I have had muscular arms all my adult life and teenage years and I do not work out, therefore doing nothing will not help. They are quite muscular at the top of my shoulder especially more when I lift my arms up, even slightly, you can see the curve in them. Will botox help to reduce the muscularity? If not, what will help to reduce it and look more feminine?

Answer: Botox for the arms Thank you for your question samp100a. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Botox is also used for other purposes such as relaxing certain muscles no the body. Botox is not indicated for treatment of muscles in the arm. Theoretically, placing Botox in the muscles of the upper arms may reduce the size, but the amount required will be very high given the size of these muscle and the risks for adverse effects will also be significantly higher. I would not recommend such a treatment for my patients. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
