Sagging upper arms are very distressing for many
middle-aged and older women, who’d like to reveal a
little more but feel too self-conscious. Arm lift
procedures offer an effective solution to eliminate
loose skin and drooping bingo wings, and are fast
becoming one of the most popular procedures at the
Bella Vou cosmetic surgery clinic in Tunbridge Wells.

Alison Park, 47, from Erith, Kent
recently underwent an arm lift
procedure at Bella Vou. Alison’s
arms, which she refers to as her
‘bat wings’, have been bothering
her ever since the birth of her
first child.
This has seriously damaged her
confidence, and had a
tremendous effect on the choices
she makes when it comes to
choosing clothes and how she
spends her free time. Alison
commented: “I look out of
proportion and hate going
shopping as I won’t wear
anything that reveals my upper
arms, so I am really limited in what
I can wear.

“I can’t even bring myself to wave
to friends because I’m so
conscious about my arms
flapping about. When I see them
in the mirror it makes me feel sick
– it is really depressing.”

Vou explains how an arm lift can

benefit patients: “Confidence can
be easily eroded for anyone living
with shapeless upper arms. An
arm lift procedure (also known as
a brachioplasty) can rapidly
change a patient’s entire outlook
on life. The operation contours
and tones the upper a rms while
providing long-lasting results and
full recovery within two weeks.”
Alison is thrilled to be starting her
journey to more contoured upper
arms and boosted confidence. “I
am so happy to be going ahead
with this life-changing procedure
and cannot wait to experience
the end result. An arm lift is going
to give me a whole new lease of
life,” said Alison.
Next month we’ll reveal the
fantastic results of Alison’s
procedure!
