About Arm Lift (Brachioplasty) Treatment

In recent years, the number of men and women suffering from excess skin and fat on the undersides of their upper arms has risen. There are a variety of reasons for this, including but not limited to, any combination of the following:
- Substantial changes in weight
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Family history
- Natural ageing
Unfortunately, this hanging skin and fat tends to be resistant to both diet and exercise and therefore arm lift (brachioplasty) is used in order to remove the extra skin and fat, resulting in a more defined contour.

"From the first visit I felt confident that this was the right place to have my procedure of an arm life clean clinic marvelous aftercare and fabulous results"
"Recently underwent an arm lift with Dr Ahmed in London clinic. I couldn’t fault the team and the care provided and I’m over the moon with my results. I would highly recommend him, I wish the scar was a little more hidden but he explained why it needed to be this way. I do think people need to research this well as I won’t lie the procedure wasn’t without pain, he kept me comfortable and the results are totally worth it."
