Swelling/fluid in sides/stomach - post first MiraDry treatment.

The miraDry® system eliminates the underarm sweat glands, and the sweat glands don’t grow back after treatment. This results in a dramatic and lasting reduction of embarrassing underarm sweat. In a clinical study, patients experienced an average of 82% reduction in underarm sweat. You should notice a reduction in sweat immediately after a single miraDry® treatment. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person. 80% of our patients need only one treatment. Secondary effects include underarm hair and odor reduction as well as temporary swelling that may travel down the flanks. Ask your physician if this procedure is right for you.

Swelling is normal around the armpits after Miradry. Our office specializes in Miradry treatments and we advise patients to apply ice and use Arnica and Bromelain. The Plato's Bruise Balm can be applied twice daily. Best, DR. Karamanoukian

Although unusual, localized swelling can occur in the axilla and similarly in the pectoral area. I have never seen it extend to the abdomen in over 600 cases that I have done. It shoudl go away. Take some bioflavonoids as they will reduce tissue edema and lymphedema that is localized to the area. Swell-X is a good product. 

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

Swelling is the most common side effects of miraDry. The swelling may travel down your trunk from your underarm area to diffuse out. In the next few days you should see this start to resolve and you will be thrilled about the results as most patients are. If it does not start to resolve or increases schedule a follow up with your physician.Best of luck!SS 

Yes, swelling can occur with miraDry- this is common, especially with higher treatment settings. This will settle down with time. The reason why its around the abdomen is because gravity places the swelling there. A pressure garment can reduce the swelling as can massage. It will go down in the next week or two. RegardsDr Davin LimDermatologist.
