Botox is a great way to help with excessive sweating of the underarms, I suggest you get clearance from your primary physician before having treatment done
There would be no issue as far as safety or efficacy in using Botox to reduce underarm excessive sweating, even after breast cancer and lymph node removal. Best to speak with your dermatologist about this and other treatment options for hyperhidrosis.
Botox is placed just under the skin for treatment of excessive sweating. This should not create any issues as long as you've healed completely following your lymph node removal. Good luck!
I have treated people with Botox after lymph node clearance. There is no contraindication.

Thank you for your question. There are no studies that show Botox impacts your ability to get pregnant or pregnancy. Out of caution, most doctors will not inject if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. However, I recommend you to follow up with ob/gyn to discuss your concerns and t...
The results of your treatment may have worn off. Results tend to last a few months, but when an insufficient amount is injected, results tend to wear off faster. Please return to your injector when you can for a top up.
