I this annoying axillary fat, don't know if it's breast tissue, but I want to know if I can have liposuction done to it.

Question

Thomas S. Taylor, FACS · Answer

This is a common problem among women and most find it very annoying. Fortunately it is easy to fix and it can be done in the office under local anesthesia very simply.  Most of the time simple liposuction will fully take care of it. Sometimes though, the surgery may require an excision of excess skin and underlying thicker breast tissue if liposuction can't remove it all.  You will need a consultation and examination to figure out the best approach. I hope this helps!Thomas Taylor, MD, FACSPasadena, CA

This area does very well with liposuction if it is not loose skin.  Please see an expert for a consultation, someone who is an expert in 4D HI DEFINITION contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello,You would need to be examined. If it is firm, it's not fat, and you would need an armpit incision that and direct excision of breast tissue. If it's soft, it's fat, and it can be liposuctioned.Bests of luck!

I have treated many of these with liposuction with amazing results.  It is almost all the time fat and can be removed with liposuction.  The procedure in my hand is 15 minutes and cost is around $800
