Arm Lift

The skin of the upper arm may become loose and flabby as a normal consequence of the ageing process or following weight loss. This looks unsightly – even when fully clothed. Arm reduction surgery removes the excess skin and fat from the upper arm. This results in a scar along the length of the inside of your arm. The precise length of the scar will depend on the amount of excess skin that needs to be removed to achieve your particular requirements but every effort is taken to keep the scar as short as possible. In some cases liposuction is used alone or in combination with an arm lift to achieve the desired result. Surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic and requires an overnight stay in hospital.
