Hello, I have Axillary breast tissue that I need removed. I have it on both sides and have grown significantly over the last couple of months. I included pictures but the tissue is much noticeable in person. I had a doctor confirm it is axillary breast tissue. The issue has grown and the nipple-like areas have moved toward my actual breasts. I'm wondering whether the fat next to the Axillary breast is fat or breast tissue. My armpit area has stretched, so I'd like to know if it's fat or tissue

If it is actual fat, then liposuction can remove the excess. If it is also excess skin, you could add minimally invasive radiofrequency to help tighten skin.
