Axillary Breast Tissue and Removal? (photo)

This area of tissue is excellent for a mini liposuction procedure that can remove excess fat and breast tissue. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank
you for your question. An examination would be necessary to evaluate
if liposuction alone or liposuction in combination with a skin excision
is needed. Consult with a board certified Plastic Surgeon.

axillary breast tissue vs. fatty protrusion? I would like to have a little bit more information on the history of this lump. the best treatment for excess breast tissue is excision. if that's not an option one can try liposuction but its not as satisfactory for breast tissue as it is for fatty protrusion.  

Since most of the time the anterior axillary bulges are just fat, liposuction does great for flattening them down easily under local. Even if some of it is breast tissue, the aggressive cannulas brings it down just fine. Expect to pay roughly $2500 or more on special for lipo of these areas. There is minimal downtime and it is easy to  undergo. Sincerely,David Hansen,MD

         This may be a combination of fat and breast tissue.  Localized fatty deposition can be improved with liposuction, and that may give the best result in your case.  Sometimes, removal of the tissue with a small hidden incision can be performed if necessary.  Liposuction results are highly surgeon dependent.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
