When you wave to say hi or goodbye to acquaintances, do your upper arms wave too? Sagging skin, tissue and fat on the upper arms can create “bat wings” that are unattractive when you wear sleeveless attire. If you want to restore firmness and slim your upper arms, you may need more than diet and exercise to obtain the results you desire. An arm lift can remove excess fat and skin, eliminating those upper arm bat wings.

What is an Arm Lift Surgery?

Loose tissue that hangs under the upper arms usually occurs due to aging and weight fluctuations. Gaining weight on the upper arms can stretch the skin – even when weight is lost, the skin may not return to its former shape. The skin also loses elasticity with age as collagen and elastin production wane. The result can be stretched, swinging skin and tissue under the upper arms that can be embarrassing. At a certain age, surgery may be the only option to restore firmer, youthful upper arms.

An arm lift surgery addresses the excess skin, fat and tissue that create bat wings. The procedure usually includes using liposuction to remove excess fat to slim the arms. The excess skin can also be trimmed and tightened to create firmer upper arms. Experienced plastic surgeons can carefully hide the incisions to ensure there are not any obvious scars from the procedure.

If you want the option to wear sleeveless shirts without exposing sagging skin and fat, an upper arm lift may be right for you. Contact a local experienced plastic surgeon to learn more about arm lifts to eliminate your bat wings for good.

Are You Hiding Your Upper Arms?

As the warmer weather approaches, tank tops, swimsuits and sundresses are all begging you to ditch the sleeves and bare your arms. But if you have extra skin or fat on your upper arms, you may be clutching your long sleeve shirts and wishing for summer to be over. Don’t miss out of the summer fashions and cool clothing – instead of hiding your arms, consider a cosmetic surgery solution.

Heavy upper arms can be difficult to lose through diet and exercise. For some, it is a genetic issue; many women have ‘matronly’ arms, even when they are at a healthy weight. For others, it could be leftover skin from weight loss or skin that has sagged due to age. Cosmetic surgery options can target this problem area and give you upper arms that are ready to be exposed in those cute summer outfits.

There are two main surgical procedures that can address upper arms that have excess fat or skin: arm lifts and liposuction. An arm lift is better for those that have excess or sagging skin, usually from age or weight loss. The lift can remove the excess skin and tighten the upper arm area. Liposuction is for those who just have extra fat on their arms that they want reduced. Even if you have always had heavy arms, liposuction can permanently remove the fat and create arms that are slender.

Let your arms come out of hiding this summer! Contact your local plastic surgeon that offers arm lifts or liposuction to address that problem area. You will feel more self-confident and finally get to wear the fun summer outfits that you have been avoiding.
