Nexplanon is a flexible birth control implant placed just beneath the skin on the inner side of your non-dominant upper arm. Measuring approximately 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) long and 2 millimeters wide, this small, thin implant is inserted by a trained healthcare provider during a simple, in-office procedure.
