Arm Lift Surgery Abroad
As a result of weight loss and the normal age related effects on skin laxity, men and women often develop an excess of upper arm skin and fat which tends to hang down as a loose fold extending from the armpit and the elbow region, often referred to as 'bingo wings ' or 'bat wings'. This is most common after substantial weight loss which may result in loose, sagging skin that can't be improved through regular physical activity and a healthy balanced diet.
Upper Arm Lift, also known as Brachioplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the upper arm. It works from the armpit to the elbow, reducing the excess of sagging skin, the localized pockets of fat and also tightening and smoothing of upper arm tissue.
