    FAQ's

    The development of accessory breast tissue is a congenital physical abnormality in which additional breast tissues are present at anywhere other than the breasts. These tissues are seen as a mass.

    The location of the accessory breast tissues may be anywhere along the embryologic mammary streak that is also known as the thoracoabdominal region of the milk-line. However, the accessory breast tissues are commonly found in one axilla or both axillae (armpits).

    They are rarely seen in other locations, such as – 

    • Chest wall
    • Vulva
    • Lateral thigh
    • Knee
    • Buttock
    • Face
    • Ear
    • Neck

    Yes; men may have accessory breast tissues along with the women. The percentage (1%-3%) of men with accessory breast tissues is lower than percentage (2%-6%) of women with the similar condition.

    Accessory breast tissues can be removed through minimally invasive accessory breast surgery. The accessory breast tissues are usually removed via tumescent liposuction technique. However, it may become necessary to excise the additional tissues after the liposuction.

    • A small incision is made at the location where excess breast tissues are found.
    • Tumescent liposuction is performed in order to aspirate the breast tissues and fat tissue.
    • If there is additional tissue after the liposuction, then this is removed via incision.
    • Excess skin can be removed via minimal fusiform incision.
    • Local anesthesia is used during liposuction and general anesthesia is used during excision.

    No; accessory breast tissues are usually benign (non-cancerous). However, it becomes an aesthetic concern for the individuals with this congenital abnormality, and accessory breast tissue surgery is performed to remove this unsightly mass.

    At Cutis, experienced cosmetic surgeons perform the liposuction or minimally invasive procedure. They ensure the best possible aesthetic outcome through removal of the accessory breast tissues whilst ensuring minimum scarring. Some improvements will be immediately noticeable after the surgical procedure. However, you have to wait for the swelling resulting from the surgery to subside in order to notice the real outcome of this surgical procedure.

    It is a minimally invasive procedure. At Cutis, expert surgeons and qualified nursing staff try to minimize the complications of the procedure as much as possible. However, some patients may notice the following complications after the surgical procedure:.

    • Infection
    • Wound separation
