| Abstract |
Supernumerary nipples and breast tissue often are dismissed as cosmetic curiosities. These structures have the potential for pathologic degeneration and may be associated with significant congenital abnormalities. In a prospective comparison of 100 Native American women with 100 non-Native American women, these accessory organs were found much more commonly among Native American women. Careful attention should be given to thorough evaluation and long-term follow-up evaluation of any patient with this anomaly. This study investigated a patient who underwent surgical removal of her axillary breast tissue with ultrasound-assisted liposuction. The advantages of this method include a minimal incision scar from the liposuction cannula and the ability to detect residual axillary breast by ultrasound. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 September 2022.
All research outputs
#7,626,291
of 23,243,271 outputs
Outputs from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
#292
of 1,244 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#27,801
of 79,265 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,243,271 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,244 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 79,265 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
