Introduction to accessory breast removal surgery

Among adult female or male mammary glands, only one pair located between the fifth ribs develops normally. If a pair of mammary glands on the "milk line" does not atrophy in time and continues to develop, accessory breasts will be formed after birth. This may happen to both boys and girls, but the chance of occurrence in women is greater than that in men. Since accessory breasts will have certain side effects on the body, accessory breast removal surgery is required. Let us take a look at the relevant introduction of accessory breast removal surgery below.

1What are the types of accessory breasts?

Accessory breasts can be divided into two types: complete and incomplete. The complete type refers to those with complete glands, nipples and areolas; the incomplete type refers to those with incomplete nipples, areolas and mammary glands. Those occurring in the armpits are often complete types and are larger in size. They may swell or become painful before menstruation, increase significantly during pregnancy, and may cause lactation during lactation.

2Who needs surgery?

Frequent illness and discomfort before menstruation; abnormal lumps and tumors in the accessory breast; because the accessory breast is large, it affects the appearance; other than this, the accessory breast does not require surgical removal.

3. Preoperative preparation

Comprehensive physical examination and testing showed no serious medical diseases or local infection foci. Contraceptives and estrogen should be stopped one month before surgery. Drugs such as aspirin are prone to cause bleeding from wounds. Surgery should be avoided during the menstrual period.

4 Postoperative Care

Minimize activity after surgery and avoid touching the surgical site. It is strictly forbidden to touch the wound with your hands within seven days after the operation. And avoid getting the surgical incision area wet. Keep the surgical site clean to prevent infection. Antibiotics are given for 3-5 days to prevent infection. It is strictly forbidden to do chest expansion exercises within one month. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.

5 Advantages of resection surgery

The incision of accessory breast removal is concealed, and the incision line is located within the natural fold of the armpit, so no surgical scar will be left on the chest after the operation; local anesthetic swelling fluid is injected into the accessory breast during the accessory breast removal operation, so there is very little bleeding during the operation; the skin will not show obvious wrinkles after the accessory breast removal operation; for patients with axillary odor, the accessory breast removal operation can be performed at the same time, and the axillary odor can also be effectively removed without affecting the surgical results.

I believe that after reading the introduction of accessory breast removal surgery, everyone has some understanding of it. Every surgery has risks. If necessary and people suffering from this disease should seek medical treatment in time, it is not only for beauty, but also for our health. I hope these can help you, and everyone can also provide some information for the patients around them, so that more people can understand the content of accessory breast removal surgery.
