Learn more about the amazing results Dr. Preminger has achieved with accessory breast tissue surgery.
Accessory Breast Tissue Surgery
Men and women with axillary breast tissue often feel uncomfortable with their bodies and wish to have the abnormal growths removed. The good news is that these displaced mounds of tissue are almost always benign and non-cancerous, and accessory breast tissue surgery yields excellent results. Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Preminger is sympathetic to all that you’ve been through and uses her tremendous surgical skills to improve your quality of life and confidence.
“Accessory breast tissue, or underarm fat, is often genetic – a lot of family members, mothers and daughters, can actually have the same problem,” explains Dr. Preminger, who offers CoolSculpting, liposuction or breast tissue removal surgery to treat axillary breast tissue. “The patients are so happy that they finally had this done, I’ve taken care of mothers and daughters – I’ve taken care of the mother first and the daughter has come to me and said, ‘I’ve had this problem my whole life and I didn’t know that anything could be done for it.’”
As with any surgical procedure, axillary breast tissue removal begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Preminger herself. She will ask you questions regarding your medical history and determine if you are at risk for complications. During this time, the surgeon will answer any questions you may have regarding the procedure itself, the recovery, or payment options.
Axillary Breast Tissue Removal Procedure
In the past, breast tissue was removed along with adjacent fat tissue and excess skin using general open surgery, which left a long, ugly scar. Today, surgeons use a minimally invasive method for axillary breast tissue removal. A minimal incision is made and the tumescent liposuction technique aspirates the breast and fat tissue.
When nipples or areolas are present, the surgeon excises them after the liposuction portion of the procedure is done. Extra skin is removed using a small fusiform incision. Common side effects are tiredness, numbness and tingling down the arm, mild swelling, and constipation.
