I am a 26 yr old living in Seattle, WA with hopes of getting rid of my axillary breast tissue - for good. I've had this "fat or tissue" since I was about 4 years old. Exercise doesn't seem to help, which is why I'm almost certain it's not just "armpit fat". I'm looking forward to having this done. What is the typical price range for this procedure? Generally, how long is the healing process? (If your site has any before + afters of this procedure, let me know! I would love to check it out) Thanks!
