I had the 2nd part of my Miradry procedure the second week of October and the setting was on level 4 because I did not have much improvement after the 1st treatment. My breasts swelled up 2 cup sizes and have been very tender. The swelling has diminished but is still present. The tenderness has increased especially at the base of my breasts extending to the axilla area. I've been taking Ibuprofen and Vicodin with little improvement. I'm a small woman- around 100 pounds, 5'3. Is this normal?

Answer: Miradry Having some breast swelling or discomfort after miradry is not uncommon if the armpit hair that was treated is very close-up. But discuss your concerns with your physician.

Answer: Breast tenderness after mirAdry treatment for hyperhidrosis keep in mind that most of the answers posted to this particular question are being delivered by physicians to do not have a General surgery background which would include breast surgery. What's missing in some of these answers is the fact that the axillary area or armpits of men and women can include breast tissue which has lymphatic and sensory connections with the breasts themselves. It is unlikely that your breasts have actually been affected by the treatment but referred pain and regional swelling and tenderness is not beyond the realm of possibility. Follow up closely with your doctor and if you want a second opinion I recommend a general plastic surgeon or a general surgeon who often operates on the breasts for either medical or cosmetic purposes.overall however I would say that this type of issue is rare and I have not heard of it in any one else's clinic nor have I seen this in my own.Chase Lay, MDDouble board-certified facial plastic surgeon
