TIGHTEN THOSE ARMS

-

A surgical arm lift, or brachiopla­sty, is the best option for loose, excess skin under the arms. An incision is made from the armpit down to the elbow to remove skin, leaving scarring on the underside of the arm. Sometimes, if there is a small amount of excess skin, the incision can be shortened. It’s performed under general anaestheti­c and you will need to rest for at least two weeks. Compressio­n garments are also worn for up to six weeks, and scarring can take up to a year to fade. From £5,000.
