I have seen many many before and afters of liposuciton to the back of arms or under their arms. My concern is more about my outer arms, the line of the shoulder viewed from the front. I feel like the bulk of them makes me look more masculine. How come I can't seem to find any info about this? Is it harder to do, or just less common?
Answer: Outer arm lipo
This area can certainly be treated with liposuction for a person with a diffusely fatty arm, it's just less common. It's also a little less forgiving than the typical "bat-wing" area underneath the arm.

Answer: Liposuction outer arms
Dear Lily,
Thank you for the question.
If you mean the outer upper part of the arms then yes it is uncommon to only have fat there because underneath is the deltoid muscle. However if there is excess fat in that area liposuction can be performed.
Best of luck...

Answer: Lateral Deltoid Liposuction
As a bodybuilder, I understand the importance of looking a certain way, but the lateral deltoid area may just be a function of your muscularity. This would be hard to determine if liposuction of this area is appropriate without an exam to assess the subcutaneous fat layer overlying the muscle and fascia in this area.

Answer: Arm Lipo Lifts on this famously wobbly part of the human anatomy—known familiarly as “Hi Janes” or “Bingo” arms—are particularly popular. Heavy and even moderately droopy arms can be recountoured very effectively with liposuction. Liposuction modifies volume by sucking out fat and because liposuction stimulates the skin to tighten, good elasticity provides a smooth contour after fat is removed. The procedure takes about an hour, the recovery takes just a couple of days, and there's virtually no scarring. I use several innovative forms of liposuction, including SmartLipo, in order to contour and resculpture the area while providing the most beautiful results with minimal scarring. SmartLipo, used in combination with other forms of liposuction or alone, is a procedure that uses laser light to liquefy fat and tighten the surrounding skin. Liposuction as an outpatient procedure under I.V. sedation can easily reduce the bulge that some people have in their arms.

Answer: Liposuction of Arms A physical examination is necessary to determine the amount of fat and the elasticity of the skin before proposing liposuction as a procedure for contouring the arms. If the fullness of your upper outer arm is from fat (and not muscle) then liposuction could be a possible method to improve the contour to your desire.
