Don’t get in a flap about
your bingo wings

THE WITCHING HOUR cont.

Many women crave the toned, contoured upper
arms of Hollywood A-listers, but in reality achieving
the desired look is very difficult. Drooping bingo
wings have been a source of great distress for 47
year old Alison Park, ever since the birth of her
first child over a decade ago.

Alison recently underwent an
arm lift procedure at the Bella
Vou cosmetic surgery clinic in
Tunbridge Wells to remove a
considerable amount of excess
skin from her upper arms, and
she’s thrilled with the results.

Alison said: “I tried everything to
lose the fat in my arms but
nothing seemed to work. I
decided to turn to cosmetic
surgery and I’m absolutely
thrilled with the results! My arms
are now significantly thinner and
more contoured as a result of
the procedure. I’m so much
happier and the boost to my
confidence has been nothing
short of a miracle.”

Arm lift surgery, also known as
Brachioplasty, is a cosmetic
surgical procedure that reduces
excess loose skin and fat to
effectively tone and contour the
upper arm and provide a
slimmer, more youthful
appearance. The scars are
discreetly positioned on the
inside of the arm and fade over
time, although most patients
consider some scarring a small
compromise for having the

slender arms they have always
dreamed of.
Mr Amir Nakhdjevani, consultant
plastic surgeon at Bella Vou, said:
“The procedure reduced Alison’s
arms by 16cm, which is a
considerable reduction. In many
cases a patient’s issue with their
physique has had a really
detrimental effect on their
emotional wellbeing and selfconfidence. Alison’s arms were
stopping her from living the life
she wanted to and now thanks
to the procedure she has a
totally different outlook on life.”
Alison continued: “My friends
and family have all noticed the
difference, not just in how I look
but mainly because I’m so much
happier and more positive now.
The team at Bella Vou were
absolutely fantastic and they’ve
all been very attentive
throughout my recovery.”
