  1. Data are presented as mean (range), n (%), or n
  2. *Most P-values represent comparisons between categorical variables, which were tested using the χ2 test. Continuous variables were tested using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and t-test
  3. aSatisfaction score was measured according to scar, pain, and cosmesis level scores 6 months postoperatively using a 5-point Likert scale
  4. AAB, axillary accessory breast; BMI, body mass index; DL classification, Damsoyu–Lee classification
