What is the best approach to my bilateral axillary breast tissue? (photos)

Armpit/axillary fullness is fairly common. Your radiologist has determined from your mammogram that your problem is not fat which lipo could remove, but excess tissue for which a direct excision is needed.

Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry. The method of armpit reduction depends on the tissue. If there is more breast tissue, an open excision with a cut in the armpit is the best option. If this is just fat tissue, then liposuction is feasible. In your case, an open excision might be a better choice.

Your breasts are low on the chest wall and widely separated. The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The skin from the axillary area is pulled in with the breast lift.

Best Wishes,
