Axillary breast tissue is a rare condition where functional or non-functional breast tissue develops in the axilla (armpit) region. This tissue can become prominent during puberty, pregnancy, or hormonal changes. It may present as a lump or swelling in the underarm area and can be mistaken for other conditions. While often benign, axillary breast tissue can cause discomfort, skin irritation, or interfere with clothing fit. In some cases, it may be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, necessitating evaluation and potential removal.
At Aaroku Care, treatment for axillary breast tissue involves surgical removal through a procedure known as axillaplasty. This minimally invasive surgery combines liposuction and excision techniques to remove the excess tissue. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with incisions strategically placed in the natural folds of the underarm to minimize visible scarring. Post-operative care includes wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and support healing. Most patients experience significant improvement in appearance and comfort, with a recovery period of approximately 3-6 weeks.
