What Is an Arm Lift and When Should You Consider One.

October 7, 2024

Many people feel self-conscious about their upper arms—especially after weight loss or as they get older. Sagging skin, often called “bingo wings”, can be frustrating and hard to tone, even with regular exercise.

At Neo Medical in South Wales, we offer arm lift surgery (also known as brachioplasty) to help patients achieve a smoother, more contoured upper arm appearance—with results that clothing and workouts alone can’t match.

What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift is a surgical procedure that removes loose skin and excess fat from the upper arms. It can:

  • Tighten sagging skin

  • Restore a more youthful arm shape

  • Improve how tops and sleeves fit

  • Boost overall body confidence

It’s a great option for those who’ve lost weight or experienced skin laxity due to ageing.

What Causes Upper Arm Sagging?

There are a few common reasons why people develop loose skin on the upper arms:

  • Weight loss – Skin that was stretched during weight gain may not retract

  • Ageing – As collagen production slows, skin naturally becomes less elastic

  • Genetics – Some people are simply more prone to sagging arms

While strength training can improve underlying muscle tone, it won’t remove stretched or excess skin—that’s where an arm lift comes in.

What Happens During the Procedure?

At Neo Medical, arm lift surgery is carried out by an experienced surgical team, right here in South Wales. Here’s what to expect:

  • The procedure is typically done under general anaesthetic

  • Incisions are carefully placed along the inner or back of the arm

  • Excess skin is removed and the tissue is tightened

  • Some cases also include liposuction for refined contouring

Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activity within 1–2 weeks.

Are You a Good Candidate for an Arm Lift?

You may want to consider an arm lift if:

  • You have loose or hanging skin on your upper arms

  • You’ve lost weight and feel your arms don’t match your new shape

  • You want a more defined contour that exercise can’t achieve

  • You are in good general health and a non-smoker

Our consultants at Neo Medical will talk you through your options, and ensure the treatment is tailored to your body and goals.
