7 months post procedure

MijaOCO
Now we’re on to the cosmetic portion of fixing my botched MiraDry.
Had the keloid tissue out and stitched up.
This whole experience has been horrendous!
I keep trying to find a silver lining, but there is nothing that can excuse the level of pain and suffering I’ve been through. And I still sweat like crazy!

Can you say where and who did that?
December 8, 2020
I had it done at a dermatologist office in Las Vegas

Almost healed...

MijaOCO
So, my conclusion. I still sweat the same as before, but now have mobility issues in my left arm as well as a scar that I might have to consider cosmetic surgery on someday to lessen its appearance! My right armpit is still discolored and lumpy, although the lumps are getting softer.

thank you so much for sharing your experience, it's a relief to know that it healed! do you have any idea what happened to cause it? was it not enough saline water or maybe the energy level was set too high? I hope the doctor had some type of explanation for this...

I’ve spoken with the manufacturer and they said a small percentage of patients who get this procedure can have this reaction and it can’t be predicted who. That’s the most information I’ve gotten.

Hi
I’m really sorry for what happened to you i hope you get well soon

The hole is still appearing?
June 22, 2020
It’s still a bit there and the skin healed really weird, I’ll probably need additional procedures to lessen its appearance. It’s been so shitty and has lost me work as an actress and model. :/

How are you doing now? That looked pretty painful
July 29, 2020
I think it’s about as healed as it’s going to get at this point.
I have another follow up appointment next week.
I have stinging/stabbing sensations sometimes and still numbness in the back of my arm almost to my elbow.
It’s definitely going to need some kind of cosmetic fixing because it looks terrible.

I’m so sorry

Nearly 8 weeks post procedure.

MijaOCO
I’ve had weekly follow-ups since my MiraDry procedure.
I’ve been on antibiotics the entire time. And having to do wet wound packing to encourage healing.
I also haven’t been able to use full extension of that arm for 7 weeks. I’ve been told that’s probably due to inflammation and they suspect it will resolve.
The other armpit is still hard and lumpy as well.

what happened? there is a hole now?!
May 21, 2020
Yes, quite a large hole (ulcer) I’m currently 10weeks post procedure and it’s still “healing”.
