Accessory breast removal surgery is currently the most effective method for improving polythelia. This procedure has a short operation time, hidden incisions, minimal damage, no pain, quick recovery, and long-lasting perfect results. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia, with the incision made at the front of the armpit. The subcutaneous tissue is separated through the skin, and all accessory breast tissues, including the nipple and areola, are removed together. Post-surgery, compression bandaging is applied, and stitches are removed after seven days.

3. **Apply ice packs** to the surgical area for cold compression for 3-4 days after the surgery to help reduce swelling.
4. **The effects of the anesthetic will not disappear immediately**, so you may feel drowsy after the surgery. After being discharged, make sure to get plenty of rest. Avoid driving or working at heights until fully recovered. When sleeping, you can elevate your head with more pillows.
5. **Avoid getting the surgical site wet** within one week after the surgery. You can wash your hair four days after the surgery but avoid excessive rubbing of the scalp.
6. **Best to avoid physical activity** within four days after the surgery. Light exercise can be resumed after four days, and the intensity can be gradually increased ten days after the surgery. However, avoid intense physical activities involving bodily collisions for at least three weeks.
7. **Avoid spicy and stimulating foods** that could interfere with healing.
