Can you have surgery to remove bingo wings?
Bingo wing removal, otherwise known as arm fat reduction, arm lift or Brachioplasty, is the removal of the excess fat and loose skin that will banish ‘bingo wings’.
Many women struggle with ‘bingo wings’ once they reach middle age and crave the reduction of their arm fat.
Brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the circumference of the upper arms and removes excess lax skin.
The arm lift surgery targets what is often referred to as ‘bingo wings’ and is usually performed in conjunction with liposuction to improve the overall contours of the arms.
Can you have surgery to remove bingo wings?
The surgery for an arm lift is performed under general anaesthetic and usually takes 1-2 hours. You will spend a night in hospital where you will be monitored and looked after by our expert team.
After surgery, you will wear a compression garment to help control any swelling. You can typically expect to resume light activity within a few days. You will be able to go back to work between three to six weeks, and indulge in strenuous activity after six weeks.
Why have I got Bingo Wings?
There are a variety of reasons your arms may start sagging, including, but not limited to, any combination of the following:
- Substantial changes in weight
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Family history
- Natural ageing
- Dieting
A brachioplasty will leave a scar extending from the armpit to the elbow much like the one shown below.
Arm reduction surgery or arm lift to remove the excess fat and loose skin can help to treat bingo wings.
How much does surgery to remove bingo wings cost?
The investment for an arm lift is approximately £5,000 – £6,000. This includes your surgeon, the procedure and aftercare.
Actual costs vary depending on the Provider Hospital you choose to have your surgery with.
