More and more people, reluctant to use surgery to treat armpit odor, one of the important reasons: fear of postoperative recurrence. Doctors have different skills and patients have individual differences, so the probability of surgical failure is still inevitable. What can be done after a failed surgery? Regardless of conventional surgery or minimally invasive surgery, the subcutaneous tissue after surgery is no longer as clearly layered as it was before surgery, but rather forms a wide range of scar tissue with unclear layers and uneven texture, making it difficult to perform a second surgery. What can I do to remedy a recurrence after axillary surgery? Before we discuss this, let’s look at some case pictures. These are the scars left after surgery, aren’t they horrible and disgusting? It would be fine if it was just unsightly, but the point is that the odor is still there, and that makes it hard to accept. Whenever I hear patients complain to me about the pain of failed surgeries, I feel bad, and I am even more determined to use non-surgical methods to solve the pain of the majority of patients, at least not to leave unsightly scars because of the treatment. And run away from the topic, back to the main topic, for such cases of postoperative failure, there are ways to remedy the situation? Answer: Yes. The first step is to evaluate the underarm scars before deciding what to do next. Different surgical methods and different levels of surgeons result in different underarm scars. There are two kinds of postoperative scars: First, postoperative scars are not obvious, or postoperative scars are limited, skin mobility is normal, there is no subcutaneous adhesion, and there is no obvious pulling sensation when lifting the upper limbs. For this situation, you can use peonix injection treatment, also known as sweat gland shock therapy. Treatment principle: using the strong acidity of the drug, it produces coagulative necrosis on the surrounding tissues, thus destroying the sweat glands and making them lose their secretion function to achieve the purpose of treating armpit odor. Generally after two treatments, the purpose of permanent odor reduction can be achieved. Second, the postoperative scar is obvious, wide range, there is a pulling sensation when lifting the upper limbs, the axillary skin is thin, like parchment, the skin is hard to touch, the skin is adhered together, and the mobility is poor. For this situation, only suitable for botulinum toxin treatment, also called sweat gland dormant therapy. Treatment principle: Botox can inhibit the release of acetylcholine from the nerve endings, so that the sweat glands lose the innervation of the nerves, thus losing their secretion function. However, this method is only a temporary relief, the efficacy can be maintained for 3-6 months, about half a year treatment is needed, for those who do not want to use antiperspirant every day, is also a good choice. Regardless of the type of surgical scar, as long as you’ve had surgery, and regardless of whether it’s minimally invasive or conventional surgery, you can no longer treat it with fresh microwave or radiofrequency ablation. This is also the point that I repeatedly emphasize, the reason why I advise you to choose the surgical treatment carefully, once the scar is formed, it is almost impossible to disappear in the later stage, and it is always there, like a brand, so that you always remember, I have had a surgery.
