About this
Service

People with loose or saggy skin in the upper arm area due to ageing, weight loss, or other factors can benefit from an arm lift surgery. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper arms and tightening the remaining skin for a more toned and contoured appearance. The scar usually lies on the inside or back of the arm so that it is discreet. The arm lift procedure is often done in conjunction with other body contouring procedures to achieve a more complete and balanced body shape. Liposuction can also be added adjunct with an arm lift.

Vaser

VASER stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. It is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) technology used in cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. VASER liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that targets and removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. During VASER liposuction, Professor Hindocha makes small incisions in the targeted area and inserts a probe that emits ultrasound waves. These ultrasonic waves specifically target and break down the fat cells while leaving other tissues, such as blood vessels and nerves, largely unaffected. The liquefied fat is then suctioned out through a cannula, resulting in a smoother contour and improved body shape.
