Accessory Breast Removal Surgery: Is Fat Removal Enough? What Is the Standard for Gland Excision?

Hello.

This is Mams Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Today, I整理 the content I have accumulated while performing accessory breast surgery.

What is an accessory breast?

An accessory breast is a secondary breast that develops from residual breast tissue left along the milk line during fetal development.

If the density is low, it is the fatty type. If the glandular tissue is developed, it is the glandular type.

Accessory breast surgery is a procedure that smooths out the line between the arm and the chest.

The fatty type can be improved with liposuction, and the glandular type is treated by removing the glandular tissue and refining the area with suction.

If the skin elasticity is significantly reduced, skin excision may be necessary.

In other words, the goal of the surgery is

to reduce unnecessary tissue and refine the line,

not to remove all of the glandular tissue.

Accessory breast surgery is basically performed by leaving a 5 mm layer that protects the skin and clearing the inner space.

Therefore, the parts that should remain are left in place, and only the unnecessary parts are removed.

The remaining glandular tissue does not grow back, but the root area of the accessory breast, the axillary fold line, may feel slightly firm to the touch.

If surgery is performed in the early 20s, when skin elasticity is good, a much better result can be expected with a minimal incision of about 1 cm.

As age increases and elasticity decreases, skin excision may become necessary, and the scar may become longer.

In conclusion,

accessory breast surgery is not simply surgery for a condition, but a procedure that beautifully refines the body shape.

Accordingly, it can also be said to be a surgery that secondarily relieves pain.

The key point is not simply removing the glandular tissue, but creating a stable, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing line!

Thank you.
