If you’re considering liposuction to address persistent fat in the bra bulge area, this guide outlines the procedure, its variations, candidacy, potential benefits, and why Dr Mark Kohout’s clinic might be the perfect choice for you.
The Procedure: How Is It Performed?
Recovery bra bulge liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure focused on improving the contours near the upper chest and armpit area. Here’s how it is typically performed:
- Anaesthesia:
The procedure begins with local anaesthesia and sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s comfort and the extent of the surgery. - Incisions:
Small, discreet incisions are made in the targeted area to insert a cannula (a thin, hollow tube). - Fat Removal:
Using advanced techniques, the cannula is moved strategically to loosen and suction out excess fat cells, with the aim of creating a smooth, natural contour. - Sculpting:
The surgeon aims to seamlessly blend the treated areas with surrounding tissue to maintain proportional results. - Closure and Compression:
The incisions are closed, and compression garments are applied to mianage swelling and support healing.
The entire procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed as day surgery.
Different Types of Liposuction Procedures
While bra bulge liposuction targets a specific area, there are several liposuction techniques available to suit individual needs:
- Tumescent Liposuction:
A solution of local anaesthetic, saline and epinephrine (adrenalin) is injected to numb the area and reduce bleeding before fat removal. - Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL):
Ultrasonic energy is used to liquefy fat, making removal easier. - Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL):
Laser technology melts fat deposits, which are then suctioned out. - Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):
A mechanised cannula facilitates fat removal with greater precision and less manual effort.
Dr Mark Kohout selects the method best suited to each patient’s needs and desired outcomes.

Am I a Good Candidate for Bra Bulge Liposuction?
This procedure is suitable for:
- Individuals with Persistent Localised Fat Deposits: If diet and exercise haven’t resolved fat in the upper chest area.
- Those in Good General Health: Candidates should be non-smokers with no serious medical conditions.
- People with Realistic Expectations: Understanding the potential benefits and limitations of Liposuction ensures more likely satisfaction with the results.
- Stable Weight: Ideal candidates are close to their ideal weight and seeking contouring, not weight loss.
It may not be suitable for those with:
- Significant loose skin in the area (which might require skin-tightening procedures).
- Medical conditions that could impair healing.
- Unrealistic expectations about the outcomes.
Potential Benefits of Bra Bulge Liposuction
- Targeted Contouring: Removes stubborn fat deposits for a more desired silhouette.
- Less Recovery: Minimally invasive with a relatively short downtime.
- Improved Fit in Clothing: Makes bras and fitted garments more comfortable.
- Permanent Results: Once fat cells are removed, they don’t return (assuming a stable weight).
- Noticable Results: You may see noticeable changes in body contour shortly after the procedure, with results continuing to refine over time as swelling subsides.

FAQs About Bra Bulge Liposuction
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the extent of treatment.
Will there be visible scars?
The incisions are small and strategically placed to minimise visibility. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable.
What is the recovery time?
Most patients can return to work within a week and resume normal activities within 2-4 weeks. Swelling may take a few months to fully subside.
Is the procedure painful?
Patients may experience mild discomfort, which is managed with prescribed pain relief and compression garments.
How soon will I see results?
While initial results are noticeable within a few weeks, the final outcome is usually visible 2-3 months post-surgery.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the fat cells removed during liposuction are gone permanently. However, maintaining a stable weight is essential to preserve the results.
