Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

miraDry requires tumescent solution to numb the area containing, salt water, lidocaine and epinephrine.  I would wait until after you are done nursing.

I have co-authored a book on Miradry with Dr. Hratch Karamanoukian. At this time, I would not suggest elective Miradry during breast feeding unless there is a medically-legitimate reason for not waiting. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

It sounds like you are wondering whether women who plan to breastfeed in the future can be miraDry.  miraDry will not affect your ability to breastfeed in the future.  

	However, if you are currently breastfeeding, I would recommend that you wait until you have stopped breastfeeding.  This is an elective procedure and can be scheduled at your convenience.

Miradry treatment requires local anesthesia to be have tolerable level of pain control. Lidocaine  is the agent of choice and it is gone from the body within several hours. To be  safe stop breast feeding for 24 hrs. It is a time proven and reasonable rule used for any procedures under local anesthesia
