Excessive sweating after transaxillary BA

Genuine6772Nov 5, 2021
Hello there! In March I had my transaxillary breast augmentation with implants placed under the gland. Just a background fact, I’ve never been a sweaty person, and mostly not from the armpits. As I had my surgery done right before summer, I thought it could be normal, but right now that we’re approaching winter, it’s weird that even when I’m freezing my armpits just stars sweating out of nowhere. Could it be related to some issue with the procedure or what else?

Dear Optimistic944916, numbness is very common. It depends on the operation but often times sensation can return in a couple of weeks, a year, or not at all. Nipple sensation itself is very important and can sometimes be lost with breast surgery. This is often mentioned in the risks of the...

Dear golie74, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would probably need breast lift revision after removal of implants. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough...
