What is it?
Surgery to treat excess fatty tissue in the armpit area.
How is it done?
It is done with a liposuction cannula, through a cut of about 2 millimeters inside the armpit. If breast tissue is present, a small cut over the gland may be necessary.
It lasts from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the local volume.
Recovery
Lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, settle the tissues and prevent retractions and fibrosis. The elastic garment is mandatory, together with a compression plate specific to the area. No time off work is needed.
Times and techniques are averages and change from person to person. Every indication depends on an individual medical evaluation.
