The best age for accessory breast removal

Regardless of the impact of underarm accessory breast on appearance or on physical and mental health, everyone always wants to remove underarm accessory breast as soon as possible. So when is the best time to perform accessory breast removal surgery? Many people may not know this question, so let’s take a detailed look at it below.

Axillary accessory breast is congenitally incompletely developed breast tissue, and its location varies from person to person. Some people's axillary accessory breasts grow in hidden areas with inconspicuous shapes and sizes, so they think it is unnecessary to remove them. However, some people insist on removing them for a more aesthetic effect.

So when is the best time to have a mastectomy?

1. If you want to look beautiful, there is no fixed time for mastectomy surgery. As long as you choose a reliable breast augmentation and plastic surgery hospital to perform accessory breast removal surgery, the expert will determine whether you are suitable for accessory breast removal surgery based on your specific situation, and then conduct a preoperative examination to determine the best time to perform the accessory breast removal surgery. You don't need to worry.

2. The accessory breast under the armpit may develop into a malignant tumor. Although some accessory breasts under the armpit are relatively small, they will be accompanied by repeated menstrual cycles, and the accessory breasts under the armpit will show obvious symptoms such as swelling and pain. At this time, you need to go to the hospital for relevant breast examinations to prevent the occurrence of malignant tumors. If this situation cannot be stopped for a long time, experts suggest that it is best to undergo a mastectomy to avoid causing greater harm to the body. For example, a rapidly expanding lump appears in the accessory breast of the armpit, accompanied by swelling of the surrounding lymph nodes, which may be diagnosed as breast cancer. In this case, it is necessary to immediately perform a mastectomy to remove the underarm accessory breast.

2. The type and size of breast prosthesis used in accessory mastectomy surgery is determined based on the patient's own standards and requirements;

3. Before the mastectomy, a comprehensive physical examination should be performed to check if there are no serious medical diseases or local infections;

4. Surgical treatment of accessory mastectomy should be performed without taking place during the menstrual cycle.
