As a male my arms are muscular but there's some fat. Some Drs say they'll lipo for more definition. Others say no. Why? (Photo)

I did 2 of these procedures this week.  If the physician doesn't have experience in doing arm contouring of course they will say its not worth it.  You need an examination to see if you are even a candidate.  It apperars from this picture that you have separation between the deltoids, triceps and biceps insertions so its hard to tell if more definition is possible.  An energy based device would be most beneficial and the use of micro, multi-hole cannulas superficially to create shadows and etches where you are looking to obtain more definition.  Adding fat to the shoulders will help make this look more pronounced.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Your arms can be better defined with VASER liposuction. It is not a fat reduction, as in most women's arms, but muscle definition. I prefer to define the deltoid, triceps and sometimes the lower biceps area. The surgeons who say that you "fail" the pinch test, certainly are not familiar with VASER Hi Def liposuction to define the static and dynamic muscle anatomy. When I do VASER hi Def liposculpting on males for the abdomen, back, chest, I always include the arms. See a board certified plastic surgeon trained in this highly advanced body sculpting technique for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

From the photographs I can't tell you anything but if you pinch the skin of the arm and there is an inch or greater between your two fingers liposuction might be of benefit. If not any contour issue is not a problem surplus fat.
