UNDERARM & SIDE CONTOUR
Axillary liposuction
Smooth the line between the breast and the underarm.
Fullness at the side of the chest and under the arm can show through clothing and blur the outline of the breast. It may be fat, extra breast tissue that extends toward the armpit (sometimes called accessory or axillary breast tissue), or a mix.
Liposuction can reduce the fat component through small incisions. Firmer glandular tissue or loose skin may need a different approach, and it is often considered together with breast surgery.

How the options differ
- Fat only. Liposuction through small incisions can reduce fullness and smooth the contour.
- Breast tissue. Tissue extending toward the armpit may need to be removed rather than suctioned.
- Combined with breast surgery. It is often planned together with a reduction or lift so the whole contour is addressed in one plan.
Questions worth asking
- Is my fullness fat, breast tissue, or both?
- Should this be done alone or together with breast surgery?
- Where would the small incisions be?
- What should I expect from swelling and compression garments?
Start with a conversation
A consultation covers your goals, an examination, the options that suit your anatomy, and the risks and trade-offs, so you can decide at your own pace. It might lead to surgery, to a different procedure, or to no surgery at all. Booking a consultation is not booking surgery.
