Brachioplasty has become one of the fastest-growing cosmetic procedures performed today, with more than 15,000 women who underwent an arm lift in 2012, an increasing more than 4000% since 2000. This procedure addresses sagging skin on the lower part of the upper arm, which is often referred to as “bat wings.” Bat wings may appear as a normal part of the aging process, but is more frequently seen in individuals who have lost a great deal of weight in a relatively short period of time. Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, removes excess skin in the area, leaving a leaner, more tones appearance to the upper arm.
