Is it better to remove the accessory breast or not? Will the removal of the accessory breast leave scars?

It is said that if you want to remove accessory breasts, surgery is the best option. However, accessory breasts do not affect your life much, so is it better to have them removed or not?

If accessory breasts appear, it is best to remove them, because accessory breasts may not only affect your appearance and make clothes look bad, but they may also cause lesions. After the operation, keep the area clean and avoid getting it wet to prevent infection.

There will usually be scars left after accessory breast surgery. Accessory breasts generally have no obvious clinical symptoms, and the chance of malignant transformation is not high. For these patients, no treatment is required and close observation is sufficient. Some patients have obvious pain symptoms or obvious lumps. For these patients with accessory breasts, accessory breast removal surgery can be performed. During the operation, a relatively hidden incision is usually selected according to the location of the accessory breast. However, as long as there is an incision, there will be scars left after the operation, especially for patients with scar-prone constitution, it may be more obvious. You can apply appropriate scar removal drugs to reduce the formation of scars.

Accessory breasts are a developmental malformation. If they are surgically removed, they will not grow back. Accessory breasts are also a congenital breast malformation because the human body only has one pair of breasts. If they appear in other parts, they are most common in the armpits, and sometimes in the chest or other parts. In most cases, there are no obvious symptoms, but there are lumps and bumps in other parts of the breast tissue. There are also some symptoms that may cause pain before menstruation. Accessory breasts do not require treatment because neither medication nor exercise is effective.

After the operation of accessory breast, it usually takes about 7 to 10 days to recover. You can return to normal work and life about 2 to 3 weeks after the operation. Accessory breast refers to the presence of extra breasts in addition to the normal pair of breasts. It can occur in the front armpit, underarm, abdomen, groin and other parts. After the operation, you need to rest appropriately and have regular follow-up visits for incision disinfection and dressing changes so that it can gradually heal.
