What you have is axillary breast tissue which is present to some degree in many women. This tissue often becomes apparent only during pregnancy and breast feeding. Axillary breast tissue can be very annoying and can be removed sometimes with just liposuction but often requires actual excision...
It is difficult to tell what is causing the lumps. There is sometimes some scar tissue that can form at about the time frame that you suggest. It also depends on the type of lipo that you have had. I used to use the Body Jet but found that it may possibly overinflate the platysma muscle and...
