Breast tissue in underarm
I have a lump on my underarm. It is not painful but it is ugly and it makes me very self conscious. When I got pregnant it really got big and filled with milk my doctor said it was breaast tissue that traveled into my armpit and that as long as it didn't hurt it really wasn't anything to worry about. It just looks like extra baggy skin and as a result I can't wear sleeveless tops. I've never known anyone else who has this to ask what they think or feel. My husband thinks if it bothers me so much I shyould have it removed. I am scared and want to know what the health risks are. Does anyone else have this problem? Shat should I do about it?
wonderful news, i had my surgury on Friday, March 25th. heres how it went. i arrived at the hospital for 1pm, signed my consent forms, had my incisions drawn and changed clothes for the surgery. At approx. 2:20 i was escorted to the operating theatre where i was prepped and then injected. i awoke at approx. 5:30pm in the recovery room and was totally pain free. i did however have some obvious discomfort as expected. i could comfortably raise my hands above my head but had some difficulty reaching lower to my feet. I was discharged at approx. 6:30pm with a perscription for some paracetamol and morbid. (never heard abour that one Before) After reaching home and having my forst eats, nothing too heave, i promptly vomited and then my stomach settled. on saturday morning i was able to attend a wedding and a party on Saturday night. In no way was my movements restricted. Immediately i can see the differrence under my armpit. My doctor die the incision a little ways under the armoit line so it is closer to my breasts but still not too visible. i have to remove teh slight bandage tomorrow( Tuesday) but alreadu i am so happy with the results. Will post photos later
Hi all! i had my operation i December!m am an African from Uganda i had to save for about 5 years to get the money for the operation. Am not so happy coz i still experience some pains that come lie shocks, one side i think the tissue didn't get finished its swollen and
pains just like the tissues that was there, i have big scars that have swollen. i think i have to save for another operation am so sad.
My doctor in Mulago Private still consoles that all will be well after a year. I cant Wear a sleeveless like i had dreamt , scars i thought i was going to look like a c section not even noticed but no the doctor didnt cut the line well, i dont look good every one notices it! a cut stretching all through to the back i can wear sleeveless. 1,244 dollars thats 3 millions shilllings a lot of money in Uganda i sacrificed a lot to save that but only one side is a bit okay other no! Its still big and pains like before the Doctor explained it was a little complicated on that side. Aren't there International doctors who can help. Please let me know like some doctors all over the world visit and offer free operations on eyes and all other things what about us we need help! can some one advise or help!
i tested for cancer and i was lucky the mass from one side was carried to A Hospital in the USA that works with them. it was really big i saw it! but the doctor didnt show me the other that disturbed him.
Am so depressed! The piercing pains, huge scars swelling on one side and i dont have money nor medical insurance i need GOD'S GRACE!

Hi, I too have the same problem. I got this due to weight gain, and i reduced well. but except this tissue. And i have very mild pain when i close to my menstrual cycles. I'm planning to get removed this.
Does it cause any side effect since it's close to our beast?
Pls help me with ur comments. Am little worried.

I posted a few weeks back...My insurance approved this surgery today! I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield and live in SC. I will post info about my procedure when I know more. This site was extremely helpful over the last couple of years and I hope my experience can help someone else!
