When a lump develops in the armpit area, it can easily cause discomfort in daily life. In particular, armpit bulging caused by an accessory breast can be very noticeable when wearing tight clothing or sleeveless tops, or even when moving around.
These armpit lumps are not always just fat; they may be glandular tissue, or sometimes a combination of both, so a detailed diagnosis and a customized solution are needed. At Axillary Lump Clinic, we provide careful treatment and improvement methods tailored to each person’s condition to help address these concerns.
At Axillary Lump Clinic, we accurately identify the type of accessory breast

If you are concerned about lumps, including sagging tissue in the armpit area, it is usually considered an accessory breast.

Accessory breasts are broadly divided into two types, and the improvement method differs accordingly.

First, a glandular-type accessory breast refers to a case where glandular tissue exists in the armpit area, and in this case, gland removal through a minimal incision is necessary. On the other hand, a fatty-type accessory breast is caused by fat and can be improved through liposuction.
However, if glandular tissue and fat are both present, or if significant sagging is also involved, gland removal and liposuction are performed together, and skin excision may also be considered if needed.
Preoperative tests and an accurate diagnosis are performed

To identify the type of accessory breast, a preoperative X-ray examination is performed.

Because the armpit is an area where important structures such as blood vessels and lymph nodes are concentrated, surgery in this area can be challenging. For that reason, a breast surgery specialist performs the procedure here, helping to achieve stable results.
We carefully handle swelling management and scar care as well

After surgery, swelling management is important. At our clinic, healing light is used to promote recovery and reduce swelling and pain. This helps speed up recovery and relieve discomfort. Scar care is also provided carefully.
Because scar appearance can vary from person to person, our clinic provides customized laser treatment without any additional cost burden. DDR laser is effective for red scars and brown scars, while the Erbium YAG laser is used for hypertrophic scars or raised scars to provide personalized care.
We recommend Axillary Lump Clinic for the following people

We recommend our clinic to those who feel discomfort due to a lump in the armpit area or are concerned about armpit bulging caused by an accessory breast. In particular, if you feel self-conscious when wearing sleeveless or short-sleeved clothing, or if you have been told that the cause may be glandular tissue rather than simple fat, careful diagnosis and treatment are needed.

Here, depending on each person’s condition, we carefully suggest a variety of improvement methods, including minimal-incision gland removal, liposuction, and, if necessary, skin excision, while also providing attentive scar management. Please feel free to consult with us.
