Hello.

Today, I’d like to talk about one of the questions that people considering axillary accessory breast surgery ask most often in the consultation room: this.

“Doctor, can’t you do the surgery with a smaller incision?”

“It would be better if the skin didn’t have to be cut, right?”

You may think that way.

Of course, it’s understandable to worry about scars and hope for a faster recovery.

But in reality, the results can differ completely depending on the surgical method.

What is minimally invasive axillary accessory breast surgery?

As the name suggests, this method minimizes the incision, removes only the glandular tissue, and leaves the skin as it is.

The incision is about 1 cm, the scar is small, and recovery is relatively fast.

It can be a pretty good option for younger people with good skin elasticity.

But!

The important point here is that when the accessory breast is too large or the skin lacks elasticity, this method cannot fully reduce the sagging skin.

In such cases, what does the post-surgery result look like?

The glandular tissue or fat may be removed, but because the skin remains, the area can look wrinkled or sunken.

In particular, for people with a large accessory breast or reduced skin elasticity, this may create an awkward appearance.

Of course, if it is small or the skin elasticity is really good, it may heal naturally.

What about surgery combined with skin excision?

This is a procedure that removes not only the glandular tissue or fat but also the sagging skin.

It clears away unnecessary tissue and also redefines the line.

After this type of surgery, the skin does not become wrinkled, and the axillary and chest lines blend together more naturally.

In particular, for people whose skin has loosened after childbirth or after dieting, it can lead to a much more aesthetically pleasing result.

Of course, there are drawbacks.

The scar may be a little larger.

However, in most cases, it is hidden inside the axillary crease, so it is not very noticeable.

Recovery may also take a little longer than with a minimally invasive procedure.

Even so, this is often preferred by people who want a neat and beautiful shape.

Today’s conclusion is:

“Smaller scars are always best.”

“More removal is always better.”

Rather than deciding in such absolute terms, choosing the surgical method according to skin condition, the size of the accessory breast, and the result you want is a much more reasonable and accurate approach.

“Design tailored to your own body creates the most beautiful result.”
