Accessory Breast Surgery (Axillary/Accessory Breast Tissue Removal) in South Korea

Accessory breast surgery removes excess breast tissue that develops outside the normal breast area—most commonly in the armpit (axilla) along the embryologic “milk line.” Treatment options include liposuction, energy-assisted liposuction (e.g., radiofrequency), direct excision of gland/fat ± skin (“axillaplasty”), or combinations, tailored to the amount of tissue and skin redundancy. Goals are to relieve discomfort (tenderness, swelling with hormonal changes, chafing), improve arm mobility and clothing fit, and create a smooth underarm/breast-sidewall contour.
