Can I fly same day after miraDry Treatment?

Thanks for your question and congratulations on saying goodbye to underarm sweat and odor! While you may experience mild swelling and a bit of tenderness in the first few days following your treatment, it is manageable with Tylenol or ibuprofen. At Capizzi M.D., our patients experience little to no downtime, most returning to work the very same day. Catching a quick flight after your miraDry procedure should be no issue. Best of luck!

Thanks for this important question. Flying after MiraDry should be fine. The procedure is minimally invasive and it is done in the office with only local anesthesia. Good luck, Dr. ALDO

Thank you for your question.We usually recommend that you use ice packs as much as possible following your MiraDry treatment, you may or may not require pain relief. You should be ok to fly as long as it is not a long haul flight.

Yes you can fly the same day you have miraDry.  This is a procedure with no downtime.  I have had it done and returned to work immediately afterwards.

Flying after miraDry is fine.  You will be a little sore and have swelling, bruising, and numbness in your underarms, but it shouldn't be affected by flying.  

It is fine to fly after your procedure. Icing and motrin are advised to help with the discomfort. Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula

Yes, absolutely it is fine to fly the same day or the next after a miraDry treatment.  The key to post procedure care is icing the area the first 24 to 48 hours and no heavy lifting or exercise with your arms should to be done for at least 1 week. Also taking anti-inflammatories like Aleve or Motrin can help reduce the swelling and any discomfort.  Hope this helps.  

Flying (especially a short trip) after the miraDry procedure should be fine.  Some patients feel a bit sore once the numbing injections have worn off after the procedure, but if you ice immediately and regularly afterwards (or even take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen) you should be okay to carry/lift your carry-on or luggage.



Hope this helps, and best of luck -

You should absolutely be able to fly the same day but you may have some localized swelling and tenderness for a few days.  Ice packs and tylenol usually eliminate the swelling or discomfort.  Best, Dr. Green

Thanks for your question. miraDry is a great procedure to decrease underarm sweating. It's great because it works well, and especially because there really isn't any downtime. You may have a little swelling for a couple of days but nothing some Tylenol and ice can't help. Flying or any type of travel should not be an issue. Just pack your ice! Good luck, Dr. M
