Arm Lift Surgery
Who is it for?
The appearance of saggy upper arms can be a consequence of rapid weight loss and can become more apparent with age as the excess skin can start to hang unattractively.
This condition is commonly referred to as "bingo wings" and they are often quite difficult to change with exercise alone.
With short-sleeved tops, this condition can cause embarrassment.
Brachioplasty Surgery
The Hospital Group can help you achieve slim, toned arms with specialist arm lift surgery to remove the excess skin and tissue and reveal a much sleeker, younger shape.

Arm Lift: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens during arm lift surgery?
Cosmetic surgery to correct “bat wings” is technically called brachioplasty and removes excess skin on the upper arm, to provide a sleeker, slimmer profile with tauter skin.
Arms before surgery
Arms after surgery
Q: How is the procedure carried out?
The procedure is carried out under General Anaesthetic and you will stay overnight before you return home.
Q: What about recovery?
Arm lift patients are advised to take 2 weeks off work and avoid lifting or driving for 4 weeks. You will receive individual advice on this at your consultation with your surgeon, depending on your requirements and general health.
Q: Will the arm lift leave scars?
The surgeon will seek to conceal any incision lines within natural contours, although some scarring may be visible and all scars are permanent. Scarring can take around a year to fade from red to white. However, the improvement in your profile “beneath clothes” will be practically immediate.
Q: How do I find out if it's right for me?
An appointment with your surgeon is an opportunity to have an open and frank discussion about what aspects of your arms you are unhappy with, how the condition may have arisen and the improvements you would like to achieve. Your general health will also be assessed and the surgeon will recommend the best course of treatment . If you wish to have excess fat removed, rather than excess skin, liposuction may be a more suitable alternative.
