How Much Does It Cost to Remove Axillary Breast Tissue from Under One Arm?

Liposuction and excisional procedures are options. Non-invasive options are likely less reliable (only treating the fatty component) and will likely require multiple treatments to achieve a similar effect to more invasive options. Costs will vary from region to region, surgeon to surgeon and procedure to procedure. RealSelf.com is a helpful resource for establishing averages for a given area. This is typically not covered by insurance.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

The cost for the removal of axillary breast tissue
varies and is dependent upon multiple factors.These include the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthetic charges, and
the cost of pathology services. In
the Midwestern United States the cost of this procedure would range between
$2,000 and $3,000.This would typically
include the surgeons fee, facility fee, anesthetic charges and after care.Cost
is obviously important, but it’s also important to be comfortable with the
surgeon’s qualifications and experience.Make sure you get all your questions answered and are comfortable with
your surgeon.

   Axillary breast tissue removal is difficult with liposuction alone.  The tissue, however, may be fat, which, of course, is amenable to liposuction.  After an exam to determine the best approach, a reasonable charge may be $2000 or so.

Great question. Lots of women have axillary breast tissue, and depending on your insurance and overall presentation, in some scenarios it may be covered by insurance. If not, expect to pay between $1000 to $2500 or so more to have this area treated as well. Typically it requires excision as opposed to just liposuction, as there is typically extra skin in addition to fat. it can be done safely at the time of surgery and there are no non-surgical options.

This is a common procedure and I usually recommend surgical excision as there is usually excess skin to remove as well.  Self pay rates in an office operating suite would be around $1200 in our area.  If the surgery is done at a hospital facility, we usually can submit to insurance for the surgery, anesthesia and pathology.  This will of course depend on where you live and your insurance policy.  Best wishes.
