Some individuals develop excess breast tissue or fatty fullness in the underarm (axillary) region, commonly known as axillary breast tissue or accessory breast tissue. This condition may cause discomfort, cosmetic concerns, irritation while wearing fitted clothing, or swelling during hormonal changes.
At our clinic in Bhubaneswar, we offer Axillary Breast Removal Surgery using personalized surgical techniques to remove excess tissue and improve the contour of the underarm area while prioritizing safety, functionality, and aesthetic outcomes.
