You might need a small excision of tissue along the lateral chest. This is a fairly common procedure for patients with similar complaints.

Residual lateral breast rolls commonly are accentuated after breast reduction. Direct excision , which will leave long scars is advised.

Thank you for sharing your question. If the area of fullness is the outer chest roll, it can be taken care of with excision of the skin and underlying fat. This is not uncommon once the reduction is performed as it can enhance their appearance. Hope this helps.
