Refine Your Silhouette
Stubborn underarm bulging is rarely just fat. Discover the permanent surgical solution to Accessory Breast Tissue (Polymastia) with Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Pawan Shahane.
Schedule Your Private ConsultationMany women spend hours at the gym targeting their arms and chest, only to remain frustrated by a persistent, fleshy bulge between their armpit and breast. This is commonly referred to as the "bra bulge." What most women do not realize is that this is often not just stubborn fatβit is Axillary Breast Tissue (Polymastia).
This is actual glandular breast tissue that extends into the armpit area. Because it is a gland, no amount of cardio or weightlifting will make it disappear. Dr. Pawan Shahane offers a rapid, virtually scarless surgical procedure to remove this tissue permanently, allowing you to wear sleeveless dresses and swimwear with absolute confidence.
How to distinguish it from regular armpit fat.
Because it is true breast tissue, it responds to your hormones. If your underarm bulge becomes tender, sore, or swollen right before your menstrual cycle, it is highly likely to be glandular tissue.
No matter what size bra you wear or how well it fits your chest, a distinct lump of flesh spills over the top outer edge of the cup, ruining the line of your clothing.
Normal fat feels soft and squishy. If you press into your armpit bulge and feel firm, ropey, or lumpy tissue beneath the surface, you are feeling the axillary gland.

Standard liposuction will fail on axillary breasts because the suction cannula cannot break down dense glandular tissue. Dr. Pawan utilizes a dual-approach to ensure a perfectly smooth contour.
First, advanced Vaser (ultrasound) liposuction is used to gently melt and remove the surrounding soft fatty tissue. This thins out the area and isolates the core gland.
A tiny incision (less than an inch) is made directly within the natural deep crease of the armpit. Through this hidden gateway, Dr. Pawan physically extracts the firm glandular tissue.
Because the incision is placed precisely in the axillary fold, it is completely hidden when your arms are down. Once fully healed, the fine line is virtually imperceptible.
