Strong binders with high armpits?

My primary binding issue is armpit fat. Basically, in theory I can bind completely flat - this binder basically makes my chest disappear if I arrange it correctly, although I have issues with wrinkling and the bottom edge showing through clothes. But every binder I've tried with any real binding strength has giant dips below the armpits that cause my armpit fat to spill out and look totally gross (and unpassable unless I'm wearing a jacket/open buttonup/very sturdy knit fabric). Even sports bras do this,,,hell, even regular bras sometimes did. I just have strangely fat armpits.

My ideal binder shape is something like this one, but it doesn't have anything like the binding strength I need. It also has a really high neckline, as does this one, which I also otherwise like. My workaround for when I need to be really flat and passable has been to wear the 998 (last one linked) over the lesloveboat one I linked up top, which looks nice, but starts to get into the "trouble breathing" territory, not to mention the "how many layers of clothing are you wearing??"

So,, does anyone know of any binders that are cut high under the arms, velcro closure, non-stretchy material, ideally not with a high neck, and most ideally full-length but not binding in the midsection?

I had the same issue. When I looked at it closely it had http and stuff twice so I just cut and pasted the website. Seemed to work for me. If that made sense.

I have the same problem with my chest basically spilling entirely out of the arm holes unless I try to push the flesh down, which hurts (and results in terrible nipple chaffing as it all moves up again).  I don't really expect to find any that fit me well in this respect because even when I wore women's clothes, I had to shop in the "petites" section because the arm holes on shirts were always too big for me, and on men's stuff (like Underworks binders), they're even bigger.  If you have the same problem with sportsbras, chances are that we're both "petit" gentlemen. 

I think the easiest solution is to modify binders by taking in an inch or two at the shoulder seam, so the holes for the arms are smaller and the neckline is a bit higher.  Though I've modified a binder by taking in fabric at the sides to make it tighter, I haven't done this modification yet, but I'll post pictures when I get around to it.

yeah, as ilan said, if you take out like an inch and a half of the shoulder straps that will change the whole appearance and effect of a binder. i had that done with one of my love boat binders (i don't have armpit fat but my boobs are pretty much where my armpits are  :o, so i need the binder to compress right there and not just two inches lower than that)
