Before and after liposuction of the axillary rolls (armpit area) in a 39 year old woman. Ever since she reached puberty, she had a fat collection in this area that prevented her from feeling comfortable wearing tank tops or sleeveless dresses.
The left side was always worse than the right. She “had finally had enough” and sought out treatment to take care of this annoying part of her body! She fully researched her options, including nonsurgical ones, and concluded that if she was going to target this area, she wanted real results! Liposuction was her best option for her.
Liposuction was performed under local anesthesia as an in-office procedure. She worked from home for a week and took 10 days off exercise. She wore a compressive bandeau strap to apply gentle pressure to her armpit area as much as possible for two weeks.
Early follow up photos are shown one month after surgery. She is now wearing tank tops without giving them a second thought and is already thrilled with her results. Her skin is still contracting and the discoloration from old bruising is nearly faded completely. She has started scar therapy for her two small (2 mm) incisions. She is so happy she did it!
