Removes loose or excess skin and tissue from the upper arms to create a smoother shape.
May help improve overall body proportion after significant weight changes or ageing.
Removing redundant skin can lessen irritation or rubbing that may occur with movement.
Uses the body’s own contours rather than implants or fillers to achieve a refined arm shape.
Results and recovery vary between individuals. Your surgeon will discuss achievable outcomes during consultation.
This procedure may be suitable if you:
• Have excess upper-arm skin following weight loss or ageing.
• Have localised fat deposits that persist despite lifestyle measures.
• Possess adequate skin elasticity for improved contouring outcomes.
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about surgical results.
Your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, anatomy, and goals to determine if this procedure is appropriate for you.
Your consultation focuses on understanding your goals and assessing arm contour, skin tone, and overall body balance.
You will receive clear pre-operative instructions and medical assessments to ensure readiness for surgery.
Excess skin and fat are surgically removed, and the underlying tissues are adjusted to refine arm contour. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia in a sterile surgical setting.
Recovery time varies; many patients resume light activities within 1–2 weeks. You will receive detailed post-operative care instructions, including wound care, pain management, and follow-up appointments.
As with all surgeries, potential risks include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, and scarring. Your surgeon will discuss these in detail and explain steps taken to reduce them.
