Overview
- Gibson said she had a brachioplasty in March that removed about 45% of tissue from her upper arms as part of treatment for lipoedema.
- Gibson, who posted the new images on July 2, captioned them “Showing off my new arms” and drew widespread praise from fans and celebrity peers.
- She has followed a multi-step recovery plan that she has shared publicly, including bandaging, lymphatic drainage, rented hyperbaric oxygen, supplements, NAD+ and glutathione injections, and at-home exercise.
- The arm surgery follows earlier work on her calves and a reported £7,000 liposuction treatment; Gibson has also previously said she lost around five stone in her wider health journey.
- Medical sources cited in coverage explain that lipoedema is a chronic condition that can resist diet and exercise and that brachioplasty removes excess skin and fat, and reports that the BBC is in talks to cast her on Strictly Come Dancing remain unconfirmed and described as developing.
