Hi I am concerned about the 'armpit fat' or I have seen several things online some people would call an auxiliary breast. I work out frequently, 3-4 times a week. However, this area has been very stubborn and doesn't go away. I don't know if it is because of my breast size, 36C. I'm a college student currently but try to eat healthy on campus.
Answer: Axillary breast tissue most often require surgical excision rather than liposuction alone. The photograph demonstrates axillary breast tissue. All breast tissue is a combination of fat and glandular tissue when the tissue is predominantly fatty it can be substantially reduced by liposuction alone. In my own experience most patients benefit from a combination of liposuction as well as surgical excision.

Answer: Armpit fat or axillary breast tissue? Only an in-person exam can really tell one from the other. Many women have a small pocket of fat in this area that they hate. It tends to bulge over the bra where it compresses the breast tissue. Liposuction issometimes helpful in this case. If physical exam revealed this to be actual breast tissue, then opensurgical excision would be superior to liposuction.

Answer: Armpit fat you've received several different opinions regarding proper treatment for this.In my experience it is rarely necessary to resect extra skin. Liposuction alone should do nicely free you in that area. If it were more lateral actually in the armpit itself then resection is more likely.Certainly there is little harm and starting with a less invasive procedure that is just liposuction.

Answer: Armpit fat or axiliary breast tissue? Your area of concern is likely a combination of fat and breast tissue. Contouring of this area can often be done with liposuction alone although it can take a long time for the swelling and firmness that occurs after lipo to settle down. This is a hard area to compress after surgery. In rare cases, an actual excision may be necessary. You should be evaluated in person by an experienced plastic surgeon.
