Axillary Breast Removal

What Causes Axillary Breast Tissue?

The condition occurs due to the failure of breast tissue to properly regress during embryonic development. This results in the presence of additional breast tissue along the "milk line," which extends from the armpit to the groin. While it often goes unnoticed, hormonal fluctuations can cause the tissue to swell and become more pronounced, leading to discomfort or cosmetic concerns.

Symptoms and Impact

• Visible bulge: A lump or bulge in the armpit area, especially during hormonal cycles.
• Pain or tenderness: The tissue may become painful or tender, particularly during menstruation or pregnancy.
• Discomfort: The extra tissue can cause discomfort, particularly with tight clothing or physical activity.
• Cosmetic concerns: Many individuals feel self-conscious about the visible bulge, which may affect body confidence.

Treatment: Axillary Breast Removal Surgery

Axillary breast tissue does not go away on its own, and the most effective treatment is surgical removal. The procedure involves making an incision in the armpit area and removing the excess tissue. This surgery is relatively simple, and it significantly improves both the physical and cosmetic concerns associated with the condition.

Consultation and Diagnosis: During your consultation at Medfin, a specialist will examine the area to confirm the presence of axillary breast tissue. This may include imaging tests such as ultrasound or mammography to rule out other conditions like cysts or tumors.

Surgical Procedure: The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. A small incision is made in the armpit, and the excess tissue is carefully removed. In some cases, liposuction may be used to further contour the area. The procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.

Recovery: After surgery, patients can expect minimal discomfort and swelling in the underarm area. Most individuals can return to daily activities within a week, with full recovery expected in 2-4 weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions, including wound care and restrictions on physical activity.
