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: Most anterior axillae bulges are excess fat and lipo works great.
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
