How Accessory Breast/Nipple Excision is performed
The surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, and the accessory breast tissue or nipple/areola complex can be excised as needed. A small incision is usually made along the skin lines or hidden folds, the excess glandular and fibrous tissue is dissected and removed, hemostasis is meticulously performed, and drainage is placed if necessary and sent for pathology. Postoperative pressure dressings and monitoring for bleeding and swelling are performed, with the goal of relieving symptoms and optimizing contour.
