Axillary breast removal is a specialised aesthetic procedure designed to remove excess breast tissue present in the underarm (axillary) area. This condition can cause discomfort, restricted arm movement, and difficulty wearing fitted clothing. At Dr. Jem Aesthetic Studio, axillary breast removal is performed using safe, medically approved techniques to achieve a smoother underarm contour and improved comfort with natural-looking results.
Axillary breast tissue, also known as the axillary tail of the breast, is an extension of breast tissue that develops in the underarm region. This tissue may become more noticeable during hormonal changes, weight gain, or pregnancy. Unlike underarm fat, axillary breast tissue does not reduce with exercise or weight loss and may require medical intervention for effective correction.
