So far recovering has been very good, swelling is going down, mild pain, small bumps etc. However, about two days ago I started experiencing short sharp needle-like pain on both breasts, similar to those when I was lactating, the best possible way I can describe it. It feels like mild electric current is traveling from the inside of the breast towards the nipple. Could this be related to Mirady? btw I;m not pregnant. Thank you very much
Answer: Plato's Scar Serum and Swell X after Miradry I have co-authored a book on Miradry and am a regional referral center for hyperhidrosis. Swelling will subside with time. If it bothers you, I would suggest SwellX tablets for at least a week after treatment. The pulling that some patients feel may be improved with massage with or without Plato's Scar Serum.

Answer: Electric current.... Thanks for this MiraDry question. Procedures like MiraDry can release a few inflammatory mediators which tend to make the tissues more sensitive. It's temporary.Best wishes, Dr. Aldo

Answer: MiraDry: breast pain after treatment #miraDry microwaves penetrate less than 5 mm deep, between the skin and underlying fat. miraDry is a third generation microwave-based device that selectively heats this area where the sweat glands and odor glands reside. The vacuum system within the handpiece lifts the skin and underlying tissue a few millimeters into the treatment chamber. During the treatment cycle (consisting of energy delivery time and post-cool time) cooling fluid flows through a chamber in contact with the skin, protecting the epidermis and upper dermis from excess heating. Structures deeper than the sweat glands are protected from heat injury due to the limited penetration depth of microwave energy. Breast tissue is not affected and there are no reports of untoward problemsThe injections and treatment do come close to irritating the nerves coming out of the ribs that go into the breast. Irritation is possible.. This will get better

Answer: Breast pain weeks after miraDry Thank you for your question. miraDry is an excellent treatment for hyperhidrosis, however it does heat the underlying structures and can cause some transient effects. It may be that a branch of your sensory nerve that emanates from the intercostal nerves may have been heated as part of the treatment causing a transient injury and as the nerves recover, they are causing you that electric current sensation. Because it is traveling towards the nipple, it is likely the 4th intercostal nerve. As a plastic surgeon, we try to avoid injury to this nerve during breast augmentation procedures so we don't end up with permanent numbness in this area.If you are feeling the nerve as it recovers, then there is a great chance that the injury is temporary and your symptoms will improve. I would definitely let your provider know and they may modify your next treatment (if needed) or modify their technique for future patients so they don't have this concern.

Answer: Sharp pain I had the miradry present done myself and I had little pain. Sometimes it did feel weird when I would stretch a certain way but that went away. We are a very busy miradry practice and haven't had anyone with any permanent pain or lumps. Just give it some time.Sheila Nazarian
