How much is swelling versus underarm fat? (Photo)

October 24, 2017
Asked By:DDD2C in US

I am 11 days post op, 2.5 lb (total) anchor reduction and for the most part am very happy with my results. Due to the amount of excess tissue under my arms, I asked to have the incisions extend to remove as much as possible. (I wasn't really concerned with the scarring). I'm now wondering if I should have added lipo as well. (I did this through insurance so lipo was extra). At this point, considering I didn't have drains, how much may be swelling versus fat?
