Understanding Armpit Fat Removal
Armpit fat removal is a cosmetic procedure designed to address excess fat or glandular tissue in the armpit area. It aims to create a smoother and more defined contour in the underarm region. This procedure is suitable for individuals who are bothered by the appearance of bulges usually around the bra straps, whether they are caused by excess fat or axillary breast tissue.
Liposuction for Reshaping and Reducing Unwanted Lumps:
In most cases, liposuction is the primary technique used for armpit fat removal. Liposuction is a trusted and effective method for removing excess fat deposits and achieving desired body contours. The procedure generally involves the following steps:
- Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Dr. Gallagher will determine the most appropriate anesthesia option based on your specific needs.
- Incisions: Small incisions, usually less than half an inch in length, are strategically placed within the armpit area.
- Liposuction: Through these incisions, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to gently suction out excess fat and reshape the armpit. Dr. Gallagher employs meticulous techniques to achieve a smooth and natural contour.
- Axillary Breast Tissue Removal: In some cases, armpit fat may be caused by axillary breast tissue rather than solely fat deposits. Dr. Gallagher will assess whether this is the case and may recommend removing the glandular tissue through a small incision hidden within the armpit.
- Incision Closure and Recovery: After completing the liposuction or glandular tissue removal, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures. Dr. Gallagher will provide you with specific post-operative instructions, including guidelines for recovery, pain management, and wearing compression garments to support healing.
