Sometimes even regular exercise (such as yoga, Pilates or weight training) cannot get rid of the excess skin that develops under the arm. If the underside of your uppers arms are sagging and appear loose due to excess skin and fat, arm lift surgery, or brachioplasty, might be right for you.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, arm lifts are among the four most popular plastic surgery procedures performed. For people who have lost a significant amount of weight, the soft tissue of the arm becomes droopy, resulting in “bat wings.” Even thin people may have sagging of the upper arms due to the natural process of aging or simply genetics.
