Your breast tissues form the size and shape of your breasts. Your breast tissues might also grow beyond the usual location of your breasts. These breast tissues can extend to the armpits and might give your armpits a weird shape. As per various medical studies it is found that axillary fat pads can form in 2 to 6 percent of the women population.
You probably don’t like the way your axillary breast tissue looks if you have it. When your arms are down, it might make the area look “meaty” and lumpy. The tissue may also be palpable to you due to its greater thickness. Since the axillary breast can enlarge and feel more sensitive (just like your breasts), it may become especially bothersome before menstruating or during pregnancy. Gaining weight may make it appear even worse.

It is sensitive to any alterations that may damage normal breast tissue, including hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy, milk production, and other factors. But it could also be mainly made of fatty tissue. In either case, it results in swelling under the armpits, which may be unsightly.
