What Is Axillary Fat?
Axillary fat is the small pocket that occurs inside the armpit. It usually appears when wearing sleeveless tops and makes one look uneven under the arm, which is why cosmetic options are sought. At times, this area could be confused with some other type of tissue called axillary breast tissue, which is quite different and requires a specific approach for its removal.
Axillary Breast Tissue vs. Armpit Fat: A Difference That Matters
Though axillary fat and axillary breast tissue appear similar, they are different:
Axillary Fat. This is the usual body fat located in the armpit area. It is usually connected to the individual’s body weight, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Exercise and diet will usually help to reduce axillary fat, but it generally needs some type of targeted treatment to get rid of it altogether.
Axillary Breast Tissue: It is true breast tissue and can occur in the axilla region due to familial predisposition. Unlike axillary fat, axillary breast tissue is not much affected by exercise or dietary changes. Most patients carrying axillary breast tissue desire surgical excision.
Thus, the distinction must be understood for proper management and Dr. Ashish Khare is adept at recognizing and treating both.

Several factors bring about the buildup of armpit fat. Some of these factors include
Genetics: A person’s genetic makeup will greatly impact how and where your body stores fat. In a person with a natural tendency to store fat in the upper body, the armpits are some of the places where this happens.
Hormonal Changes: There are also hormonal effects that will affect the storage of body fat, and in the case of females, will occur during periods of pubescence, pregnancy, and menopause. Fat storage is one area in which estrogen influences its effect.
Weight Gain: Whenever there is weight gain of the body as a whole, fat may deposit across different areas, such as the armpit. Lifestyle may be otherwise very healthy and still, the fat stored in the armpits does not have much hope of losing itself with this type of change.
Poor Posture: At times, bad posture worsens the appearance of armpit fat since round shoulders and slouching allow folds of fat and skin to drape across the area of the armpits.
Poor Muscle Inability to flex and extend the chest muscles and upper arms makes the armpit fat more evident. Sometimes it decreases its visibility if one has more muscles.
Is Armpit Fat Normal?
Yes, the armpit fat is normal. This is one of the usual regions where fats tend to pile up. Although it carries no health implications, several people remove it just to look better.
If you are also bothered about your armpit fat, there are good treatments which you can access. Surgical and non-surgical techniques are offered by experts, such as Dr. Ashish Khare so that your armpit fat gets treated completely.
Treatment for Axillary Fat
While diet and exercise remain the most common first recommendations, it may not do the trick since the location of the axillary fat can’t be easily approached by these means. In addition, Dr. Ashish Khare provides other treatments specific to the elimination of this kind of unwanted body fat:
1. Liposuction
Axillary fat removal is very common with liposuction. This is where some of the fat is eliminated through a suctioning action with a device and given the shape to give better contours to the armpit area. This results in immediate effects following very minor surgery with almost insignificant recovery time.
2. CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting, or cryolipolysis, is non-invasive technology wherein frozen fat cells naturally absorb within the body after freeze fat cell reduction technology. Such a technique bests to reduce small bulging fatty pockets and has good advantages for those wishing not to undergo surgery. Axillary fat reduction can also be offered by Dr. Khare, who could provide more information on its application.
3. Ultrasound Fat Reduction
This process, called ultrasound-assisted fat reduction, employs sound waves that break the fat cells and accelerate the natural metabolic degradation of the same by the body.
4. Exercise and Strength Training
There will be a reduction in armpit fat, and this cannot be a guarantee. Target exercises include push-ups, chest presses, and lateral raises that target the chest and arms. You will have to consult an expert for some types of fat that do not respond to anything other than surgical or non-surgical procedures.
Why Dr. Ashish Khare?
He is a very experienced cosmetic surgeon specializing in removing axillary fat and breast tissue. He always uses the latest techniques to ensure safe, effective, and personalized results for each patient. The following are reasons why it would be great to opt for Dr. Khare:
Dr. Khare offers in-depth consultations in which he helps patients know the cause of their axillary fat and guides them on the most suitable treatment options. He uses the latest available fat removal technologies and techniques such as liposuction and CoolSculpting. Both are very effective and relatively non-invasive procedures.
He can correctly differentiate between axillary fat and axillary breast tissue, so he offers the utmost, permanent benefit in terms of treatment. Dr. Khare is a compassionate physician who will do everything to make his patients feel at ease, secure, and satisfied with the treatment procedure.
Even though axillary fat is mainly genetically determined and affected by hormones, certain lifestyle practices may be beneficial for the reduction of the visibility of axillary fat:
Maintain a Healthy Diet: Having a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight will also help reduce fat accumulation, even in the armpit region.
Exercise Regularly: Bodyweight exercises, like strength training, but particularly exercising the muscles across the chest, shoulder region, and upper arm, build muscle tones in the armpits.
Exercise Good Posture: A posture flaw worsens a bad look. Poor posture stretches the armpit more widely, leaving more gaps when the light catches through, making it rather noticeable if it is full of body fat.
Hydration: Water should be one of your staples for supple skin tones.
As discussed earlier, the lack of elasticity creates the body pockets, leaving them noticeable due to water retention on it.The fat content in the axillary area is average, yet somehow affects confidence, mainly if it appears when a specific dress is worn. Happily, cosmetic surgery has advanced to an accessible and effective treatment of armpit fat.
Therefore, being specialized and dedicated, Dr. Ashish Khare will design every patient’s treatment accordingly so they can get what they want. Through either liposuction, CoolSculpting, or ultrasound fat reduction, he ensures that his patient is comfortable and confident in his appearance.

Dr. Ashish Khare is undoubtedly the best cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Gurgaon. I had a head injury with a skull deep cut on my forehead. I was scared that the sutures will leave a lifelong scar. Dr. Khare did the procedure so patiently and kept motivating me positively that there will be a very light scar and I need not worry about it. Its been a while since I got the sutures and the scar is hardly visible. His staff was also very warm and supportive and his clinic is clean and well equipped with all latest amenities. He is definitely your go to person for any plastic or cosmetic surgery. Thankyou once again Dr Khare.

I was suffering from gynaecomastia from a long time. I was searching a lot about whom to consult this. After searching a lot, I came to know about doctor Ashish. In our first meeting, he made me comfortable and told everything about the procedure and cleared all the confusion that I had in my mind. Even after our meeting, I called him so many times and each time he picked up my call and answered all my queries. I finally decided to undergo this surgery. Now, its been a month after the surgery, I am very happy with the results and feel quite confident about my body. Thanks to doctor Ashish and his staff.

I was suffering from small breast since a long time . I wanted a solution for that as I feel very low in self esteem and confidence , I came to know about Dr Ashish Khare at Kalosa Cosmetics . The doctor told me about implant and I underwent breast implant surgery by Dr Ashish . I did not tell anyone about the procedure , the doctor and team took proper care of me during and after the procedure . It was a day care surgery and really painless . My dressing was removed after 48 hrs and I can see the difference . I was really very happy with the results and I truly recommend Dr Ashish Khare and kalosa cosmetics for breast implant surgeries as well as breast reduction surgery . In my opinion Dr Ashish Khare is best plastic surgeon in this field . Really appreciate the doctor .

“I do not like my nose and i want a nose job done.” Our adult but also a teenager son sprang a surprise on us. We tried our best to convince him that his nose was close to perfect and he didn’t need any surgery. Besides, the after effects of any surgery would be long lasting and sometimes permanent. But he was insistent since he had done a lot of online research on this topic. He felt that he had lost his confidence as he hated his nose and surgery was the only option to regain his lost confidence.
We approached Dr.Khare with this issue and shared our son’s pics with him. After seeing his pics, he acted very maturely and understood that the issue with our son was a psychological one – effect of hardly any face to face interactions with people due to 2.5 years of Corona. He acted more like a psychologist and explained to our son in detail about different types of noses, who went for a surgery and why, clearly highlighting the long term effects of a surgery. He also gave personal tips on how to boost confidence by making new friends, developing new hobbies etc.
Many times plastic surgeons have to be psychologists, as certain unnoticeable issues with a person’s face that he/she personally dislike are an offshoot of their mind which doesn’t require any surgery or correction. Many plastic surgeons don’t even bother to talk out a young teenager/adult from surgery as it is a part of their business. But definitely not Dr. Khare.
After one meeting with him, our son was convinced that he did not need a surgery. Had he been a totally money minded surgeon, he would have convinced our son otherwise.
Can’t comment on Dr. Khare's surgical competences ( am sure he would be good at that too ) as have not experienced it, but highly recommend him for his understanding levels and maturity.
