Hi and thanks for this question. I believe that you're leaking the numbing solution that is used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. This should stop completely by the next morning if not later today. Burning sensations, swelling, tightness and discomfort are all normal for a time period after MiraDry. If you continue to become concerned please call you physician. See the links below for additional information on MiraDry. Best wishes always, Dr. ALDO
Always follow the instruction from the clinic where you had your treatment. Fluid draining from the area can be normal, along with the burning sensation. Ice as much as possible and follow up with the clinic just to be sure they don't have more post care instruction. Neosporin and alcohol are not in our practice's protocol but they may have a reason for telling you to do so.
Thank you for your question. Normal side effects of MiraDry include: -Swelling in the armpit, altered sensation (numbness or tingling) in the skin of the treated area or the arm, redness or bruising in the underarm or adjacent area. Other minor effects that may last longer are bumps you can feel under the skin anddarkening of the skin. These should gradually disappear over time.Fluid leakage post MiraDry is not normal. You should return to your physician for evaluation.
Thank you for your question.It is unusual to have fluid oozing from the skin after the Miradry procedure.I think you should contact the clinic where you had it done for advice.
It is common for the tumescent anesthesia to drain in the first 6 hours after miraDry procedure. Late drainage, meaning more than 3 days after the procedure is more concerning. it is a rare occurrence. Hratch L Karamanoukian MD FACS
The normal recovery after miraDry is: mild to moderate numbness or tingling (lasting 1-2 days), mild to moderate swelling and/or lumpiness (for 5-7 days), mild to moderate discomfort at rest or only when stretching (lasting 5-14 days). Side effects are temporary. In some patient they may last up to 6 weeks- this would be very rare. To have any active drainage, oozing, or other fluid leaking out, is not in the normal recovery experience. Be well.
If your doctor used a tumescent technique to numb your armpit area prior to the miraDry treatment, it may be normal to have a small amount of fluid leak out from the injection sites. This usually happens immediately after injection, before the actual treatment, and most patients do not notice much more after the procedure is completed in the office.If you are still experiencing a significant amount of fluid coming out of your armpit, give your doctor a call to get everything checked out in person.Take care,Dr. Lim
is usually not good idea and most dermatologists would not suggest that. You may want to verify with your doctor.
You should definitely inform the physician to see if the office wants to evaluate you. However, usually banding disappears on its own over a period of a few weeks to a few months. Massaging can help.
