Is my rear armpit fat worth spending $2500 to lipo during breast reduction? (Photo)

September 19, 2020
Asked By:MsNimbles in Jacksonville, FL

I am scheduled for a breast reduction with front armpit lipo in a few months. The front armpit lipo is covered under the procedure bit I will still be paying about $5500. I am 5'3" and about 145lbs, going from 36G to hopefully a large B/Small C. I am considering additional lipo (out of pocket) for $2500, for the fat just behind my armpit. It's always been there. My weight does not fluctuate drastically, is that area worth spending that much money on aesthetically? Is it likely to grow back?
