Difference between lateral breast lipo and axillary pad lipo?

Difference between lateral breast lipo and axillary pad lipo?

I had lipo done to these multiple areas: knee, abs, flanks, lower back, inner thighs, and breast lateral.  After my surgery I felt pain in other areas where lipo was done but I did not feel it on my abs and under my armpit.  The consultant said that the breast lateral lipo was for the fat underneath the armpit.  I am still seeing a large amount of fat in that area.  I questioned the office and doctor but they will not answer whether they had done lipo there or not.  I went to another consultation and the cosmetic doctor told me that in order to remove bra bulge you must lipo the axillary pad not breast lateral.  Breast lateral usually is for a breast procedure such as lift or reduction.  I did not have anything done to my breast.  Can someone explain me the difference is what was suppose to be my symptoms and the purpose of these procedures?

I am not sure how to answer this question.  The area you wished to have reduced at the armpit, is typically marked before the procedure and should have corresponded to the area you wished reduced.  The fat pads in the arm pit typically contain some breast tissue as well as fat, so a visualized marked area is far more descriptive than a verbal label.

I was told that it was considered to be the front bra roll.  I was marked in those area but there wasn't any lipo procedures done.  I assume when lateral breast procedure is done is when a patient has a breast reduction or a procedure that has to do with their breast.  True?
