Can I Avoid Surgery for Armpit Fat Through Exercise? Tri Valley Plastic Surgery

What exercises should I do to get rid of armpit area fat and avoid plastic surgery?

There is no such thing as non-surgical targeted fat loss

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately there is no such thing as targeted fat loss through diet or exercise. People lose and gain weight from different areas in their body as they gain and lose weight overall. What's even worse is those areas can change (typically it becomes harder to lose abdominal and peritoneal fat) as we age. All the fancy machines that talk about "blasting your core" are great for toning muscle but will NOT accelerate fat loss in a particular area. In addition, sometimes patients who have fullness in their armpits have what is known as axillary breast tissue. If these areas get larger or more painful around your menses it is very possible this is what you have. In our San Francisco area office we have treated many of these patients with liposuction or direct excision. See a physician with specific questions. I hope this helps.
