Armpit Fat and Accessory Breast Removal? Why It Is Done Together with Breast Surgery!

Hello, this is Reshaping for Better Me, Bongbong Plastic Surgery Clinic.

Many women who are self-conscious about their breasts often consider augmentation breast surgery, and it is also a good idea to consider surgery to remove armpit fat and accessory breasts at the same time. Accessory breast tissue, which looks like armpit fat, is a relatively common condition.

Accessory breasts are often regarded as a flaw rather than a medical condition, like armpit fat that cannot be reduced. Of course, accessory breasts are not tumors, so they do not necessarily have to be removed. However, removal may be considered if there is a family history of breast cancer, if a large accessory breast causes significant cosmetic distress, or if changes are seen during follow-up.

However, women considering breast surgery should also consider accessory breast removal. This is because breast surgery aims not only to increase size, but also to improve the overall shape and appearance of the breasts.

Because accessory breasts are additionally developed mammary tissue outside the normal breast tissue, removing armpit fat and accessory breast tissue at the same time as breast surgery is recommended. Of course, if there is very little accessory breast tissue or if the accessory breast appears prominent mainly because of the development of the pectoralis major muscle, accessory breast removal surgery may not be necessary.

Also, if the skin elasticity is good and there is not much accessory breast tissue, accessory breast removal can be performed through a small suction method via an armpit incision. However, if there is a lot of accessory breast tissue and skin sagging is a concern after tissue removal, removal by suction is not recommended.

When an armpit incision is used during breast surgery, one option is to directly remove the accessory breast tissue and any excess skin. Because combining breast surgery with accessory breast removal can help improve overall aesthetics, many women choose to have both procedures done together.

However, since all surgery must be decided only after carefully checking each patient's individual body, you should find a medical institution with skilled medical staff experienced in breast surgery and accessory breast removal, identify your exact condition, and ensure that safety is the top priority.
