How it works
How does Accessory Breast Removal work?
There are 2 procedures available to remove accessory breast tissue which are liposuction and excision. The choice of procedure depends on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed and the doctor’s discretion.
- Liposuction is used if a small amount of tissue needs to be removed. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and a small incision is placed in an area that can be hidden such as the natural crease in the skin. A cannula will be inserted into the incision and the tissue will be removed through the tube.
- Excision is used if more tissue needs to be removed. As with liposuction, the incision will be made in an inconspicuous area and will be kept as small as possible to lessen the chances of scarring. Once the tissue is removed,the skin is then closed up with fine sutures leaving little or no scar.
