"I had a breast reduction in January 2001. I went from an overflowing 40DD to a C cup. Prior to surgery I was told that some lipo is generally done given the shape of my breasts and where/how the reduction would be done. The lipo was to be done where the incision would stop beneath my arms and a small amount in the arm pit area itself. My reduction was covered by my insurance company since it was done for health reasons rather than cosmetic so the outcome causes me concern. Although the front of my breasts are noticeably smaller and are round for the most part, there does not appear to have been any lipo
and there are rather squarish protrusions where my breasts previously began. Because of this shape, many bras don't fit properly and I am much more self-concious than I was before when they were too large and in the beginning stages of drooping. I am a bit overweight but was told it wasn't enough to warrant any weight loss pre-surgery so i'm concerned that they will be square even if I do lose weight. Is there anything that can be done now and if so, what procedure and what might it cost me? I am leery of returning to the doctor that did the reduction."
Arm Liposuction
34 year old, Female, Dark skin tone

This patient wanted to have a smaller breast and arm. She did not want breast reduction as the first stage. She wanted to see if she could just get her breast to be smaller and weigh less with liposuction. At the same time she wanted smaller arms. We did the liposuction of the breasts and arm in two separate procedures. She later came back and did a breast lift. These pictures show her before her breast lift but after her breast and arm liposuction.
This young 28 year old woman was bothered by heavises and sagging skin around her arms. After a consultation with one of the Board Certified Plastic Surgeons at The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery she decided to undergo liposuction of the upper arm and shoulder area.
