It is diffiuclt to say what you are feeling. You are right, sometimes you do not always feel lipomas underneath the skin and perhaps liposuction "unroofed" it. It would have to be evaluated in person
When you go into your surgeon's office for a consultation, you will be advised if breast reduction via liposuction is right for you. It depends on your breasts and while it may be great for some women, it may leave breasts saggy on others.
