Asked By:New_Me_80 in NC

41 yr old female. Petite 100 lbs after losing 15-20 lbs. What's the best way to get rid of excess skin at posterior axilla. Plastic surgeon recommended lipo, but I've tried it before with limited results. Lost nearly 20 lbs. since lipo as well and don't think the issue is fat as much as skin. The bulge looks prominent in a bra and fitted tops. I have excess skin on back as well. Plastic surgeon recommended a bra lift excision plus lipo at posterior axilla. Pic is not of me but desired result.
