I've lost weight from wls, Gastric Sleeve. I seem to have extra skin/fat on the sides of my boobs and under arms. Will having breast surgery take care of the problem or will I need skin removal?

Answer: Side breasts in weight loss patients. First of all let me congratulate you on your courage. I'm sure you love wearing cloths and carry a before photo of yourself (as I do) everywhere you go. But to answer your question an examination is needed. My favorite operation includes a breast lift with fat transfer to the upper pole of the breast along with an extended brachioplast (arm lift) that includes the side breasts, which I call bat wings. See a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of weight loss patients, and have her (or him) connect you to a patient who had a similar operation. You will get a better answer from a patient than from any doctor, because expectations are key. Choose your surgeon carefully and good luck. You have taken the initial courageous step, now go for your dream result and do your homework. Don't rush in and don't decide without seeing many surgeons and liking thier staff.

Answer: Side breast If you have lost a lot of weight, it is most likely skin and fat rolls that is giving you fullness laterally. Hard to say without at least photos.
