Accessory Breast Removal Surgery

Some women find that their accessory breasts are getting bigger and bigger, which has a serious impact on them, so they choose to undergo accessory breast removal surgery. This type of surgery is not a big one and can be done through a relatively safe surgical procedure. It only requires a small incision and generally takes about a week to ten days to recover. However, when choosing to have this type of surgery, you must go to a regular large hospital. It is best not to go to a beauty salon, after all, it is safer in the hospital.

1. How many days does it take to recover from accessory breast removal surgery?

Accessory mastectomy requires making a small incision in the armpit. After freeing the skin flap, the glandular tissue and excess skin are completely removed to achieve the purpose of smoothing the local tissue. If the nipple and areola are present at the same time, they will be removed together. Accessory breast removal surgery is not complicated and can usually be performed under local anesthesia.

The stitches can be removed 7-10 days after surgery

After accessory breast removal surgery, the wound needs to be bandaged for 7-10 days. At this time, the incision is basically healed, the stitches can be removed, and normal work and life can be gradually resumed. But be careful not to engage in strenuous exercise or body collisions, as it will take some time for the internal structures to heal.

It takes about a month to recover

After accessory breast removal, it takes about 3-4 weeks for the internal structure and tissue to heal. Of course, the specific recovery time is related to the size of the accessory breast and personal constitution. However, except for wound infection which will prolong the recovery period, under normal circumstances, health can be basically restored in about a month.

2. How to recover quickly after accessory breast removal

1. Ice

Applying ice to the surgical area after surgery can help reduce swelling and relieve pain.

2. Do not lift heavy objects

After removing the accessory breast, take rest. Do not lift heavy objects, do not do strenuous exercise, and avoid collisions within 2 weeks to prevent pulling on the wound and affecting recovery.

3. Avoid contact with water within one week.

3. Harms of accessory breast removal surgery

1. Spend money without negotiation

The cost of a breast surgery can easily reach tens of thousands of yuan, and a slightly better hospital will cost 20,000 yuan or even more, not including the cost of a week's hospital stay and postoperative recuperation. In short, since breast surgery is a money-making project for hospitals and plastic surgery institutions, of course they will "rip you off" without negotiation!

2. Sequelae are inevitable

Surgery is risky. Accessory breast removal is often accompanied by sequelae such as hematoma, infection, and incision rupture. In addition, it also has the disadvantages of leaving ugly scars and a long recovery period.

3. Relapse is absolute

Since accessory breasts are actually formed due to the blockage of the axillary lymph nodes and the accumulation of metabolites to form lumps, surgical resection will cut off the axillary lymph drainage ducts, which will not only make it impossible to completely reduce the accessory breasts, but will also cause the accessory breasts to form again in a short period of time. Traditional Chinese medicine can relieve the meridians and activate the collaterals, promote blood circulation and relieve blood stasis, open up the lymphatic drainage ducts, allow fluids to flow unobstructed, and allow metabolic products to be discharged, thus preventing and eliminating accessory breast cancer.

4. Life will be difficult for a few days after the operation.

The surgery is usually done in the armpit or pre-axillary area, and the wound is bandaged, which makes it inconvenient to move the arm. There are also many taboos, such as not eating spicy food and not taking a bath. If you are not careful, postoperative wound infection is likely to occur.

5. Not aesthetically pleasing.

Although the wound is hidden in a hidden place - the armpit, it does not mean it does not exist. When attending important occasions, wearing a strapless evening dress will give the scar a chance to show up. The same is true in summer. Suspenders and tube tops can only be removed. The only way to eliminate scars is to buy special scar removal products, which will be another expense.

6. Cause breast diseases

It is easy to confuse fat and accessory breast tissue during surgery, and mistake fat for breast tissue. In addition, part of the lymphatic drainage ducts will be cut off during surgery. We all know that breast metabolites are transported by lymph. Cutting off the lymphatic ducts will cause breast metabolites to be retained, causing breast diseases.
