Must I see a breast surgeon to remove axillary breast tissue in one armpit?

Asked By:Treebird

Going for a breast reduction, but plastic surgeon will not remove Axillary Breast tissue. He says there are too many lymph nodes in that area and recommends that I see a breast surgeon. This means a second surgery and potentially more expense. Has anyone heard of this? I live in a smaller city so not many doctors.
