Is it normal that male breasts enlarged 3 days after miraDry? How long will it take to go back to normal?

Question

My procedure went very well and I have almost no pain 3 days after procedure. My pecs have turned into man boobs though. I feel like they are filled with liquid and are a little tendor. Is this okay and how long will it take to go back to normal?

Hi sweatydude

There will be swelling and you should ice the areas for 24 hours. The swelling shouldn’t prevent you from doing daily activities after the first day. Relax for that day, get your ice on and binge-watch some TV. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Thank you for your question.  It is normal to have swelling after the miraDry procedure.  At our office, we do MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage), in order to reduce swelling.  We also recommend stretching to prevent banding post procedure.  I would follow up with your provider to see what they recommend for post miraDry swelling.

Thank you for your question.Yes swelling can occur in this area, it should settle completely by two weeks, if you are at all concerned do contact your practitioner.

Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD · Answer

Great question, and I hope by now some of the swelling is resolving.  It can last for a few weeks or longer, but definitely does eventually improve.  We have had hundreds of happy, less-sweaty patients after one or two MiraDry treatments, and have had a few people say the swelling extends into the chest temporarily.  Basically the swelling can follow the "path of least resistance", so sometimes it tracks along the front of the body, and sometimes more down the arms or closer to the back.  Just take it easy for awhile and use a lot of ice if there is discomfort.  I hope you love your results!
