Puffy Nipples after MiraDry?

awesomeorderApr 4, 2016
I'm a male who had gynecomastia surgery a few years back to remove lumps under my nipples. After Miradry, my nipples have puffed back out. It has been 11 days now and they're still puffy. I've tried using compression to keep them down and wanted to know if this is unusual or if I should be concerned.

Thanks for the question.  Wait until the swelling and bruising subsides, and massage any areas where it feels "weird."  If you want a tan look, consider a spray tan in the mean time! Best wishes, Dr. Aldo :-)

Three days post MiraDry treatment is still early.  Give it a little more time to heal and see your full result.  Most patients who undergo one MiraDry treatment see a 60-80% reduction in sweat and odor.  Reevaluate at 3 months to determine whether you need another treatment.  Until then, goo...

This is rare and I believe there's a good change it can resolve after childbirth. After the baby's born, if symptoms persist then speak with your treating physician.Best, Dr. Aldo

Congratulations on getting 80 to 85 % reduction in your sweating. The second treatment should be done at level 5 at three months from the first treatments. It sounds from your description like you're not fully recovered yet and you need to wait about 1 more month.Best wishes, Dr. Aldo
