I Have Fat Under Each Arm Pit. How Can I Get Rid of Them?

The treatment of pre axillary
folds is dependent upon the cause of the problem. In some cases, it may be
secondary to excess fat. Under these circumstances, the fat bulges outward from
the edge of the patient bra and is very noticeable. In other cases, the bulge may actually be secondary to accessory breast tissue. When
this situation occurs, the size of the mass may fluctuate with the menstrual
cycle.

The treatment of pre axillary
folds is dependent upon the cause of the condition. Although your pictures
illustrate the problem, they aren’t helpful in determining the actual cause of
the condition. This usually requires a physical exam. During physical
examination, breast tissue will be noted to be firmer and more fibrous than
fatty tissue.

When fatty tissue is encountered
in the pre axillary region, liposuction will often provide correction of the
problem. When breast tissue is encountered in this area, more aggressive
procedures are usually necessary. In most cases, surgical resection of the
tissue will prove to be necessary.

If you’re concerned about pre
axillary folds, consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is
appropriate. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that’s
appropriate for your problem.

Thank you for your question.  While it is somewhat difficult to determine without a photograph, liposuction is likely an excellent option for you for the removal of fat from the underarm region.  In some extreme cases, we recommend direct excision of the fat, along with any accompanying excess skin.  I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation.

There are A LOT of women that complain of this and I have found Lipo works great in almost all cases. The most common area is the front part of the armpit that kind of squishes out of the top side of the bra and again, Lipo does great in this spot!!!
