Arm Techniques

Anatomical Distribution of Cellulite in the Arms

Cellulite does not affect the entire arm uniformly. Its distribution follows well-defined anatomical patterns:

  • Posterior upper arm (triceps region)
    → Most commonly affected area, due to vertical fibrous septa and gravitational stress.

  • Lateral upper arm
    → Frequently involved, especially in patients with skin laxity and adipose tissue accumulation.

  • Medial upper arm
    → Less often affected, but may show dimpling when skin flaccidity is pronounced.

  • Anterior upper arm (biceps region)
    → Rarely affected; cellulite in this zone usually indicates generalized involvement or severe grades.
