The difference between fake and real accessory breasts

True and false accessory breasts are two different forms of manifestation. True accessory breasts are congenital and are the same as breasts. They have tissues such as mammary glands and can develop under the influence of various hormones. They can develop into the same form as breasts. However, false accessory breasts do not have mammary glands and are mainly caused by enlarged lymph nodes or increased fat. Therefore, false accessory breasts do not have the function of breasts, but they can also develop.

The difference between fake and real accessory breasts

True accessory breast: It is natural and has mammary glands like normal breasts. It is affected by various hormones and may cause swelling and pain before menstruation.

False accessory breasts: acquired, caused by increased fat under the armpits or poor posture and lifestyle (not wearing underwear properly, etc.). They usually appear sagging after wearing underwear and are painless.

Causes of false and true accessory breasts

Pseudo-accessory breast: It is mostly caused by acquired obesity or improper dressing, which leads to local fat accumulation on the outer chest or armpits. Acquired pseudo-accessory breast is mostly caused by acquired obesity which will cause local fat on the outer chest or armpits over a long period of time.

True accessory breast: mainly caused by congenital factors, with breast tissue developing into extra breasts or nipples after birth. Most congenital accessory breasts have mammary tissue, some of which may become swollen and painful during menstruation, pregnancy and lactation, and some nipples may even secrete milk. Therefore, if you want to confirm whether it is accessory breast, you need to go to a professional hospital and have a professional doctor check it out.

Common treatments for false breasts

1. Surgical treatment: effective

If the accessory breast tissue under the armpit is indeed large and seriously affects the appearance, surgical removal can be chosen. The incision is made in the skin folds of the armpit, which is minimally invasive, but a drainage tube needs to be placed for several days after the operation to relax the skin and better fit the top of the armpit. Due to the special location of the incision, try to avoid hot weather to prevent sweat from affecting the incision. At the same time, the surgery has high requirements and there is a certain risk of damaging the axillary blood vessels. Be sure to choose a regular and qualified hospital for the surgery.

2. Shaping underwear: no therapeutic effect

No matter what principle the merchants advocate, shaping underwear is completely incapable of treating accessory breast glands. Don't be misled by advertisements. As for whether the breast shape can be achieved, it depends on the location of the accessory breast. Some accessory breasts are closer to the arms, in which case this type of bra will not change the appearance at all. Moreover, underwear that is too tight will compress the armpits, which will hinder the smooth flow of breast lymph or compress the brachial plexus nerves, causing breast swelling and numbness and discomfort in the arms.
