Breast sudden sharp pain after miraDry? It has been 2 weeks since the first miraDry treatment was done (level 5)

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.

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
