I'm nearly 4 weeks post-op from my 1st Miradry procedure and just starting to notice a bit of sweat returning. I've been trying to use natural deodorant but thinking I may need to switch back to antiperspirant to help with the remaining sweat. I'm certain I want to do a follow-up treatment but for financial reasons, I may need to wait until the new year (9 months total then from 1st treatment) will waiting that long between procedures make the second treatment less effective?

Once your sweat glands have been eradicated these will no longer return even with the hormones of pregnancy. With one treatment, the average patient can expect a 75 to 80 % reduction in the number of sweat glands. Best of luck on your new pregnancy,Dr. ALDO
Swelling in the breasts is normal after miraDry. It should subside but may take a few weeks, especially with the scar tissue in the breasts from the previous gynecomastia surgery. Wearing a compression shirt or ACE bandage wrapped around the chest will help.
It would be best to wait until all swelling and numbness goes away before you consider tanning, which could lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin).
