Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it is a congenital malformation, nothing can be done medically.
For cosmetic purpose if you want you can get it removed by a plastic surgeon, after confirming that there are sufficient ducts in the rest of the breast.
Alternatively you can have short sleeves, or bell sleeves.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
