Some patients develop severely loose skin of the upper arms. This is sometimes referred to as "bat wings." Removing the excess skin along the inner aspect of the arm, from just above the elbow extending into the axilla ("armpit'), can treat this problem. The surgical procedure usually takes between 2-3 hours with a recuperation time of 1-2 weeks.
