Axilla Lift

Up to six percent of women develop axillary tissue in the underarm area, interfering with the fit of undergarments and causing irritation due to friction. Removing this skin can restore comfort and confidence.

Your Desired Body Contour

Breast tissue can occasionally develop outside the breast area. This tissue, known as axillary tissue, is denser and thicker than the surrounding tissue, with its prominence most noticeable when your arms are resting at your sides. If axillary tissue impacts your self-confidence, schedule a consultation at Athēnix to enhance your desired body contour.

What is an Axilla Lift?

Excess skin and fat in the underarm area can lead to discomfort and self-consciousness. Axillary skin removal is a surgical technique designed to tighten and reshape the skin on the underarms. It is popular for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, breastfeeding, or sagging skin due to aging.

The Benefits of Axilla Lift

Many patients seek skin removal because they’ve been dealing with the physical discomfort and unwanted appearance of excess axillary skin, prompting them to avoid sleeveless attire to conceal it. Enjoy the following benefits of skin removal.

Improved aesthetics: Patients notice a more aesthetically pleasing contour and shape, enhancing their overall appearance and body confidence.
Elimination of chafing: Removal of excess axillary tissue reduces clothing-related chafing and discomfort, providing relief during daily activities.
Increased self-confidence: With a smoother, more contoured appearance, individuals experience increased self-assurance, making them feel more comfortable in their skin.
Enhanced wardrobe possibilities: Axillary skin removal enables patients to confidently wear sleeveless tops and dresses, expanding their wardrobe choices and enhancing their joy in the world.

How it Works

Athēnix provides two treatment options for axillary tissue removal: liposuction and surgical excision. Each procedure takes approximately one hour, and the choice depends on the tissue volume requiring removal.

Liposuction Excision

Liposuction

For cases involving a small amount of tissue, liposuction is performed under local anesthesia through a discreet incision concealed in a natural skin crease. A cannula is inserted through the incision, and excess tissue is extracted through a thin tube.

Excision

Surgical excision is employed when a larger volume of tissue needs removal. Similar to liposuction, the incision is discreet and minimized to reduce scarring. After removing the tissue, the incision is meticulously closed using fine stitches.

Your Recovery Process

Swelling should diminish within approximately two weeks. It's important to avoid strenuous activities during this period to ensure complete healing. Exercise should be postponed for three to four weeks, although you can typically return to work within a week of the procedure.

Shapely Results

The benefits of skin removal become apparent almost immediately. Patients often report a more aesthetically pleasing shape, reduced clothing-related chafing, and increased confidence when wearing sleeveless attire. Some individuals also experience improved arm mobility and overall satisfaction with their enhanced physique.
