An arm lift in Pattaya can help you get shapelier arms for less, giving you the confidence to wear sleeveless clothes once again without feeling embarrassed.

After the surgery, you will also look slimmer as the procedure is tailor-made to give your upper arms a more toned appearance.

Find out how you can take advantage of the affordable prices for cosmetic surgery in Thailand with medical Departures.

Loose, excess skin on the upper arms can always be camouflaged with appropriate clothes, but that means you are perpetually covered up. Bulging upper arms can have an appearance of bat wings, make it difficult to wear certain clothes and it is virtually impossible to get rid of the sagging skin, no matter how much exercise you do.

A brachioplasty (or upper lift arm surgery) will remove extra skin and tighten the area. The procedure may also involve liposuction to remove stubborn fat cells.

It should also be noted that this surgery does leave scars, which do fade in time.

With an arm lift in Pattaya, not only do you get the chance to enjoy an exotic holiday in Thailand but you'll also make considerable savings on this popular cosmetic surgery without ever having to compromise on quality. 

Pattaya is one of Thailand's most-visited tourist destinations, renowned for its famous beaches, golf courses and nightlife. It is a party destination with huge outdoor markets and cheap shopping, but there are also cultural and natural attractions to enjoy. You can also get all kinds of international cuisines here since it is a tourist hot-spot, as well as the local Thai food.

Other attractions include gardens, floating markets and a water park, with the Thai capital, Bangkok, only a 90-minute drive away.

It should be noted that you will need to take things easy following surgery before you fly home; thus, it is recommended that you get your holiday activities out of the way before the procedure. However, that's not to say you'll be confined to your hotel room, especially with the city's numerous spas, air-conditioned shopping malls, cinemas and other lowkey entertainment available.

Surgery of any kind, anywhere in the world, carries its own risks; booking through a trusted site like Medical Departures means you won't be putting your health and safety in jeopardy as we always look into the credentials, training and qualifications of the doctors and clinics we list on our website.

We look into their background in detail, gather patient testimonials and also carry out onsite clinic visits.

As there are varying kinds of arm lift procedures, the time taken for the surgery will also be different. These different varieties include:

• Mini arm lifts - where only the tops of the upper arms are surgically reduced and the excess skin removed; the sutures go into the armpit.
• Standard arm lifts - where incisions are made from the armpits to the elbows.
• Extended lifts - where incisions will go up to the sides of your chest to remove a lot of skin. 

If there are fat pockets, these may be removed via liposuction. The surgery can take up to three hours or more and is often done under general anesthesia.

After surgery:

• You will have bandages and perhaps drains to remove excess fluid and blood.
• It will take at least two weeks to be better for which time you will not be able to go to work, and you do need to take a few days of rest.
• The total recovery period will be around six weeks, after which time you can resume your exercises.
• The final results may be noticeable after approximately two to three months.

In Pattaya you can expect to pay a starting price of AUD 3,000, but this depends on the kind of procedures you need. In Australia, for example, an arm lift can cost more than AUD 10,000, so you will save a great deal by choosing to undergo this surgery in Thailand.

Please note that these are average estimates. Compare up-to-date-prices and see the quality on offer in Pattaya at V Plast Clinic (Pattaya), a top-rated clinic that offers arm lift surgery to international patients. 

If loose, crepey skin and hanging upper arms bother you, consider having a brachioplasty in Pattaya for thousands less than back home.
