Axillary Fat - are there any non surgical treatment options? (Photo)

Question

I've always had axillary fat, since my teenage years. It's not related to my body weight. It's always there, even when I lose/gain weight. It's very unsightly because there are always two visible bulges when I wear a tank top or a sleeveless dress. What are my options to fix these? My first though was liposuction, but that sounds too extreme. Are there any other options? Maybe non-surgical ones?

A persistent axillary bulge that does not change much with weight loss is usually due to localized fat, accessory breast tissue, skin laxity, or a combination of these. In the visible photo, the main issue appears to be localized fullness along the front axillary fold, although an in-person exam can change the recommendation.

For true fat, small-volume liposuction is often the most predictable option and is usually less “extreme” than it may sound when the area is limited. Non-surgical fat reduction can help selected small, pinchable fat pockets, but the result is more modest and less precise. If the fullness is glandular tissue or loose skin rather than fat, excision may be needed; creams, exercise, or massage will not reliably remove it.
