Hello,Curious if this is a normal side effect... Essentially I have been putting on what appears to be fluid around my mid-section post procedure of my first treatment with MiraDry. The swelling started around my pecs and chest first but now appears to be spreading to the gut region. I am lean with low body fat so it is very noticeable for me and a little scary. Should I be concerned?

Answer: MiraDry chest and abdominal swelling I haven't seen this in my practice but it certainly been reported a few times. It should continue to go away. Definitely follow-up with your doctor but what I have had some of my patients do is where snug form fitting under shirts. Similar to a lipoma liposuction garment. Sometimes snug stretchable underarmor dear works nicely.Best of luckChase Lay, MD
