Breast tissue in the axillary (underarm) area is called axillary breast fat. A fatty tissue hangs around the armpit which is very discomforting for females both cosmetically and symptomatically. This condition is quite common and can affect people of any gender, but it is more commonly seen in women assigned female at birth.
Breast tissue that grows outside the typical breast limits, frequently into the underarm region, is called axillary breast tissue.
This tissue may be made up of glandular tissue, fatty tissue, or both. Due to hormonal changes that may cause it to expand, it might vary in size and form and may become more apparent during puberty, pregnancy, or nursing.

Treatment Options to Remove Axillary Breast Tissue
The size, pain, and aesthetic issues related to the problem are often taken into account while determining the best course of action for axillary breast tissue removal.
The following are some typical methods for treating axillary breast tissue:
For those who experience pain, discomfort, or aesthetic difficulties, surgical removal of axillary breast tissue, also known as axillary breast tissue excision, is a common and successful therapeutic option.
An incision is made in the axillary region, extra tissue is cut off, and then the incision is stitched up. Depending on the size and location of the tissue, a different surgical approach may be performed.
Under general or local anesthesia, this procedure is normally carried out by a plastic surgeon or breast surgeon, and it is frequently done as an outpatient procedure.
This procedure may be used to get rid of extra fatty tissue in the axilla. It involves inserting a tiny tube (cannula) to suction out fat, which is less invasive than surgical excision. Liposuction is typically better suited for people with axillary tissue that is primarily fatty rather than glandular.
If there is both fatty and glandular tissue present, a combination of surgical excision and liposuction may be used to get the best results.
