I have axillary breast tissue under one arm. I would like to know what the price range is to have it surgically removed or liposuctioned out. Or is there a non-surgical option? I understand I need to consult with a plastic surgeon to find out my true options and cost however I wanted to know a range before pursuing it further. And does insurance ever cover this type of procedure?
Answer: Axillary Breast Tissue
Thank you for your question.
It is not possible to give you non-surgical options without an examination. Pricing can range from $1500 on up depending on exactly what is performed and how it's performed.
It will be best to visit with board certified plastic surgeons in your area to discuss in more detail after an examination of the area of concern.
Best Wishes.

Answer: Axillary breast tissue 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).

Answer: In the midwest, $2000-$3000 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.

Answer: Axillary Breast Tissue Removal
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.

Answer: Typically $1000-$2500 in most regions if not covered by insurance 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. -Dr. David Mattos, New York Plastic Surgical Group
