Is Armpit Liposuction the Only Way to Get Rid of Stubborn Armpit Fat?

You may not be aware that armpits are a highly photoshopped area when it comes to the female physique. Even models and celebrities have their armpit fat photoshopped out of images. If you’re worried about your armpit fat, you’re certainly not alone. However, there is an answer to this all-too-common problem – armpit liposuction.

Can I Get Rid of Armpit Fat Without Surgery?

Unfortunately, fat can accumulate in any area of the body. The armpits are no exception. While diet and exercise may help, it isn’t possible to spot reduce fat in just one part of the body. Nevertheless, there are many options out there for those who are concerned about their armpit fat. Here, we look at some of these recommended options.

Controlling Your Fat and Sugar Intake

Foods that are high in fats and sugars will not help your armpit fat. Cutting your intake of these foods could help you to lose weight overall. This means you should cut candy, pastries, cakes, and full-fat sodas out of your diet. You should also consider reducing margarine, butter, cooking oil, and sweet dairy products from your regime. In addition, you should eliminate junk food, fast food, and processed foods.

If you’re wondering what to eat, you should try to add more healthy foods and fresh produce to your diet. Quinoa, legumes, oats, granola, berries, whole wheat, avocados, and olive oil are all healthier choices. Most people who can reduce their diets by 600 calories a day lose a couple of pounds a week.

Drinking More Water

Avoid drinking fruit juice, soda, and sports drinks, as well as full-fat sodas. Instead, switch to water for better hydration all day.

Exercise More

Start doing push-ups every day. These will tone the shoulders, back, and arms and, hopefully, shift some of the armpit fat. If you do 40 push-ups every day, this should show results. Triceps dips are another useful exercise for decreasing armpit fat. High-intensity cardiovascular exercise can also help. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a good option.

Disguise Your Armpit Fat

If diet and exercise aren’t working, you can disguise your armpit fat by taking certain steps. Maintain the right posture so you look slenderer and taller. Hunching and slouching makes skin bunch up under your arms. You should keep your shoulders and neck upright when you sit, stand or walk.

Wearing clothes that are tight also draws attention to armpit fat. Always ensure your clothing fits correctly around your arms. In addition, avoid stretch materials and choose dresses with longer sleeves to avoid bulges.

Wearing the wrong bra size also causes armpit fat to look worse. Make sure to get a bra properly fitted to ensure better comfort and support.

Getting Armpit Liposuction

If you’re tired of disguising your armpit fat you’re probably looking for a more permanent solution. Diet and exercise, unfortunately, can only do so much. Even slim women often suffer from excess armpit fat. It is very difficult to naturally shift stubborn fat from this area. Spot reduction of fat is impossible through any natural method. When you lose weight, your entire body will lose it. This means that areas you are already happy with may become too slim. It also means that your armpit fat may stubbornly refuse to budge.

Armpit liposuction is the only permanent solution. Here at ArtLipo, we can permanently remove fat cells from this area and leave you looking your best. You will no longer have to think about what to wear to disguise your bulges. Contact our skilled team today to find out how we can help you.
