Axillary Breast Tissue 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.Dr. Azouz, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas, performs axillary breast tissue removal to restore the armpits.

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.

Armpit Fat Removal Surgery in Dallas

Axillary breast tissue is removed via liposuction or direct excision. Liposuction is ideal for small to moderate tissue removal. Dr. Azouz, a Dallas plastic surgeon, specializes in liposuction, providing outstanding results with his advanced techniques. He offers for axillary breast tissue removal, tailored to individual needs.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular, less invasive method for removing breast tissue from the axilla. Small incisions are made under the arms, and a cannula is used to remove excess fat. 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

Dr. Azouz often recommends combining liposuction with excision of glandular axillary breast tissue and excess skin. Dr. Azouz will remove glandular axillary breast tissue after liposuction. A direct excision can enhance the contour and reshape the armpit. Dr. Azouz may recommend skin excision for sagging or loose skin.

Anesthesia for Axillary Breast Tissue Removal

Dr. Azouz avoids general anesthesia to prevent post-surgery nausea. Local anesthesia with sedation is used for underarm liposuction. This ensures patient safety and comfort during the procedure and may alleviate pain for up to 24 hours post-surgery.

What are the risks of surgery?

As with any surgical operation, some risks can include bleeding, infection, and numbness. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz uses meticulous techniques to minimize the risks of liposuction and axillary breast tissue removal.

Recovering from Underarm Fat Removal

Patients may experience soreness, bruising, and swelling after axillary breast tissue excision. Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz will offer clear post-operative guidance to promote recovery and minimize complications. Dr. Azouz recommends compression garments to reduce bruising and swelling. This helps with skin retraction after liposuction. Most people can resume regular activities within a few days to a week after surgery but should avoid intense exercise for a few weeks.

Underarm Liposuction Cost

Axillary breast tissue removal costs can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the operation, anesthesia costs, and surgical facility costs. During the consultation, Dr. Azouz will provide a personalized quote detailing each aspect of the procedure.

Surgeries That Can Be Combined with Armpit Liposuction

Axillary breast tissue excision can be paired with other cosmetic procedures such as breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast lift, or brachioplasty.

Depending on the procedures combined, Dr. Azouz can create fewer incision lines to help decrease scarring after surgery.
