Josie Gibson's Arm Surgery: 45% Removed!

TV presenter Josie Gibson, aged 41, has disclosed that she underwent both liposuction and an arm lift to address lipoedema. She recently had brachioplasty surgery, a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the upper arm. This operation, which involved removing 45% of her arm, was performed by surgeon Paul Tulley.

Gibson shared on social media that she is recovering well, feeling "really good" only a week after the surgery. She explained that the lipoedema affects her arms, causing her to feel self-conscious in certain clothing. The procedure, performed under general anaesthetic, typically takes one to two hours and requires four to six weeks of restricted heavy lifting.

Despite the significant amount of arm removed and the temporary restriction on daily activities like taking out the bins, Gibson expressed gratitude for having the procedure done. She is scheduled to have her bandages removed in London the following week and plans to update her followers, thanking her surgeon and lymphatic drainage specialist.
