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

Asked By:yoga123 in North Carolina, NC

Eleven days ago, I had a mastopexy and lipo in the armpit area. At the end of the surgery, my doctor placed a 3in wide elastic band around my chest, to apply pressure on this area and said I could remove it after 24hours. Now that much of the swelling has gone down, the fatty bulge is significantly smaller than it was pre-op, but I now have loose skin that still pokes out the side of my bra. Should I have had the skin excised, too? I am hoping that there is still room for improvement.
