Axillary Breast Removal Surgery in Hyderabad

Axillary breasts are caused when breast tissues develop outside of the normal breast area, most likely in the axilla or armpit. This is caused mostly by weight gain or it may even be a genetic condition. Axillary breasts are mostly composed of glandular tissues and are susceptible to hormonal changes in the woman’s body or it may be primarily fatty tissue due to weight gain. It is believed to exist in 2% to 6% of women. Whatever the reason for its emergence, it negatively affects the shape of the armpit area due to the bulge.

If you are facing the following problems, you would be an ideal candidate for axillary breast removal procedure:

• The area near the armpit bulges unattractively
• Your clothes do not fit properly.
• When excessively large, it can also cause irritation and inflammation when wearing certain clothing or bras that may cut into the area.

Axillary breast removal can be unilateral or bilateral. The surgery can be done one at a time or both together. Depending on the size and the patient preference the surgery can be done under local or general anaesthesia. If the bulge is tiny and totally fatty, then a liposuction alone may be sufficient, but usually, the bulge contains solid breast tissue and extra skin. In such cases, the excess skin and breast tissue are removed through an incision. The tissue removal is done completely and does not grow back. The incision is closed with absorbable sutures, and the scar is hidden mostly. Restriction of the arm movement is advised for one week, and in one month all activities can be resumed.
