Side boob/chest lipo? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! You could have some lateral chest / axilla liposuction and add a scar revision to tighten the area to prevent the skin from dropping. We would love to sit down with you and discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.

Yes, liposuction can be an effective solution to address the "side boob" or chest fat that remains after a breast reduction. This is a common concern, and liposuction of the lateral chest, underarm (axillary area), and "bra line" can help improve the contour and eliminate the excess fat in these areas. We commonly perform liposuction in combination with breast surgery for this reason.
Liposuction can significantly refine the shape of the breast and upper chest region. However, keep in mind that while liposuction can remove excess fat, it cannot address issues like skin laxity. If loose skin is present, additional procedures such as skin tightening or skin removal may be necessary.
Since you’re still in the process of losing weight, it's often recommended to reach your goal weight before undergoing liposuction to ensure the most stable and lasting results. Consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon will allow for a customized plan to address your concerns and ensure the best outcome.
