Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). 

• Our arm has many muscles, the main muscles in our upper arm needs to apparently big so that we can lift things.

• I think your arms are flabby and not toned. There are a lot of muscle toning arm exercises. 

• To help with the flabbiness, try stretching exercises as they really work as a magic. This will tone up the muscles that hold everything in, without building up the main ones.

• Stretch your arms as high above your head as you can. Now do the same sideways. Do that three or four times a day and you should see some improvement.

• To be honest, apart from stretching exercises there is nothing much one can do to reduce the flabbiness.

• Also do not cut down your protein intake, as your body needs protein for proper body function. Instead reduce the carbohydrates and fats intake. 

• Another thing is that some people have the body type with prominent arms and shoulder muscles, so they can definitely reduce or shape it by toning the arms.

• Other category of people are those who do heavy weight lift to increase their muscle mass. I do not think you do heavy weight lift  and so it is your body type.

• So, I advise you to start doing toning exercises.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Yes, due to weight gain you are seeing this more prominent muscles.

• Unfortunately there is no medication for reducing muscles.

• Stretching exercises will reduce the muscles, you are not going to lift weights and it will be a gradual process. 

• Decrease your daily caloric intake since excess calories overall can lead to weight gain all over your body, including your arms. 

• Aerobic exercise helps not to build the muscles, so stick to aerobic exercises and stretching.

• Also take a lot of fruits like apple, pear, and seasonal fruits. Avoid eating too many mangoes and banana.
