Also known as an armpit lump or underarm lump, an axillary breast lump is the growth of lymph nodes, fat tissues, or breast glandular tissues in the axilla (underarm). This tissue growth can be temporary or long-lasting depending on the cause. In the beginning, the lump only affects the aesthetic of the person but over time, the lump may also start to cause pain and irritation.
If you have excess tissues in the axilla and want to get rid of them, you can rely on Pristyn Care doctors. We employ the minimally invasive liposuction technique to remove the fat tissues and the minimal excision technique to remove the glandular tissues and lymph nodes.
