Since I discovered Miradry, I finally have hope that I can get my life back. I've tried every deo, soap, etc, but I smell as soon as I get out of the shower. I'd love to get this done ASAP, but I'm currently breastfeeding. Do I need to wait until I'm done? What does recovery entail? Also, I have breast implants & the incision site is my underarm- will this interfere with miradry & will it interfere if I need to get my implants replaced in the future?
Answer: MiraDry and breast-feeding Thank you for your question. I would not recommend that you have miraDry while breast-feeding. If you really are bothered by the symptoms, and would really like to proceed with the procedure, you may want to pump and dump for a few days while you are taking pain medication. With respect to the breast implant, you would need to avoid treating directly over that area. I would go to a plastic surgeon's office that has miraDry as they would be more comfortable in assessing how close to the breast you can get with the treatment.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Not while breast feeding... Hello and thanks. MiraDry has not been studied in pregnant people and those breast feeding and what effects the medications/procedure could have on your baby. I would also agree with a previous answer that you should "pump and dump" if you decide to do it to not expose the child to any medications. Check with your treating physician for more details.

Answer: Breastfeeding and MiraDry As with anything cosmetic or elective, it is our policy to not treat during pregnancy or while breast feeding. There isn't any studies proving (or disproving for that matter) the safety of your unborn child therefore it is always better to err on the side of caution. The results are WELL worth the wait, you'll see. Be well!#breastfeedingandmiraDry #pregnancyandlasers #miraDry

TREATMENT FOR YOU

Answer: MiraDry: is it safe to breast feed? miraDry microwaves penetrate less than 5 mm deep, between the skin and underlying fat. miraDry is a third generation microwave-based device that selectively heats this area where the sweat glands and odor glands reside. The vacuum system within the handpiece lifts the skin and underlying tissue a few millimeters into the treatment chamber. During the treatment cycle (consisting of energy delivery time and post-cool time) cooling fluid flows through a chamber in contact with the skin, protecting the epidermis and upper dermis from excess heating. Structures deeper than the sweat glands are protected from heat injury due to the limited penetration depth of microwave energy. Breast tissue is not affected and there are no reports of untoward problems If you are pregnant or breast feeding, it is best to wait until you are done as we inject a local anaesthetic and you will be taking oral pain medication after the treatment.

Answer: Wait until breastfeeding ends before Miradry Miradry may affect breast swelling and I would defer treatment until after the breastfeeding is complete. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Miradry and breast feeding and breast implants Breast implants are definitely not a problem but you do want your practitioner to be aware of them so as to have you pull them away while being numbed. I would wait until after you are done breastfeeding... not that I think anything will happen if you do it while breast feeding. Just overly cautious, I guess.
