the procedure, and although my face is still swollen, I can already see the beauty of her work. The transformation of my neck is incredible; precisely the tight, contoured jawline I had envisioned. Out of over 15 surgeons I consulted, most told me my request was impossible. Dr. Çıldır made it a reality. I look forward to sharing before-and-after photos as my recovery progresses a bit further. Dr. Şuheda Çıldır delivered on every level. Her expertise, dedication, and skill exceeded even my already high expectations. I am beyond grateful and truly believe she is among the top surgeons in her field. My sincerest thanks for your hard and perfect work. Until next time. -Daniel

Im from the united states and didn't know what my friend and coworker talked me into getting some work done in another country & very skeptical. Dr. Suhed, I call her Dr. Sue for short was nothing short of amazing & made me very comfortable. She explained everything to me multiple times in very good English and was patient with all my questions and i had alot, some very repetitive due to anxiety and nerves. Not only did she make me feel comfortable before and during the lipo surgery I had among other few procedures,she answered my questions post surgery and weeks and even months after. I can't tell you how grateful & appreciative I am of my Dr. Sue, but she is truely amazing and no nonsense plastic surgeon , and I truely mean that from bottom of my heart! Tysm! 🙏🏻
