I've consulted with a couple of ps's and they say that my rolls are more loose skin than fat and lipo would just make it worse. I'm not willing to have large scars so cutting them off is not an option ("bra lift"?). What are my best options for removing the bra rolls as well as loose skin on triceps and muffin-top?
