Arm reduction and arm lift

What is an arm reduction and lift?

If you have loose or sagging skin on your upper arms, arm reduction surgery, also known as brachioplasty or arm lift surgery, could help to give you slimmer, more shapely and youthful looking arms. The procedure reduces the amount of loose skin that leads to 'bingo wings' or 'bat wings', and may give women back the confidence to wear short sleeved clothes again. It is often performed when substantial weight loss has resulted in loose, sagging skin that can't be improved through regular physical activity.

About the arm reduction and arm lift procedures

Excess skin and fat are removed from incisions made on the inner and under surfaces of your arm, sometimes from the armpit to as low as the elbow. The remaining skin is stretched and stitched back together resulting in slimmer, smoother upper arms. There will be some visible scarring and your consultant surgeon will discuss this with you before your operation.

Arm reduction surgery and arm lift surgery from Spire Cosmetic Surgery are usually performed under a general anaesthetic, which means you will be asleep during the procedure. You may need to stay in hospital overnight, and will also need to plan time off work so that you can relax and recover at home.

As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important that you review your expectations thoroughly before you decide to proceed. Your surgeon will explain the results you can expect after arm reduction surgery, and will discuss the associated risks and alternatives to the procedure before going ahead.
