Do I Need to Have Lipo Done (Near Undarms) with the Breast Reduction?

lauramor65
I will be undergoing breast reduction in July. My MD recommends to have lipo done near the armpits. This entails a greater cost (my reduction is covered by medicare) I would like to know if it is really necessary, how bad will the breasts look without the lipo?
