What are the complications and recurrence rate of axillary breast tissue removal?

zhuangyanyan
I have axillary breast tissue under my armpit. It is connected to breast tissue. So it should be the extension of spence's tail. It never caused any pain or uncomfort, or change with period cycle.I am concerned about the complication of excision method. Could it lead to lymphedema? Could surgery harm the entensive lympho system there and harm the circulation of it? What is the recurrence rate after surgery removal? Some people mentioned it is about 90%.
