Axillary breast tissue removal - is there a specific type of surgery/surgeon I should be researching

Hello. In my opinion liposuction would be the best treatment option for axillary breast tissue. Incision will be very short (3 to 4mm) and hidden in the armpit. In your case vaser liposuction will be good option and will help in skin tightening. Hope that I have cleared your doubt. Thank you for posting your query. Wishing a healthy life.

Axillary breast tissue removal is difficult with liposuction alone. Swelling can persist for 6 months and sometimes up to 1 year following liposuction. The scars are initially red or hyperpigmented but the scars do tend to improve over about a 12 to 18 month period. Given time, you will probably be pleased with the result. Open excision may be recommended if there is an extensive amount of axillary breast tissue.

Hello, as with many areas, the answer is going to depend on how much tissue you have there and how loose the skin is. Liposuction alone is usually good for the small area just in front of the axilla when your arm is down at your side, but if someone truly has a large mass or area of breast tissue under the arm, I think techniques that do not excise skin do not adequately flatten the area out. I typically liposuction what I can, see if it’s “debulked” enough, and then excise skin that’s too loose along with any fibrous breast tissue there that did not come out with lipo.
Lastly, I would say that there are techniques like doing ultrasound-assisted lipo, lipo with a skin tightening device like Renuvion, or just liposuction with a lot of compression to see how much contracts and then coming back later or doing an in-office skin excision to avoid a second trip to the OR, all depending on what the area looks and feels like on you specifically.
Hope this helps, thanks!

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.
