Abstract
Liposuction is one of the most common esthetic procedures performed in both males and females. High-definition liposuction has become more sought after recently, especially to define the arms and abdominal musculature. This is a case report of high-definition liposuction of the arms to create markings and techniques to obtain a muscular and sculpted appearance of the arms. Between July 2022 and October 2023, 6 patients were selected for high-definition liposuction to bilateral arms. Specific pre-operative markings were made to outline the deltoid, biceps, and triceps. Traditional liposuction with focus on liposculpture of these markings was done to define the muscles of the arms. Results showed that with proper selection, pre-operative markings, and adequate technique of liposculpture, the muscles of the arms can be defined to meet patient expectations and give a more athletic appearance.
