Reduce fat in upper arms

As well as loose skin in the upper arms, colloquially referred to as bingo wings, the area of sagging tissue beneath the arms can also include excess fat, the weight of which is increasing the gravitational drag downwards and worsening the appearance of the arm. This can be cosmetically dissatisfying and stop women from wearing short sleeves or sleeveless clothing, but also impact on the tightness of sleeves when wearing tops, making clothing uncomfortable. As well as surgical and less invasive non-surgical procedures which can remove or tighten excess skin, other treatments seek to remove excess fat in the under arm, this can be done via physical extraction or using products which help the body to metabolise the fat cells to reduce the fat in the upper arms.
