Arms you’re comfortable to show

Many people are self conscious of their arms, and in particular, the shape and amount of skin towards the upper part of the arms. Adnova Clinic provides brachioplasty to enhance the appearance of the upper arms, acting as a solution to sagging and loose skin.

What happens during a Brachioplasty

Under general anaesthetic, an incision is made (typically along the inner side of the upper arm) to grant access to the skin and fat below. Once any excess has been removed, the remaining skin is pulled taut and sutured to create a firmer aesthetic look. During the surgery, the underlying tissues of the arms are also tightened to enhance the desired contour. This is achieved by using sutures to reshape and redistribute the remaining tissue, resulting in a more natural and proportional arm appearance.

For some patients a minimal scar approach is possible through the use of VASER and RENUVION, your surgeon will discuss this option with you if appropriate for you.

Brachioplasty Before and After

What causes excessive skin around the arms?

Loose and sagging skin around the upper arms can be a source of unhappiness for many. This is a common condition that’s often caused by ageing, weight loss, or patient-specific factors that might result in excess arm skin. Regardless of the cause, excessive skin on the arms can cause chafing and discomfort when moving. Our expert surgeons can provide lasting relief through a brachioplasty.

Aftercare for Brachioplasty surgery

At Adnova Clinic, we provide complete aftercare for all our surgical procedures to improve the quality of patient experience and help make sure the surgery achieves the best results possible. For brachioplasty, compressing bandages are used  from the armpits down to the wrists. This is essential to reduce swelling and reduce the risk of injury and support the incisions.

I can't recommend Doctor Durrant enough. After spending a decade with servere Diastasis Recti I needed to do something about it. Doctor Durrant was highly professional and honest. His sergical skills has brought me comfort and confidence in my body shape once again. The clinic team have been very professional and understanding. The procedure was all within one day and home in the afternoon. Care instructions and medication were given so that I could manage at home. Thank you

I had wanted to have a tummy tuck for the last 8 years as three 9lb+ babies had left me with severe muscle separation and no matter how hard I worked in the gym nothing changed and it just left me disheartened and not really bothering. I was terrified of having a general anaesthetic so didn’t think I would ever be brave enough to go through with it but after seeing Charles page on Instagram and how amazing his results were I just thought I would go for a consultation and see. From the initial consultation with Charles I knew I was in safe hands and really liked how down to earth he was for such a top surgeon. The care I received from everyone at Adnova was exceptional. The anaesthetist was calm and supportive when I explained how nervous I was, but everyone created such a calm environment (especially nurse Kerry telling me she would hold my hand whilst I went to sleep) that I honestly woke up feeling like the whole thing was a positive experience. The care afterwards was exceptional and all the follow ups with the dressings and scar management. Charles, this is honestly the best decision I have ever made, I just wish I had done it years ago. The results are better than I ever imagined you have changed my life (and my back as I no longer suffer with lower back pain) and I have found my love for exercise again and feeling stronger than ever.
