Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical treatment performed to eliminate the existing stubborn subcutaneous fat present in specific parts of the body by sucking them out with a thin tube known as a cannula. The procedure corrects body deformities that are caused by stubborn fats that have difficulties to be eliminated.

Armpit Fat Liposuction focuses on removing fat that looks like a small pooch next to the armpit. This bulge can prevent a lot of women from wearing tank tops or lingerie with thin straps confidently.

The condition is often caused by excess weight, but hormones and genetics may also play a role. Sometimes, it may also be caused by axillary breast or accessory breast (excess breast tissue). Liposuction can help to eliminate the stubborn pockets of underarm fats and increase comfort as well as confidence.

Liposuction is done by inserting a cannula (a hollow thin tube) under the skin. Then a high-pressure vacuum will break up the fats and suck them out. The cannula will be driven into the body until enough stubborn fats are sucked out. Meanwhile, your body fluid will be replenished through an intravenous line.
