Can large implants stretch & correct armpit fat/axillary breast tissue? (Photos)

No implant of any size will get rid of this fat. Fortunately a little liposuction will resolve it. This is a very common place that I have treated many times, as recently as twice last week. If you are planning a breast augmentation, choose a proper size implant for you needs and have a little lipo at the same time. Good luck.

It may reduce the prominence of the area but there is no guarantee. For a more predictable improvement, liposuction is a more suitable option.

A carefully chosen implant can soften transitions at the boundaries of the breast. However, the implant pocket (space created for the implant) must not extend beyond your breast boundaries. If the pocket is too big, the implant will be at risk of malposition (resting to the side or below your breast) which makes the breast look unnatural. Large implants rarely disguise underarm fat and when they do, it is usually temporary because the implant drop away from the underarm area within a few months of augmentation. Liposuction or direct excision of excess tissue is sometimes necessary to achieve the desired result.

Large implants will not solve your problem. You will need the armpit areas liposucted or the skin excised surgically. However, if you do a breast lift then this area can be incorporated into the breast, depending on the technique used.

Good morning,
Yes large implants can help mask that area and fill the groove- and the other option is to use liposuction to debulk the area- it's a pretty common procedure in my practice- probably 3-4 times a month I will address this area.
