Hi, I am trying to understand the difference between what one Dr. calls that lateral chest, another calls the outer chest, the axillae, etc. I am seeking to understand that, so I can have a better understanding of what areas will be worked on, and what exactly will be left alone. Is this also something I can understand from the "sharpie," markings during a pre op? A diagram would be seriously helpful either way. Thanks very much!

Patience my dear. It is absolutely normal to be experiencing swelling and bruising for sometimes a few months. The best way to decrease the swelling and have a quicker recovery is to wear constant compression.
Yes liposuction of these ares gives an amazing appearance to the buttock and repositioning on the fat with injecitons to the buttock and hips can give the rounded and lifted appearance without increasing the size much. please only go to an expert in body shaping. Best, Dr. Emer.
Although it is possible to experience some numbness, or other altered sensations, after liposuction, most often this resolves over the course of the first few months. Rarely, it may require a full year for return to normal. Best regards.
