42 year old female. Both underarms have axillary breast tissue, left side worse than right. Is there a specific type of surgery/surgeon I should be researching or is liposuction the only option? What is done to tighten the skin? Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer: Axillary breast tissue Dear nicerw, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, excision of axillary breast tissue is a good option to completely remove the tissue. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
