Unsightly Accessory Breasts, Why Do They Occur?

Accessory breasts are the proliferation of mammary gland tissue in areas other than the breast. They often appear as a bulge under the armpit and are mistaken for armpit fat, but they are actually remnants of mammary gland tissue that should have degenerated during the fetal stage. They often become more pronounced after childbirth.

In reality, accessory breasts can appear under the breast, on the upper arm, groin, flank, and armpit, but most degenerate, with remnants often found in the armpit and arm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are accessory breasts?

Accessory breasts are the proliferation of mammary gland tissue in areas other than the breast. They often appear as a bulge under the armpit and are mistaken for armpit fat, but this is due to mammary gland tissue that should have degenerated during the fetal stage. They tend to become more pronounced after childbirth.

Why do accessory breasts occur?

Accessory breasts occur because mammary gland tissue that should have degenerated during the fetal stage remains. They are often found in the armpit and arm, and frequently become more severe after childbirth due to hormonal changes.

When should I consider accessory breast removal?

You may consider accessory breast removal if you hesitate to wear sleeveless tops due to protruding accessory breasts, if armpit fat bulges out after childbirth, if you feel a hard lump when touching your armpit, or if you experience pain in your armpit according to your menstrual cycle.

How does Melon Plastic Surgery perform accessory breast removal?

At Melon Plastic Surgery, an experienced breast surgeon accurately identifies the surgical area through ultrasound diagnosis. Then, mammary gland tissue is safely and precisely removed to minimize recurrence, and surgical marks are minimized with micro-incisions and micro-sutures to create a smooth breast line.

Can breast augmentation and accessory breast removal be done simultaneously?

Yes, it is possible. Melon Plastic Surgery has cases where breast augmentation and accessory breast removal were performed concurrently. By removing the lumpy accessory breasts along with breast augmentation, you can achieve a more perfect and smooth breast line.

What is the recovery period after accessory breast removal?

According to the review photos in this article, the swelling subsided quickly at the 2-week post-operative mark. While individual differences may exist, it is mentioned that this patient at Melon Plastic Surgery experienced faster swelling reduction compared to other patients.
