The Cranley Clinic Process

Consultation & Planning

You’ll meet with a senior consultant in a calm, judgement-free environment. We’ll explore your concerns, assess your suitability, and explain every aspect of the procedure and recovery in detail.

Pre-Operative Preparation

We’ll ensure you feel confident and informed, with clear instructions ahead of surgery and dedicated support at every stage.

The Procedure

The procedure is carried out in our fully equipped theatre, typically taking around two hours. Incisions are placed strategically along the inner arm for minimal visibility.

Recovery & Aftercare

Most clients return home the same day. Compression garments may be worn for support, and our nursing team is on hand to support your healing.

Follow-up and Results

You’ll attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress and optimise healing. Results continue to refine over several months, revealing a firmer, more youthful shape.

Clinical Insight

Brachioplasty Considerations, Clinically Addressed

Will there be visible scarring?

Yes, there will be a scar along the inner arm, though our surgeons take great care to place this discreetly. Scarring typically fades well over time.

Is the procedure painful?

Discomfort is mild to moderate and usually well-managed with oral pain relief. Most clients are able to move comfortably within a few days.

Will skin sagging return over time?

If weight remains stable, results are long-lasting. However, natural ageing and weight fluctuations can gradually affect skin tone.

Can I combine this with other procedures?

Yes. Arm lifts are sometimes performed alongside liposuction or body contouring procedures as part of a full post-weight-loss plan.

The treatment I had at the Cranley Clinic was excellent. Mr Ali Ghanem is clearly an expert in his field. He also has an exceptionally warm personality which puts you at ease straight away. The treatment is amazing but subtle. Everyone on the Cranley team, whom I met and spoke with at various times, were really lovely; I can highly recommend both the Clinic and of course Mr Ghanem.
