Understanding Accessory Breast Tissue

Causes of Accessory Breast Tissue

Accessory breasts can generally develop in two ways, depending on the cause.

CASE 1

Accessory breast tissue develops naturally, resulting in an additional area of glandular breast tissue near the armpit.

CASE 2

Fatty tissue in the armpit area becomes more prominent or protrudes, creating an appearance similar to accessory breast tissue.

Who May Benefit from Accessory Breast Tissue Removal

Those who have a lump beneath the armpit

Those who have a mass or swelling in the armpit area

Those who notice unusual changes or discomfort in the armpit before or after menstruation

Those who experience discharge from the armpit

Accessory Breast Tissue Removal at BongBong

Complete removal of glandular breast tissue

Liposuction around the glandular tissue

Minimally invasive surgery through an incision of 2 cm or less

If any glandular breast tissue remains, accessory breast tissue may recur. Therefore, treatment involves completely removing the excess glandular breast tissue.


Fat is also present above the glandular tissue. This fat is separate from the subcutaneous fat beneath the skin, so the fat surrounding the glandular tissue in the accessory breast area must also be removed to properly correct the contour.


During accessory breast tissue removal surgery, the incision is minimized to make the scar as inconspicuous as possible.
