Can accessory breast removal be minimally invasive? Is accessory breast removal minimally invasive or surgical?

Accessory breast removal can be done minimally invasively, but this generally depends on the patient's specific conditions and still needs to be judged by the doctor in person. Some people can do it, while others don't need to do it minimally invasively.

Accessory breast is a very common breast deformity. Whether minimally invasive surgery can be performed depends on the location and size of the accessory breast.

If the accessory breast is large and affects the patient's life or mood, minimally invasive surgery can be performed, which will cause less damage to the patient. If the doctor thinks that minimally invasive surgery is too difficult, then conventional surgery will be performed to completely remove it. The surgery is usually performed 3 to 5 days after the end of menstruation, and recovery after the operation is also faster.

Both methods of accessory breast removal are actually acceptable. Open surgery will result in a cleaner removal, while minimally invasive surgery will leave less obvious scars, so it depends on your personal preference.

Accessory breast mainly refers to the appearance of breast tissue in abnormal locations, which manifests as local lumps. Local swelling, pain and discomfort will occur during the menstrual cycle. The more common sites of occurrence are the bilateral armpits, which can occur unilaterally or bilaterally.

1. Bandages are required after surgery. Bandages will be placed on the shoulders and back, which may affect dressing.

2. Take antibiotics orally for 4-5 days.

3. You can resume your daily light physical work after one week.

4. The area needs to be bandaged with pressure for about a week. If you feel tightness when lying flat, you can rest in a semi-recumbent position.

5. Depending on the situation during the operation, a drainage strip may be left in the wound after the operation, which is usually removed after 24 to 48 hours.

6. Avoid activities that involve raising the upper limbs within 2 weeks after surgery, and avoid excessive activities of the upper limbs within 1 month after surgery, such as upper limb sports (playing ball, swimming), driving, lifting heavy objects, etc.

First, it causes bleeding problems. Because the pectoralis major muscle and the posterior space of the breast are potential cavities, bleeding may occur, so everyone must be mentally prepared.

Second, infection. Although in most cases, mastectomy will not lead to infection, if the water used to inject the prosthesis is not properly disinfected, it may lead to bacterial problems.

Third, incision dehiscence. This usually occurs when the lower wrinkle incision is adopted. The reason for this may be that the prosthesis is too large or the gap in the separation cavity is too small. Of course, it may also be caused by incision infection.
