Axillary breast manifests as swelling in the axillary (armpit) region. The severity can range from a subtle bulge to a loose, baggy fold. This swelling typically results from an extension of breast tissue from the outer and upper quadrants of the breast. Axillaplasty is a surgical procedure to address these concerns and improve the overall appearance and comfort. It is an effective solution to enhance the aesthetics of your arm contour.
This usually takes one to two hours and is typically performed under general anaesthesia. Dr Pinky will make an incision in the underarm, removing excess fat or muscle and tightening the skin, leaving you with beautifully contoured underarms that enhance your overall aesthetic. An incision will be closed with sutures. This procedure can be done on one or both underarms, with incision length varying based on the amount of tissue to remove.
Recovery from axillaplasty is generally quick and straightforward. Follow Dr Pinky’s instructions carefully during your recovery to ensure a smooth recovery. For the first few days, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in your underarm area. It will subside within a few weeks. Avoid strenuous activity for several weeks after surgery. You may also need to wear a support bra to help reduce swelling while it heals.
