How does breast tissue migrate to the armpit area? (photos)

Asked By:kokocharmz95 in Minneapolis, MN

I am interested in getting surgery to remove accessory breast tissue in both of my armpits. I was wondering how much that would cost as well as if it is normal for someone my age to have this. I notice I've had this excess in my armpit since I was 11, now I am 19. It has grown throughout the years! Is it because I have big breasts?
