I'm 39 and slim. Bra size is 32D or 34C. My problem is not just my breasts, but loose skin on my back and fat around the armpit- enough to grab. No matter how much I work out, it doesn't go away, and the bra bulges are obvious. I'm hoping to get a breast lift but concerned about solving armpit fat and bulges. Does the armpit fat/extra skin go away with the lift? Or is this a separate procedure the doctor has to do at the same time? Or is this a separate surgery to be done at another time?

Answer: Breast lift No, a breast lift will not address any bulging fat or excess skin in the armpit/back area. Most likely, you will need liposuction and it is best to do as a separate surgery. Make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area (link below) to discuss your options. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Considering breast lift- what happens to the fat in armpit and bra bulge? Thank you for your question. Without a full series of photographs it is difficult to make treatment recommendations. It is unlikely that a breast lift with materially effect either armpit or bra bulge. Axillary folds can be treated with liposuction if your skin quality is good enough to retract back after surgery, otherwise a skin removal procedure would need to be planned. The tissue in the armpit sounds as if you may need more of a skin resection procedure in order to tighten the skin and recreate the "dome" of the armpit. This can be done in isolation or can be part of an upper arm lift. See an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation. They will best be able to offer treatments based on your desired goal outcome.

Answer: Loose skin and excess fat dilemma Hi there and thank you for your question,Your breast lift will not help with your loose skin and excess fat on your back and around your armpit, respectively. Liposuction will reduce the fat volume but only surgical removal of the excess skin will solve the skin side of the equation, and the latter will entail extra scarring.I hope this helps,James

Answer: Bra bulge and uplift Most likely your uplift will not improve the bra bulge and the fat in your armpits, that will need to be addressed with a separate procedure most likely involving liposuction and/or skin excision. Personally I would recommend to deal with this problem at a later stage, after the uplift.
