I feel really embarassed about my armpit fat. I am skinny and tall and it is the only area where I have this fat (Photo)

I've been working out like crazy, it has reduced a bit, but is still here (see photos). I am French and realized "armpit fat" was much more discussed in the US, that's why I am asking you. I've seen a plastic surgeon yesterday who confirmed it was fat only, not breast tissue (and was surprised to see so much "local" fat on my skinny body). He said he did not know what to do... I'm desperate :( Do you think a lipo could help? Do you think having breast implants could have an impact? THX
