(I am 24 yo, great health and quite active.) Ever since puberty I've had a lump in my right armpit, it's always been painful to the touch and quite bothersome. I had my right axillary breast tissue examined and it was confirmed to be breast tissue. It gets bigger/smaller depending on weight gain and hormonal factors. It is very painful, big and hard during pregnancy & delivery. I really would love to get it removed! I also have fatty pockets on both armpits which aren't bothersome, just ugly.

Answer: How much would removal of one auxillary breast tissue cost? How much for small Liposuction on fatty armpit area?
Your surgeon probably didn't recommend a garment because it is almost impossible to get good compression in this area. At 5 weeks, you are still swollen. You should discuss your results with your surgeon but expect to wait 6 months from surgery before having any revision. Best wishes.
. Generally, the incisionsWhich are actually small poke holes are of little consequence. After healing is complete. If there is a better place for the incisions from your point of view tell the plastic surgeon and he probably can accommodate that.
Thank you for your picture. I think that your liposuction has produced unevenness that requires revision. I would wait at least 6 months to allow the areas to soften greatly. Then revision liposuction +/- fat grafting can be done to improve your abdominal contour.Earl...
