Axillary Breast Excision
Axillary Breast Excision – Redefine Your Underarm Contour with Confidence
Do you notice a bulge near your underarms that doesn’t go away, no matter how much you exercise? Many women (and even some men) live with what’s medically known as axillary accessory breast tissue—a condition where breast tissue develops in the underarm area. This can cause discomfort, visible bulging, awkward bra fitting, pain during menstruation, and sometimes even embarrassment in sleeveless clothing. The good news? You don’t have to live with it anymore. If you’re tired of feeling self-conscious in sleeveless outfits or dealing with underarm heaviness, axillary breast excision in Mumbai at Jewel Aesthetic Centre can restore both comfort and confidence.
What Is Axillary Breast Tissue?
Axillary breast tissue is excess glandular tissue or fat located in the underarm area. It can appear due to genetic predisposition, hormonal influences, or incomplete regression of embryonic breast tissue. In some cases, it even includes a functioning nipple-areola complex.
Why Does This Condition Happen?
During fetal development, breast tissue forms along a line called the “milk line,” extending from the armpits to the groin. Normally, most of this tissue regresses—but in some individuals, residual tissue remains in the armpits, leading to axillary breast formation.
Signs You May Have Accessory Breast Tissue
- Visible bulge or lump in the underarm
- Swelling during menstruation or pregnancy
- Tenderness or discomfort
- Uneven body shape in fitted clothing
- Difficulty wearing bras or sleeveless outfits
It’s Not Just Cosmetic—There Are Physical Effects Too
Many patients report pain, irritation, sweating, and even limited arm movement due to enlarged axillary tissue. If left untreated, it can also become fibrotic or develop cysts over time.
Excision vs. Liposuction – Which Works Best?
- Excision is ideal for glandular tissue or large volume
- Liposuction is suitable for soft fatty deposits
- Often, a combination of both gives the best results
Dr. Devayani carefully assesses the consistency and volume before choosing the ideal method.
