Lumps under arms haven't gone away after miradry procedure. Should I be concerned/worried?

After the MiraDry procedure you will notice a reduction or elimination in your underarm sweat and odor and reduction in underarm hair.  Immediately post procedure you may have some swelling and numbness which is normal.  We recommend an anti-inflammatory, ice and an antibiotic ointment.  In my practice, we also offer manual lymphatic drainage massage which we saw decreased the amount of swelling our patients experience.  Lumps and soreness after the treatment are normal.  Daily massage and stretching will help as well as Vitamin B12 which will help with nerve regeneration.  For up to two weeks post procedure it is important to: avoid shaving until the tenderness has subsided, avoid deodorant or antiperspirant and wear loose tops.

Lumps in the underarms can occur after MiraDry. Most resolve within a couple weeks but some may linger. I would suggest gentle heat with massage and stretching of the area first. If they do not resolve contact your MiraDry provider.

Thanks for your question.  Lumpiness, swelling and bruising may occur after a MiraDry treatment.  Each individual is different, but it may take 6-8 weeks for this to resolve, and may be helped by gentle massage of the underarm area. Make sure to follow up with your provider if you are concerned about the lumpiness as well as to evaluate your results.  Best of luck, Dr. Aldo :-)
