What are accessory breasts?

Accessory breasts are a physical characteristic found exclusively in women.
Typically, women have one pair of breasts, but accessory breasts refer to having an additional pair naturally located in the armpit area.
It is crucial to completely remove the mammary gland tissue.

What causes accessory breasts?

During fetal development, 3 to 4 pairs of mammary glands initially form in the womb.
Typically, all but one pair regress before birth. However, one additional pair may remain hidden and enlarge visibly
due to hormonal changes from menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause.

Precision & Safety from Planning to Post-Op

High-Definition Ultrasound Examination System

For accessory breast surgery, an ultrasound examination is essential.

Why is an Ultrasound Examination necessary?

Accessory breasts consist of not only fat but also glandular tissue.
A pre-surgery ultrasound examination is essential to accurately assess
the extent of fat and glandular tissue for precise treatment planning.
