Axillary Breast Bulge Removal in Ahmedabad

What’s Axillary Breast?

An axillary breast bulge (also called accessory breast tissue) is an extra deposit of breast tissue or fat located in the armpit region. It is a common condition affecting both men and women, often becoming more prominent during hormonal changes, pregnancy, or weight gain.

Although not medically dangerous, this bulge can cause cosmetic concern, discomfort, and difficulty wearing fitted clothes.

At ADORN Aesthetic Clinic, Ahmedabad, Dr. Harsh Bharat Amin, a renowned Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, performs axillary breast bulge removal surgery to create a smooth, natural underarm contour using advanced, minimally invasive techniques.

• Visible fullness or swelling in the armpit area

• Pain, tenderness, or discomfort while raising arms or wearing tight clothes

• Symmetrical or asymmetrical bulge near the underarm crease

• Post-pregnancy or hormonal enlargement of accessory breast tissue

• Self-consciousness or aesthetic dissatisfaction due to visible bulge

Types of Surgery

Depending on the type and amount of tissue, Dr. Harsh Amin recommends one of the following approaches:

1. Liposuction Technique:

For soft, fatty tissue without glands — uses fine cannulas to suction out excess fat through micro-incisions.

2. Excision Surgery:

For firm glandular or fibrous tissue — the surgeon removes the tissue directly through a small, hidden incision.

3. Combined Approach:

Most common — combines both liposuction and excision to achieve smooth, lasting contour with minimal scar.

Surgical Procedure Description

1. Marking & Anesthesia:

The area is carefully marked, and local or tumescent anesthesia is given for comfort.

2. Liposuction or Excision:

Through a small incision, excess fat and glandular tissue are removed. Special care is taken to preserve lymph nodes and surrounding structures.

3. Contouring & Closure:

The area is sculpted for symmetry and smoothness, and the incision is closed with fine, dissolvable sutures.

4. Dressing & Compression:

A light compression garment is applied to minimise swelling and promote contouring.

The entire procedure takes about 1–2 hours, and patients are discharged the same day.

Recovery After Surgery

• Mild soreness and swelling for 2–3 days

• Resume desk work in 2–3 days and full activities within 1 week

• Final contour visible within 3–4 weeks as swelling subsides

• Minimal scarring that fades over time

• Follow-up appointments ensure smooth healing and natural results
