Liposuction can help diminish the extra tissue on the side of your breasts. This area is typically fibrous so I recommend liposuction with laser or power-assisted to help break down these areas.
My breasts seem to be moving toward my arm pits. I am 60 so they are pretty flabby, I wear a 34D bra, but it is very hard to find bras that fit well because I pooch out in the sides in most bras.
Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to be bigger, just take out that side fat. Would liposuction work for me?

I have found that older individuals with loose skin benefit most from skin excision. Lipo alone in my experience is good for a small proportion of individuals with good skin tone and small fat deposits. The other cause for a bulge in that area is accessory breast tissue, which in my opinion needs... more
Yes, it can. The area you are referring to is actually the tail of the breast gland (aka the Axillary tail of Spence, in Medicalese). Depending on its size and content it may well be flattened with liposuction. Liposuction will remove fat but not suction breast gland tissue NOR will it flatten very loose skin.... more
Liposuction can help areas of bulky fatty tissue. The area outside yoru bra or in the lateral chest folds certainly can be treated. This is usually done as an outpatient.
Liposuctioning for the outer breast area under the arms is a good choice but is not 100%. SSometimes there is too much skin there and you will still get the skin overlap. The only other thing you can do is some type of skin removal procedure.
Yes, liposuction around the breasts and the armpit area is very popular. The procedure can be performed while you are asleep in the operating room or as an office procedure. We have had very nice results through a single 2 mm incision in your armpit crease to remove the bulging. Good... more
Many women have fullness or bulges in the area between their upper outer breast and armpit area. Often times this is a combination of breast tissue and fatty tissue. Liposuction will only work if it's predominantly fatty tissue, as you can't suction out breast tissue. The skin must be of good... more
It is hard to know exactly what you mean by these pooches but often as women age, they develop looseness of the tissues around the outside of the chest from the lateral breast to the back. This fatty and mobile loose tissue can cause bulges and unsightly contouring when wearing a bra. It is difficult to... more
Liposuction does really nice to reduce the fatty deposits that so many women get on the lateral aspects of their breasts and around the arm pit areas. It is done under local anesthesia and with a quick recovery time of 2 days back to work. Cost is roughly $4000 and so worth it.
This pooch is from fat accumulated in the tail of the breast. Fat around the arm pit area both in the back and in the front likes to hang over the edge of the bra. This does not look great and it can also be irritating. Liposuction can be effective in reducing this volume effect. However, before you have... more
