  • What is Axillary Breast Lump Removal Surgery?

    Axillary breast lump removal surgery is the procedure to remove the remove excess tissues from the axilla, i.e., armpit whether they are breast glandular tissues, lymph nodes, or fat tissues. The procedure usually involves a combination of liposuction and excision surgery. In some cases, each of these techniques can be used alone to remove the underarm lump. 

    The growth of breast tissues in the underarm region can cause both cosmetic and physical concerns. Some people manage the condition in the earlier stages when the growth is not that significant. But over time, the tissues in the armpit become clearly visible and start affecting the mobility of the arm too.

    What happens if axillary breast tissue is left untreated?

    One of the symptoms of axillary breast tissue is having pain in the underarm and the tissues become engorged, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If the tissues are left as they are, they might continue to grow and become more problematic. Not to mention that it limits the choice of apparel, leads to poor arm posture, and causes excessive sweating and stickiness in the region.

    In some cases, other conditions like lipomas, liposarcoma, cysts, or other skin issues may go undetected if the underarm lump is not treated on time. To prevent this from happening, it is important to see a doctor and get diagnosed.

    What happens in Axillary Breast Lump Treatment?

    Diagnosis

    There are several conditions that can be confused with axillary breasts, such as lymphadenopathy, lipoma, malignancy, sebaceous cyst, vascular malformation, etc. 

    For proper diagnosis, the doctor will first physically examine the tissues and suggest the following tests for an accurate diagnosis- 

    • Ultrasonography of the axilla to determine the nature of the swelling, identify its contents, and ensure that there is no vascular connection. 
    • Color Doppler test is recommended to see if there is vascular swelling. 
    • Mammography is done as a routine exam to rule out breast pathology. 
    • MRI scan may be suggested in some cases if additional pathology, such as tubercular lymphadenopathy or malignancy is suspected. 

     

    Procedure

    Based on the results of the diagnostic tests, the most appropriate technique is used for axillary breast tissue removal. The procedure is carried out in the following steps- 

    • General anesthesia is administered to put the patient to sleep. 
    • Marking of the targeted area is done. The lax skin is pinched and an ellipse is formed in the direction of maximum laxity to identify the excised skin. The palpable gland is marked with dotted lines. If the axillary folds are too bulky, they will also be marked. 
    • Subdermal infiltration is done for the incision. If liposuction is planned after excision, the marking is done pre-operatively. 
    • Meticulous dissection of the tissues is done to separate the breast tissues while preserving every nerve. The lymph nodes and axillary pad of fat are also preserved. 
    • Once the mammary tissues are identified, it is ligated and excised carefully. 
    • After excision, the arm is abducted and temporary staplers are used to to secure the position of sutures.
    • Liposuction is used to remove the dog ear (the protruding residual breast tissue). 
    • Sutures are used to close the incisions. If necessary, drains may also be placed before suturing. 

    The entire procedure will take around 60 to 90 minutes to complete. The surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. The surgery has no aesthetic downside as the incision is also placed smartly in the arm crease which conceals the surgery scar until it heals.

    Risks & Complications

    Typically, axillary breast tissue removal surgery is a safe procedure. But like all surgical procedures, there are some common risks- 

    Most of these complications can be avoided by a skilled surgeon.

    How to prepare for the surgery?

    To prepare for the surgery, the surgeon will give you the necessary instructions. The preparation will start by gathering the medical history of the patient. You should provide a list of all medications you are taking, including the prescribed and OTC medications.

    The doctor and his team will provide further instructions before the surgery- 

    Some other things that you should remember are wearing comfortable clothes to the hospital and taking only the essential supplies to the hospital. Also, ask someone to accompany you to the hospital.

    What to expect after the surgery?

    Immediately after the surgery, you can expect to feel slightly disordered and nauseated due to the side effects of anesthesia. You will wake up either in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) or your recovery room. The nursing staff will keep a track of your body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels. 

    Before you wake up, pain medications will be given to you through the IV. The doctor will see you and ask some questions to ensure that you are not feeling severe pain. The necessary medications will be provided and the doctor will give instructions to change the dressing. The schedule for post-surgery follow-up will also be given before discharge. As soon as your discharge papers are ready, you can go home.

    The results of axillary breast tissue removal surgery (axillaplasty) will take some time to become clearly visible. There will be swelling in the surgical site but you will notice that the lump in the arm is no longer there. During the recovery period, as the scar tissue starts to form around the incisions, the range of motion of the arm and shoulder may be restricted for some time. The tissues will become soft in the upcoming weeks and you will regain your arm mobility.

    FAQ Around Axillary Breast

    When should I take follow-ups after axillary breast removal?

    Generally, your follow-up appointment will be scheduled within 1 or 2 weeks after the surgery. The doctor will monitor the recovery and see if there are chances of complications. If everything is fine, you may not require another follow-up.

    Is axillary breast tissue removal covered by insurance?

    Yes, insurance companies are likely to cover the expense of axillary breast tissue removal as the condition has both physical and cosmetic concerns. The amount of coverage will depend on the policy. Therefore, it will be best to talk to your insurance provider.

    When will the swelling from the underarm go away?

    The swelling after surgery will take around 2 weeks to subside. Throughout the healing period, it is important that you carefully follow the doctor’s instructions to recover as soon as possible.

    Do I have to wear a compression bra after axillaplasty?

    Yes, the doctor is likely to recommend wearing a compression bra for a few weeks after removing the axillary breast tissue. It will facilitate the retraction of the skin and enhance the results.

    Will the scars from the surgery be clearly visible?

    In the first few months, the scar will be noticeable. To reduce its appearance, you will have to follow the post-op wound care instructions carefully and keep the scars protected from direct sunlight. Using scar reduction creams may also help to reduce the scar’s visibility.

    Types of Surgery

    Liposuction

    This technique is used to target the fat tissues in the targeted area. It allows the surgeon to precisely target the areas that can be treated with liposuction alone.

    Excision

    This method is used for small masses that can be easily removed through a small incision. The scalpel is used to excise the tissues carefully without leaving a big scar in the underarm region. The axillary breast tissue usually contains a fair number of glandular structures.

    Axillaplasty (Combination of Excision & Liposuction)

    This type of surgical procedure is preferred for a large mass. The procedure involves correcting the overhang of fat and skin in the armpit area.
