Armpit fat liposuction or excision cost?

Question

Hi. I am a female with the problem of armpit fat and I am wondering how much it would cost to get liposuction and/or excision in this area? Thank you

Christopher V. Pelletiere, MD · Answer

Many women have issues with excess armpit fat ( often times it is actually accessory breast tissue).  This is usually taken care of easily with some type of liposuction.  I prefer the ultrasonic liposuction since it does the best job of removing the tissue and stimulating the skin to shrink down.  The cost is usually between $1000-$1500.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question, this is a very tricky area.  It would be better to sit down with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your options, this way they have the opportunity to assess the area of your concern.  Usually the consultation is free, or included in the price of your procedure.  It really depends on how much fat you have in that area, and what your expectations are for final results.  Good luck

The cost really depends on the method of treatment and costs also vary greatly amongst surgeons depending on procedure, anesthesia, and facility costs. Seek a consultation from a board-certified plastic surgeon to get an evaluation.

Peter E. Johnson, MD · Answer

The tissue you refer to might be axillary breast tissue. It can be treated with liposuction and if necessary the skin can be redundant and need removal. Cost will vary on the best procedure for you. If we are in your area we are happy to take a look.
