I am 20 years old and I have really bad bingo wings. It really affects my life as I will not go out without a long-sleeved top on. Is there anything that can be done?
‘Bingo
wings’ or
excess skin
on the upper
arms is not
an uncommon problem following significant weight loss. Classic bingo wings have significant excess skin but minimal subcutaneous tissue/fat.
Upper arm reduction surgery (brachioplasty) is an effective way
of dealing with the excess skin and tissue. Usually the procedure is performed under general anaesthetic.
The procedure involves
excision of the excess skin and
satisfaction with the procedure is
high when performed for the right
indications. Liposuction is also performed if indicated
