Axillary Breast Removal

Most people associate breasts with the tissue on the front of the chest. Breast tissue can occasionally develop outside the typical breast area. Axillary breast tissue is typically located near the armpits. Armpit fat can protrude over a bra or strapless dress, which many find unappealing. read more here.

Benefits of Axillary Breast Tissue Removal

Axillary breast tissue’s lumpy appearance can impact your self-confidence and influence your clothing choices. Wearing loose-fitting clothing can hide the area, but it restricts your self-expression and style. Removing dense tissue provides several benefits, including:

  • Enhanced Comfort: Reducing extra breast tissue from the armpit area can alleviate physical discomfort, including chafing and irritation from garment friction. Some people also say their arms can move more freely.
  • Improved Appearance: Removing axillary breast tissue enhances armpit contour and eliminates “bra bulge,” boosting self-confidence.
  • Clothing Fit: After the removal of axillary breast tissue, individuals often find it easier to wear tight-fitting shirts or sleeveless tops.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz has designed specialized cannulas for precise fat removal, reducing postoperative discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Individuals with mild skin laxity and primarily fatty axillary breast tissue are suitable for liposuction.

Direct Excision
