Lumps two months after miradry? (photos)

Question

I had miradry two months ago. My right under arm still has lumps that are painful. They almost seem like they have fluid in them. Tonight I squeezed one of them and a lot of blood and fluid came out of it. I have about 5 large lumps in one side. Shouldn't the "lumps" have healed by now?

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

You may experience some
swelling, minor bruising and tenderness of the underarms, which should subside
within a couple of weeks. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity requiring
your arms until your symptoms have resolved. Some patients have short-term
altered sensation of the underarm skin or upper armsLumps should have resolved by now.Talk to your PS and have this examined

Aldo Guerra, MD · Answer

These lumps could be fluid collections with or without infection. I think you should be diagnosed by your treating physician and get some medical recommendations to treat these lumps.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

Having lumps after miraDry treatment is normal, due to the tumescent fluid injected for numbing prior to the treatment. However, they should be nearly resolved by now, normally it only takes a few weeks to reabsorb. I would definitely have them checked out by the healthcare professional who did your treatment. #underarms   #fluid   #lumps   #painBe well.

I would speak to your practitioner about these lumps.  I would recommend an ultrasound to see if these are abscesses or hematomas, especially since they are painful and contain fluid.  I have never seen lumps last 2 months. My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

I suggest seeing your physician you really need to have an evaluation to ensure this isnt scar tissue, fluid or blood.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

It is important to follow up with the office that performed your Miradry.  Any lumps, bumps or swelling that persist longer than a few weeks should be examined, especially if there is drainage or discharge.  Best of luck
