(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.

. 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...

Most operations where there is bilateral treatment has some asymmetry of healing. Usually this does not amount to anything but still should be reported to your surgeon.

I don't really see the advantage of gaining weight to enhance the benefits of liposuction. If excess fat exists at your present weight That would be improved by liposuction I see no reason not to proceed.
