I had Miradry 25 days ago. I have lumps in both arms but a huge lump on my tendon. Any suggestions?

Question

I had Miradry about 25 days ago. I still have lumps in both arms. My left arm healed way better than my right. My right arm-the tendon I believe- right above my armpit has this huge hard lump that also won't seem to go away and it hurts and theres a red looking pimple on it as well. Should I keep massaging it? Will this go away?

Thanks Ashley. Lumps and bumps are part of the normal healing process with MiraDry. I suggest you follow up with your doctor and be sure the larger one is normal healing and not an infectious process. Best, Dr. ALDO :)

Melissa Chiang, MD, FAAD · Answer

You are describing the wound healing process.  Some patients will get lumps and bumps, but these will resolve. If you have a "red looking pimple," please return to your provider.  This may be a sign of an infection.

Shareef Jandali, MD · Answer

Lumps or nodularity in the underarm are normal after miraDry.  However, there is a small chance of getting an infection that needs to be drained.  For a large bump that is red and looks like a pimple in the middle, you have to see your provider to see if this needs to be treated and drained.

Follow up with the treating physician and I hope it was a physician who did the procedure or a PA or NP under physician supervision.In our practice, 90% of our patients require only a SINGLE miraDry session.
1st session is $1500.
if you need  second or third, it is only $1000 per session for our patients. 
No one said it lasts only 2 years. I don't know where you got this information.
One session of miraDry costs as much as one session of Botox, which only lasts 3 months.

I would strongly recommend following up with your provider to be examined to rule out infection.  In general, lumps and bumps will resolve with time. Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula
