As you can see from my photo, I am not overweight, nor do I have large breasts; yet I have this odd bulge that sticks out (one side is larger than the other). I believe it is axillary breast tissue and would like to have it removed. What is my best option and what kind of downtime would be involved with having surgery in this area? Thanks for the advice!

Answer: #Liposuction
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.

Answer: Axillary Breast Tissue and Removal?
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.
