What happens to the armpit area after lipo? 10 days post breast lift and lipo. (photo)

Thanks for  your question and the photo. Lipo removes fat, but not the skin. It is early in your course and there may be some shrinkage over time as the swelling goes down. If there is too much skin still, it could likely be excised.Best wishes.

You are still very early in the healing process. It is too soon to evaluate final results which can take several months, especially if laser liposuction was utilized.Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended during this time.

Congratulations on your recent surgery and thank you for sharing your question about your post operative recovery and results after your surgery.  Final results can take 6-12 months for all the swelling to subside.  At our office here at CARE we actually see all of our surgery patients the very next day after surgery and then again at two weeks and beyond. We enjoy staying closely connected to our patients and enjoy giving the extra attention and service.  Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon.  He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best.  Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS
