Introduction to Arm Lift Surgery
The "bat wings" on your upper arms can fly away! But not in the literal sense, rather in a practical sense with the help of surgery! Bat wings are another term for the sagging folds of fat that hang from your arms. Apparently, you can get rid of these bat wings by undergoing a surgical procedure called "arm lift surgery."
Arm lift surgery is a type of body contouring procedure that aims to reshape the back and upper part of the arm and make it more toned. Although arm lift surgery is not a substitute for weight loss, it is still very useful for removing excess skin and tissue and achieving a smoother appearance for the upper part of the arm.
Benefits of Arm Lift Surgery
- Get rid of excess fat and skin and give your arms a new, harmonious shape.
- Regain the elasticity of your skin lost due to aging or weight gain.
- Eliminate feelings of embarrassment and boost your self-confidence.
- Easily wear tight clothing after reducing the size of your arms.
- Get arms that are more proportionate to the rest of your body.
- Feel more strength and ability to perform more challenging exercises.
Suitable Candidates for Arm Lift Surgery
If you are in good health, have stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure, you may be qualified or suitable for arm lift surgery. This surgery may also be a great option if you:
- Desire to reduce excess skin on your upper arm.
