“My husband couldn’t believe his eyes when he took me shopping and I bought a sleeveless top, which would have been unthinkable before my surgery!”
What motivated you to consider Arm Lift?
My drooping bingo wings have been a source of great distress for me ever since the birth of my eldest son a decade ago. After my first pregnancy, and indeed with all three pregnancies that followed, I put a lot of weight on.
While I was able to lose my baby weight from most of my body, the tops of my arms remained stubbornly flabby despite regular exercise and dieting. I'm not a vain person but I've been really depressed about my arms for many years.
My flappy 'bat arms' were really difficult to hide and it's always had a great impact on my self-esteem and my ability to enjoy things that many people would take for granted. I didn't like going shopping and had to buy clothes that fitted my arms rather than my body. I wouldn't wear sleeveless tops, go swimming or even wave to friends, as my arms would jiggle about so much – it made me so anxious.
It got to the stage where my arms would make me feel sick every time I looked in the mirror. I decided arm lift surgery was the only way I was going to achieve the slender upper arms that I desired.
I did plenty of research into the procedure and surgeons who specialise in arm lifts – I wanted to make sure I had as much information to hand as possible. During my research I came across Amir Nakhdjevani and Bella Vou; I watched videos of Amir on YouTube, read reviews by people in a similar situation to myself, and I was very impressed and encouraged by what I saw.
I decided to book a consultation with Amir to discuss my options in more detail and I'm so glad I did! Amir is such a reassuring surgeon, from the moment I stepped into his office he was courteous and professional, but he was clearly confident in his abilities and he was sure he could do something to dramatically improve the appearance of my arms.
The most reassuring thing was to hear that I was not alone, that there was a surgical procedure that could correct the problem and that it was OK and perfectly understandable for me to want to do something about it. Amir was also very honest about the surgery, and took time to explain the scarring and recovery times that I should expect. After talking things through with Amir he asked me to think things over and after a couple of weeks' contemplation I decided to book in for the surgery.

I had a breast augmentation at Bella Vou 4 weeks ago and I am ecstatic with my results, the scars are so neat and tidy, I am healing so well. The surgeons, nursing staff and everyone who assisted me on my journey were amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get surgery. Best decision I have ever made. Thank you!

I have had 3 procedures now with Amir and I can honestly say, after having several cosmetic surgery with top plastic surgeons up and down the UK and in Poland, Amir is the best surgeon, my reasons why, professionalism, precise, skills are attention to detail and finesse is phenomenal.
★★★★★
Absolutely wonderful experience with Amir. I’m so happy I chose to go ahead with my procedure with BellaVou. My scars are barely visible and the customer service is incredible. I’ve had nothing but complements, and I feel much more confident. 10/10! Amir made me feel completely at ease, I didn’t feel nervous at all.

Whilst recovering I received a fantastic hamper of fresh fruit, biscuits and tea from Bella Vou! I am 2 weeks into my healing process and things are healing nicely. After 2 days rest, I was up and about doing my normal day to day things. I would highly recommend Bella Vou they are fantastic!

Dr Amir & Nurse Jill made me feel at ease immediately. I couldn’t believe that throughout I was talking and laughing with Amir and Jill about all kinds of subjects. I would highly recommend Dr Amir & his team, nothing was too much trouble. The ambience in the clinic is so calming and the procedure was swift whilst each part of the process explained thoroughly.

The lip filler has been a perfect temporary solution for me and I absolutely love the look of having fuller lips. Bella Vou were excellent and really eased some of my concerns and for the first time, I really love my lips.

I honestly couldn’t be happier. I never thought I would love myself again and I already am in love with my new body. If you have any hesitation- go and see Amir at Bella Vou and I’m sure he can make your dreams come true.

Three weeks on from my procedures, from the front, you cannot even tell that I have had anything done. There is no scarring visible at all. Behind my ears are slightly red but they are healing beautifully. When I look at the work of other surgeons who are lauded on here, there really is no comparison with the excellence of Amir’s work.
★★★★★
Thank You very much to the Bella Vou Team for everything I am so grateful. I am really excited about the future and am most grateful to Bella Vou for a great job. I have already experimented with the shops and found a big smile on my face when trying outfits on for my daughter’s wedding!

From the first consultation, Amir made me feel completely at ease, answered any questions I had for him and, him and his team acted very professionally. I had gynecomastia surgery and was very concerned about it, especially the recovery time. I was reassured that I would recover very quickly and, true to his word, I was back at work within 5 days with no pain and great results!!

Amir is an amazing surgeon, after having botched surgery 7 years ago and never feeling happy with my result, I went to Amir who was very professional explained that he will correct but not to expect a miracle and that is what he did, my body no longer looks saggy and old, he has made me love my body again, I’m so pleased with the result and have already recommended Amir to two of my friends.

I’ve had a re-occurring shoulder injury for the past 4-5 years, after my very first session with Nikki I noticed a big difference in pain reduction & mobility. After five more sessions, I don’t have any pain & I am able to train as hard as I like without any limitations. I would highly recommend Nikki to anyone.

Bella Vou was not my first choice but after a friend recommended going, I did. To say it was a pleasant experience would not be exaggerating. The whole clinic staff we friendly and helpful. They made me feel they were generally interested in me and what I had come to have done. I would definitely go back.
