Looking into axillary breast removal, will excess skin removal affect the sweat glands under my arm? (photos)

Asked By:Nola Jazz in McRae-Helena, Georgia

I am looking for axillary breast removal. Im pretty sure that I’ll need some skin removed because I have had 4 births with a noticeable bulge under each arm until nursing was completed. Now I have also gained some weight recently and it’s even more pronounced. Does excess skin removal affect the sweat glands under my arm? Also, will I no longer have to shave since the excessive armpit skin will be removed?
