Liposuction effectively removes axillary sweat glands for hyperhidrosis treatment. However, some patients experience relapse, necessitating repeat procedures for lasting results.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Excessive axillary sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a common dermatological concern.
  • Liposuction with tumescent anesthesia offers a minimally invasive outpatient solution for sweat gland removal.

Observation:

  • This case series evaluated 10 patients undergoing axillary liposuction for hyperhidrosis.
  • Bruising occurred in two patients; four patients relapsed with hyperhidrosis.

Findings:

  • Four out of ten patients required repeat liposuction due to hyperhidrosis relapse.
  • Relapse times ranged from 4 to 15 months.
  • Six patients achieved long-term remission, with the longest remission lasting 7 years.

Implications:

  • Axillary liposuction is a viable treatment for hyperhidrosis with a generally favorable complication profile.

  • The potential for relapse should be discussed with patients considering this procedure.
  • Further research may explore factors influencing long-term efficacy and relapse rates.
