We surgically treated twenty patients with axillary hyperhidrosis by liposuction using tumescent regional anesthesia. After a description of the surgical technique results are presented. Except for trivial hematomas, no complications were seen. Every patient noted a significant reduction of sweat gland activity in the follow up period. Long-term results remain to be seen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
