Will the accessory breast disappear after half a month after cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Breastfeeding. Post-caesarean section for half a month. Discovered having accessory breast. Want to ask if the accessory breast will disappear later? When will it disappear

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, accessory breast tissue is breast tissue, which will never disappear. Opinion: Moreover, during lactation, accessory breast tissue will significantly reduce in size and secrete milk, but it cannot be expressed, making it prone to milk accumulation and infection, usually requiring surgical removal. For the patient, if the condition is severe after a cesarean section, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean section. In addition, the patient also needs to have a proper diet.
