Emily J. Kirby, MD · Answer

Generalized fitness is a good idea at age 13.  I do not recommend any cosmetic treatments at that age.  Get active with physical fitness to burn more calories throughout the day, incorporate weight lifting to tone the muscles and decrease food intake.  You should see some results in no time!

Thank you for taking the time to research this problem and look for answers. The fullness in your armpit is quite common and is almost always a little clump of breast tissue that has to be surgically removed. Liposuction is of no benefit. It may be a good thing to do someday but not for at least 10 more years.
