What is Accessory Breast Tissue Removal?
It is common for women to have side armpit fats, but sometimes those are actually excess breast tissues that form bulges between the breast and underarm.
Accessory Breast Tissue Removal can be performed to help improve the condition and relieve the physical discomfort of an overly large volume of accessory tissue in some cases.
How It Works
The procedure can be performed by surgical excision to remove the accessory breast tissues. Incisions would be made along the natural wrinkle line in the axillary fold to ensure no visible scars after the surgery.
Procedure for Accessory Breast Tissue Removal
1. Consultation and examination of the breast
2. Marking of the area to be treated
3. Administration of anesthesia
4. Small incisions made through the axillary fold lines
5. Removal of accessory breast tissues
6. Closing of the incisions

FAQ
Q1: Is it painful?
A1: Anesthesia would be given to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the surgery.
Q2: Is this a permanent treatment?
A2: Usually, there would be no tissue regrowth after removal, so this treatment is considered permanent; fat bulges may still be able to grow back depending on your lifestyle.
Q3: Can I remove the tissues with liposuction?
A3: Yes, but it also depends on your condition after the examination. In some cases, surgery is required along with liposuction.
