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 VASERlipo 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.
