Axillary Breast Removal Surgery
Axillary breast removal surgery, also known as accessory breast removal surgery or axillary breast tissue excision, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue from the armpit area. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about an hour to complete.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the armpit area and removes the excess breast tissue. The incision is then closed with sutures or surgical adhesive. The surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, which means that the patient can go home on the same day as the surgery.
Axillary Breast Removal Surgery: Procedure
Axillary breast removal surgery is a straightforward procedure that can be performed in a hospital or a clinic under local or general anesthesia. The surgery involves making small incisions in the armpit area and removing the excess breast tissue through liposuction or surgical excision. The duration of the procedure depends on the amount of tissue to be removed and the chosen surgical technique.
During the initial consultation, your surgeon will examine your axillary area, discuss your expectations and medical history, and determine the appropriate surgical technique for your case. They will also give you pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications and arranging for a companion to drive you home after the surgery.
After the surgery, you will be monitored for a few hours to ensure that you are recovering well from the anesthesia and that there is no bleeding or infection. Your surgeon will give you post-operative instructions, such as wearing a compression garment and avoiding strenuous activities for a few weeks. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few days, but these are temporary and can be managed with pain medication.
The average cost range for this procedure in Mumbai is between INR 50,000 to INR 1, 50,000.

Additionally, women with axillary breast tissue may feel self-conscious and embarrassed about their appearance. This can affect their self-esteem and confidence, which can impact their personal and professional lives.
Another reason why women opt for axillary breast removal surgery is that the excess breast tissue can interfere with the fit of bras and clothing. This can make it difficult for women to find clothing that fits properly and feels comfortable.
Before the surgery, your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions to help you prepare. This may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the surgery.
It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and successful surgery. You should also arrange for someone to help you with everyday activities for the first few days after the surgery.
After the surgery, you will need to take some time to recover. The recovery time varies depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. However, most women are able to return to work and normal activities within a week or two.
During the recovery period, it is important to follow your surgeon's instructions carefully. This may include taking pain medication, wearing compression garments, and avoiding strenuous activities for a period of time.
