Wings are useful and even beautiful on birds and bats, but not so much on people. If the fleshy area between your elbow and armpit continues waving long after your hand has stopped, you have arm wings. This physical condition can be embarrassing and can cause people to become uncomfortable exposing their arms. And that’s a shame because many of today’s great fashion trends incorporate sleeveless shirts and dresses.
A healthy
diet plus regular cardiovascular exercise, pushups and weight training can help
minimize arm wings, but not everyone can achieve the look they desire with
these methods.
An arm lift is a surgical way to reduce excess skin and fat
between the armpit and elbow. Also known as “brachioplasty,” this procedure can
contour your arms so they are more toned and proportionate.
Arm Lift Procedure
In an arm
lift, an incision is made on the inseam of the upper arm. The length of the
incision depends on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed. Liposuction
may be used to eliminate excess fat, excess skin is removed and underlying
tissue is tightened. The incision is closed with either stitches or absorbable
sutures.
Arm Lift Recovery
Expect to
recover approximately two weeks from arm lift surgery. During the healing
process it is necessary to wear a compression garment.
