When may Arm Definition not be suitable?

Arm definition is a precise body contouring procedure designed to reduce localized fat around the arms and reveal natural muscle lines for a more refined, balanced appearance.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

The procedure may not be appropriate, or may need to be postponed, when:

• There is significant loose skin, as fat removal alone may not provide the desired contour.
• Weight is substantially above the target range or fluctuating significantly.
• Underlying muscle tone is limited, reducing the potential for visible definition.
• Uncontrolled medical conditions or bleeding/healing disorders increase surgical risk.
• Expectations involve an extreme muscular appearance that does not match the patient's anatomy.

INDICATIONS

Arm definition may be suitable for patients who:

• Have localized arm fat that persists despite exercise and weight management.
• Are close to a stable weight and seek contour improvement rather than major weight loss.
• Have sufficient underlying muscle tone for definition to be visible.
• Have reasonably good skin elasticity that can adapt after fat removal.
• Want a more refined arm shape without extensive skin excision.
