    • Accessory Breast Removal (Axillary)

    What Is

    Accessory Breast Removal (Axillary)

    Accessory breast tissue is excess breast tissue that appears in the underarm area. It may cause discomfort, swelling, or cosmetic concerns, especially during hormonal changes.

    Accessory breast removal is a minimally invasive procedure that removes this tissue using liposuction, excision, or both. It helps create a smoother underarm contour, improves comfort, and delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

    Accessory Breast Removal (Axillary) Variations

    • Surgical Excision (Open Removal)

      This method involves carefully removing excess breast tissue through a small incision in the underarm area. It is ideal for patients with larger or more prominent accessory breast tissue, ensuring complete removal and improved contour.

    • Liposuction-Assisted Removal

      Best suited for cases with predominantly fatty tissue, this technique uses liposuction to gently remove excess fullness from the axilla. It results in minimal scarring and quicker recovery.

    • Combined Technique (Excision + Liposuction)

      A combination of surgical excision and liposuction is often used for optimal contouring. This approach ensures both glandular tissue and fat are effectively removed, providing smoother and more natural results.

    • Unilateral Accessory Breast Removal

      Performed when excess tissue is present in one underarm. The procedure focuses on achieving symmetry with the opposite side for a balanced appearance.

    • Bilateral Accessory Breast Removal

      In cases where accessory breast tissue is present on both sides, removal is performed bilaterally to create a more proportionate and symmetrical contour.

    • Revision / Contour Correction Procedure

      For patients who have undergone prior surgery, this procedure refines results by addressing residual tissue, uneven contours, or scarring to achieve a smoother underarm appearance.

    Accessory Breast Removal (Axillary Breast Tissue) in Mumbai

    Some women notice a small bulge or fullness near the armpits, especially when raising their arms or wearing fitted clothes. This may not be fat — it could be accessory breast tissue, a common condition where extra breast tissue develops outside the normal breast area, most often in the underarm (axilla).
