What is Brachioplasty?
Brachioplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms. It is recommended for individuals who have lost weight or experienced reduced skin elasticity due to aging, resulting in a sagging or “bat wing” appearance. This surgery restores a firmer, more toned arm contour while improving overall silhouette and personal comfort. At VenArt Clinic, each brachioplasty is customized to fit your anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Brachioplasty
- Improved arm contour and firmness;
- Removal of sagging skin and localized fat;
- Boosted self-confidence and comfort in daily activities;
- Visible, natural-looking results that last.
Ideal candidates for Brachioplasty
- Individuals with sagging skin after significant weight loss;
- Those experiencing skin laxity due to the aging process;
- Patients committed to a stable weight and healthy lifestyle;
- Individuals without medical conditions that could impair healing.
How much does Brachioplasty cost?
We understand the importance of clarity and transparency. At VenArt Clinic, we offer:
- Assessment: Schedule a consultation to receive an accurate price tailored to your case;
- Value: Enjoy top-tier care and aesthetic results at competitive costs.
What happens before, during, and after Brachioplasty?
Before arm lift
- Avoid smoking and alcohol at least 2 weeks prior;
- Follow a balanced diet to support recovery;
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications as instructed;
- Align your expectations through a comprehensive consultation.
At VenArt clinic
- Initial Consultation: We assess your health, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalized approach to your plastic surgery procedure;
- Surgical Procedure: Performed under general anesthesia, involving removal of excess fat and skin, typically lasting 1–3 hours.
After arm lift
- Wear a compression garment to manage swelling and promote healing;
- Avoid intense physical activity for 4–6 weeks;
- Take prescribed medication to reduce discomfort and prevent infection;
- Attend regular follow-up visits to monitor progress.
Risks of Brachioplasty and how we minimize them
While brachioplasty is generally safe, it carries potential risks, including:
- Infection: Can occur at the incision site but is treatable with antibiotics;
- Bleeding or hematoma: Rare, may require drainage if persistent;
- Visible scarring: May occur despite careful incision placement;
- Numbness or altered sensation: Usually temporary, but may persist in rare cases;
- Asymmetry: Small differences in shape or size between arms post-surgery;
- Anesthesia-related complications: Mild nausea or rare allergic reactions;
- Seroma formation: Fluid accumulation under the skin, possibly requiring drainage;
- Delayed healing: More common in smokers or patients with underlying conditions;
- Unsatisfactory results: May require corrective adjustments in rare cases.
Minimizing risks
- Choose a certified plastic surgeon with experience in body contouring;
- Follow all pre- and post-operative instructions carefully;
- Maintain open communication with your surgical team.
When performed in a specialized center like VenArt Clinic, brachioplasty offers predictable results and a high level of patient satisfaction.

A team of professionals. Very satisfied with all the services Thank you Dr Dragoș Vălean

Definitely a professional clinic and team, especially Dr. Dragoș Vălean, who operated and treated me. I definitely recommend it.

I was operated on by Dr. Dragoș Vălean for varicose veins in both legs in November 2024, and the experience was remarkable. Thanks to the professionalism and warmth with which I was treated, the recovery was extremely fast, and in December I was able to return to training without any problems. I had an impeccable intervention, and the post-operative discomfort was minimal, which demonstrates both the expertise of the doctor and the care given to the patients. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for everything and recommend him with the utmost confidence!

Thanks to everyone who made the intervention a success. An exceptional doctor, Dr. Vălean Dragoș, who did more than was his job to do, without giving the feeling that he was sacrificing himself or expecting any other reward than success. 💜

From the very beginning, from the first consultation to the post-operative consultation, Mr. Doctor Dragoș Vălean behaved and managed the situation like a true professional. While I collaborated with Mr. Dr. Dragoș Vălean, I noticed not only an expert doctor in his field but also a true human being, empathetic, sympathetic in other words, a good doctor, a good man. His human side and the professionalism with which Mr. Dr. Dragoș Vălean works together with his team, take the specialization and the field in which he works to the level of art. You remain with this feeling even after going through an intervention that I also went through, more precisely, the ligation of the saphenous vein cross by endovenous thermal ablation and the removal of large dilated varicose veins. I went through this whole process very easily thanks to the good organization of Mr. Dr. Dragoș Vălean. After the post-operative intervention, 2 hours later I walked home on my own, and I felt so good that I did not need a painkiller. And after the check-up done at 1 month, everything is very good, the saphenous vein is closed, the procedure is successful and the leg looks good and my condition is good. I thank Dr. Dragoș Vălean once again for the medical art he performed on me.

It took my mother a long time to decide that it was time to undergo surgical treatment for varicose ulcers, especially after hearing about many suboptimal results of surgeries performed by other doctors. Finally, the time has come! I chose Dr. Dragos Valean because I saw many positive reviews about him. A few days ago, he performed endovenous radiofrequency ablation on my mother. Everything went excellently. The intervention was performed under general anesthesia. Approximately 2 hours after the intervention, she was able to leave the clinic on her feet, without any pain or discomfort. Now that she has taken this step, my mother would recommend this type of intervention to anyone, and especially the doctor. In addition to being a professional, he is empathetic, he thinks about the possibilities of each patient, without putting his own benefit first. He has a developed sense of humor, which makes the consultations seem more comfortable. For now, we are a few days post-operative. I look forward to coming back in 1 month with another positive feedback. Until then, we appreciate the work he does and recommend him to anyone. Here I am after one month! The ulcer has healed. Venous EcoDoppler after a month confirmed again the closure of the vein and the success of the procedure. Thank you, Dr. Dragos Valean!

On this occasion, I would like to thank once again Mr. Dr. Dragos Valean and the Venart CJ team for the professionalism, seriousness and transparency they demonstrated in the treatment of varicose veins in the left lower limb. More than 1 month after the surgical intervention (endovenous ablation Vnus Closure) I can say that this was a real success, both from a therapeutic, aesthetic and postoperative recovery point of view. I confess all this after suffering a relapse after a first intervention, performed in an erroneous way from my perspective, about 10 years ago at a clinic in Oradea. I recommend to all of you who read this review to turn with confidence to the Venart team to benefit from this help that can be offered to you in the treatment of varicose veins using the latest procedures and medical technologies, all so that we can all enjoy a healthy and normal life. Good health! Remus.

I had surgery with Dr. Catana Iuliu for a deviated septum and I am very happy with the result. A special doctor, professional, experienced, open to communication, and together with Mr. Andrei Cismas they do a wonderful job. All my fears about the surgery disappeared with the meeting with the doctor, I am very afraid when it comes to doctors and hospitals, but I took courage and made the decision. I had no pain and everything went very well, so much so that I can't believe I had the surgery. I recommend him to those who are thinking about having this surgery, to go without fear, I am in the hands of an exceptional doctor. I was pleasantly impressed by the entire staff of the Venart clinic!

I had an intervention at the clinic and I can only note the exceptional conditions, hygiene and professional approach of the entire staff with whom I interacted. Everything went beyond expectations from pre-operative to post-operative support. "Suma cum laude" for the professionalism and empathy shown by Dr. Catana. Following the surgical intervention, which was not at all simple, my life was changed in the true sense of the word. The doctor "did his magic", so everything went beyond my expectations, considering that I was having my first surgical intervention with general anesthesia in my life. I did not feel any pain, the healing process was quick and easy and I received all the information & pre- and post-operative support. He is the only specialist I have met so far who investigates the conditions/deficiencies of the nose as a whole, including the valve and cartilage. The intervention, in my case, had an exclusively functional purpose, however, inherent with harmonious aesthetic consequences. Thanks to Dr. Catana Iuliu, Dr. Andrei Cișmaș for the general anesthesia preparation, Ms. Maria, the nurse, for all the care, and the ladies at the reception for the administrative support!

I highly recommend Dr. Iuliu Cătană. I had a septoplasty and turbinoplasty surgery and the results are very good. The procedure was explained to me in advance, I was informed about the entire process, I was communicated with openly and amicably, I felt relaxed before the procedure. The surgery went well, from waking up from anesthesia to discharge it was 6 hours. The doctor was present minutes after waking up to see how I was feeling, to explain how everything went and to instruct me on the evolution of the next hours. I have been breathing through my nose since the moment I woke up, after 12 years of difficulty breathing... A few hours later I received another visit from Dr. Iuliu Cătană, where I received the instructions and prescriptions in writing and he explained the entire healing process to me once again. I left with a "high five" after the surgery. I had very little bleeding and minimal discomfort, compared to the information I heard on the Internet and from acquaintances. After 7 days, I returned to the doctor to remove the splinters from my nose, a quick and high-impact procedure. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and after receiving instructions until the next check-up, I returned home where I fully resumed my activity. I highly recommend calling Dr. Iuliu Cătană for ENT problems! He works wonders, day after day.

Friendly staff and great professionalism. My mother (62 years old) had a minimally invasive varicose vein procedure (unilateral endovenous thermal ablation) in February performed by Dr. Dragoș Vălean, who was very patient and friendly, explained the options we had and what the procedure entailed. The recovery was easy, without pain, inflammation or other problems. I highly recommend it!

I want to say that three weeks ago I had breast surgery, I opted for augmentation because I had a complex that I had very small breasts. Doctor Filip Florin is a top-notch doctor, I'm not saying that the nurses are also very nice, which is something you don't expect these days, a very nice staff, the doctor is on point, and the clinic is quite clean ❤️❤️❤️ The only thing that ruins it is the cleaning lady, she is very insistent, which is what got me out of my head, otherwise it definitely deserves the 5 stars ❤️❤️❤️ I highly recommend it 🥰🥰🥰

I made about 8 trips to Bucharest in an attempt to get rid of varicose veins in my legs, I went through a traumatic experience at the so-called "largest private hospital in the country" where I ended up on the operating table and my surgery was canceled, I didn't solve anything and I wasted time and money, I had already resigned myself to the idea that I would live like this for the rest of my life, that is until I spoke to the people at Venart. The people understood my problems, I sent them all the medical documents on WhatsApp and the 2nd day they called me to confirm that they could help me. I made an appointment for the surgery, and everything went very well, although I was still skeptical. For those with vascular problems, I recommend with all my confidence Dr. Rene Milleret, a celebrity in the field and a consummate professional. Thousands of thanks to the people at Venart, Dr. Milleret as well as the anesthesiologist Dr. Irina Luca!+0

My husband was operated on for a rather serious varicose ulcer at the beginning of June by Dr. Dragoș Valean, we are very satisfied with the services offered by the clinic and the professionalism of the doctor is far beyond the 5 stars offered. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Valean for what you did for my husband. I confidently recommend the services offered by the clinic and I especially recommend Dr. Dragoș Valean.

I was in this clinic where I was operated on by Dr. Rene Milleret, the steam method, for a post-traumatic varicose ulcer that had not healed for a long time. The operation had an immediate effect, in a few days the wound closed and remained that way permanently. Before I had the operation in this clinic, I was in Bucharest where another doctor removed my great saphenous vein, which was not beneficial for me at all. I was lucky that I found out about Dr. Rene Milleret who also solved my condition and what the other doctor destroyed.

Good evening. My name is Calabrese Andra, and a year ago, more precisely on 02/14/2019 I had an intervention at the Ven Art Cluj-Napoca clinic (varicose vein treatment - steam method). This clinic from my point of view deserves 5 SUPERIOR STARS for: innovative methods, professionalism and seriousness of the team. In this way, I would like to thank Doctor VALEAN DRAGOS IULIU and the entire team for all the trust and seriousness given. Today, 02/14/2020, it is exactly one year since the intervention and I really wanted to write this review with the idea that I can help other people who have the same problem that I had. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything and I hope that this information will be shared as much as possible!
