If you have ever felt self-conscious because the underarm area stood out when wearing clothes due to an accessory breast, or when raising your arms,

many people wonder, “Will it go away if I lose weight?” but still feel frustrated because it seems like only a specific area remains.

In actual consultations, I often see cases where the accessory breast remains regardless of weight.

So today, based on accessory breast liposuction surgery, I will calmly organize how much the before-and-after changes are, as well as the recovery process.

1. Why accessory breasts develop

Accessory breasts should be understood a little differently from simply having accumulated fat.

They are cases in which fat gathers in the front of the underarm or along the side of the chest, causing a bulge.

In some cases, glandular tissue is also mixed in.

That is why it is common for the area to remain even when body weight decreases.

In particular, when it is pressed by the bra line, it can look more pronounced, or it can feel like it folds when moving the arms, which makes people more concerned.

This area is structurally a place where fat tends to collect, so in many cases the line is not improved by dieting alone.

2. How much the before-and-after changes are after liposuction

The biggest change from accessory breast liposuction is felt not so much in “volume reduction” as in “line refinement.”

Before surgery, the area extending from the underarm to the side of the chest may have looked protruded,

after surgery, it changes into a smoother side line.

In particular, the folded area when raising the arm is reduced, and many people feel that the upper-body silhouette becomes neater.

However, when the amount of fat was large, the degree of change is greater, and when it was relatively small, some people may feel it as simply a “cleaner look.”

3. Recovery period and care process

Immediately after surgery, some swelling and bruising may occur.

Usually, the initial swelling goes down a lot within 1 to 2 weeks, and then the remaining swelling gradually settles.

Wearing compression garments is an important part of the recovery process, and it helps the tissue settle stably.

Daily life is relatively quick to resume, but movements that heavily use the arms or exercise need to be adjusted for a certain period.

Also, in the early stage, it may feel firm or uneven to the touch,

but over time it often becomes softer.

4. Key criteria that make a difference in results

Accessory breast liposuction is not a surgery where the result improves simply by removing a large amount of fat.

First is the area of removal.

The result changes depending on whether only the protruding area is removed or whether the surrounding line is refined as well.

Second is depth and layer.

If it is too shallow, the skin may look uneven, and if it is too deep, the line may not be properly refined.

Third is skin elasticity.

When elasticity is insufficient, the degree of contraction can affect how the result is perceived.

Lastly, there is whether glandular tissue is present.

Because the approach may differ between cases with only fat and cases where glandular tissue is mixed in,

it is important to distinguish this part.

When approached based on these criteria, satisfaction with the before-and-after changes also tends to remain much more stable.
