Axillary Tail Excision – Restoring Smooth Contours and Confidence
What is Axillary Tail Excision?
We define the axillary tail as the extension of breast tissue that can sit under the arm. Axillary tail excision is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove this excess tissue and improve the silhouette of the chest and underarm area. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, Dr. S. Sivakumar specializes in achieving natural, balanced results.
Overview
Many patients seeking axillary tail excision feel self-conscious about underarm bulges that resist diet and exercise. This procedure refines the side profile, enhances clothing fit, and restores confidence.
Causes
While genetics plays a major role, other contributing factors include:
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Weight gain and subsequent localized fat accumulation
- Age-related changes in breast tissue distribution
Solutions
Axillary tail excision can be offered alone or combined with other breast procedures. Our tailored approach may include:
- Liposuction to contour fatty tissue
- Direct excision of glandular tissue
- Scar-minimizing closure techniques
Types of Axillary Tail Excision
- Liposuction-only excision – for predominantly fatty axillary tails
- Open excision – for mixed glandular and fatty tissue
- Combined approach – liposuction plus direct removal
Types of Treatments
We customize treatments based on:
- The patient’s anatomy and goals
- Skin elasticity
- Volume of tissue to be removed
Types of Stages
- Stage 1: Consultation and assessment of axillary tail prominence
- Stage 2: Treatment planning, medical clearance, and preoperative marking
- Stage 3: Surgery under local or general anesthesia
- Stage 4: Postoperative care and follow-up
Surgery Procedures and Recovery Time
The excision typically takes 60–90 minutes. After the procedure:
- Patients wear a compression garment for 1–2 weeks
- Light activities can resume in 3–5 days
- Return to full exercise by 4–6 weeks
