If I develop axillary web after miradry should I let it resolve itself or see a doctor?

Thanks for this important question. Axillary webbing tends to occur in thinner patients and will resolve with time. I suggest you contact your provider, but some of the advice on the previous answers is very good. IF still present after 8 weeks consider a small injection of cortisone. Best, Dr. ALDO

Cords or bands can develop in the armpit area after the miraDry procedure, and these can take some time to resolve.  After I had the procedure done myself, I had some cords (more on one side than the other) that took two months to disappear on the milder side, and the last traces are still there on the other.  Gentle massage and stretching seemed to help a little.I've seen the webbing happen more frequently in my patients with thinner armpits, and it takes up to several weeks for those bands to go away.  Usually it's just a feeling of tightness - often not bothersome at all to patients - but if you're having pain three weeks later, you should have your doctor take a look.Take care,Dr. Lim

Thank you for your question.I would recommend seeing your practitioner. Axillary webbing can occur after the Miradry procedure and will settle on its own but if is  causing you pain I would seek advice from your practitioner.
