The treatment depends on the size of the accessory breast. When the axillary breast is a small swelling without much skin excess it can be removed safely by liposuction.
When the swelling is big, with skin excess it is removed by excision. The scar is usually hidden in the armpit crease.
Recovery after surgery is rapid. Strenuous exercise should be avoided. Results are evident immediately after surgery, there will be a mild swelling which will subside in 48-72 hours post-surgery.
