Discover the exciting rewards of BodyTite™ here, including how it can help give you the slim, smooth, sleek arms you’ve been wanting.

What are Bat Wings?

People may have heard about hiding their bat wings, particularly when choosing what clothing to wear on a warm day. This refers to hanging fat and loose skin on the upper arms, creating a sagging, flabby look. Some of the most frequent causes of loose skin on the arms include:

  • Extreme weight loss
  • Increasing Age
  • Genetics/heredity
  • Hormonal condition

Conventional liposuction and/or surgical arm lift (Brachioplasty) were the only reliable treatment options for reducing hanging arm skin and stubborn fat. However, arm lift surgery can be extensive, requiring a lengthy recovery period and visible, prominent scarring. Luckily, the development of BodyTite™ by InMode has revolutionized the arm tightening process. It allows patients to achieve slimmer, firmer, more attractive arms without needing visible scarring or extended downtime.

Can BodyTite™ Reduce Bat Wings?

BodyTite™ is an FDA-approved treatment option for tightening loose skin and removing fat in one step. During BodyTite, which can be performed under local anaesthesia, Dr Ching will make a tiny cut in the arm over the area to be treated. The BodyTite applicator is then introduced. Next, radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) is performed to dislodge and melt stubborn fat cells. This makes them easier to remove than with normal liposuction. Simultaneously, the heat-based energy delivered to the area will stimulate tissue remodelling and skin tightening for stunning, visible improvements. Sometimes, a series of BodyTite treatments will be required to achieve your desired outcome.

Patients must wear a compression garment for 2-4 weeks after the procedure to reduce swelling and assist with arm contouring. The results are further enhanced by using Velashape in the post-operative period to tighten skin further.

Do I need an arm lift or BodyTite™?

BodyTite™ offers many l compelling benefits for patients seeking an alternative to extensive plastic surgery, including:

  • It can be performed under local anaesthesia
  • Quicker recovery than cosmetic surgery
  • Virtually no visible scarring
  • Typically more affordable than extensive surgical procedures
  • Offers stunning, long-lasting results

However, patients with significant hanging skin or pronounced skin laxity may be better suited for a conventional arm lift and/or liposuction to correct bat wings. During your first consultation for BodyTite™, Dr Ching will assess your remaining skin elasticity, evaluate the severity of your concerns, discuss your best result, and decide whether a minimally invasive BodyTite™ or traditional arm lift may be most suitable.

Shed your sleeves and feel self-confident about your arms with BodyTite™ skin tightening and fat removal at Precision Aesthetics.
