Minimally invasive aspiration treatment for armpit odor is becoming more and more popular among patients with armpit odor due to almost no scarring, quick recovery after surgery, and little impact on daily life and work. The following is a summary of the common questions and answers about minimally invasive aspiration method for the treatment of axillary odor, and we hope to help you patients. I. What are the advantages of minimally invasive aspiration compared to traditional surgery (small incision method, ultra-thin flap)? 1) There is no scar in the armpit, the scar is located in the inner concealed part of the upper arm and is only 5mm in length. Wearing sleeveless in summer is not a problem. 2）.Complications such as flap ischemia, skin necrosis and hematoma occur after surgery are much lower than traditional surgery. 3) The post-operative dressing requirements are not as strict as those of traditional surgery, and it is not easy for the patient to experience extreme discomfort or damage to the axillary nerve due to over-tightening of the dressing. 4) The postoperative recovery is fast, and the dressing can be removed in 3-5 days without removing the stitches. Second, will the minimally invasive aspiration method increase the recurrence rate after surgery compared to traditional surgery (small incision method, ultra-thin skin flap)? For the majority of patients with axillary odor, minimally invasive aspiration does not increase the probability of postoperative recurrence compared to traditional surgery (small incision method, ultra-thin flap). Only in patients with severe axillary odor does the small incision procedure or the ultra-thin flap method show an advantage. The results of these studies were published in journals such as the Chinese Journal of Plastic Surgery. In addition, for patients with severe axillary odor, our medical institution can still perform small incision and ultra-thin flap procedures for the treatment of axillary odor. 3. The smell under my armpit is mild, should I have surgery or not? Minimally invasive aspiration surgery is available. As there are more complications after the incision method of axillary odor treatment, and the patient’s own degree of axillary odor is not heavy, the combination of “risk” and “benefit”, the past view is that patients with mild axillary odor are not recommended to receive surgical treatment. The advent of minimally invasive aspiration has changed this view, as the postoperative complications of minimally invasive aspiration are much lower than those of incision and the efficacy of the procedure is positive, making it the best method for the treatment of mild axillary odor. In addition, patients with mild armpit odor can also receive Botox treatment. I have had traditional surgery, but my armpit odor has returned after surgery, so I am worried about skin necrosis. Unlike other medical institutions, our treatment experience is: yes. The patient has recovered well from the surgery and there has been no recurrence of armpit odor. However, since the skin condition of the local armpit varies after surgical treatment, a preoperative evaluation is needed to determine whether minimally invasive aspiration can be performed. V. Is it possible to achieve the effect of armpit hair removal after minimally invasive aspiration treatment for armpit odor? After axillary odor surgery, the hair in the surgical area of most patients will be significantly thinner than before the surgery, but it is certainly impossible to achieve the effect of complete hair removal in the armpit. If you really need to remove armpit hair, you can undergo laser hair removal treatment. Sixth, I want to do armpit surgery, but I am very worried about the summer local pressure does not breathe leading to infection and other situations, whether the summer is suitable for surgery? Minimally invasive suction surgery is not affected. Because of the hot weather in summer, local sweating easily leads to bacterial growth, and axillary odor surgery and inevitably need to dressing, so the surgical incision in the armpit does increase the chance of post-operative wound infection, which is why some medical institutions do not carry out axillary odor surgery in summer and recommend that patients undergo surgery after the weather turns cool. However, the minimally invasive aspiration method does not leave an incision in the armpit, and the incision itself is only 5mm, so it is difficult for bacteria to have retrograde infection, so the surgery can be performed in summer. Our experience is that the probability of wound infection after minimally invasive aspiration is extremely low, and the hot weather does not increase the probability of wound infection. 7. I have seen the so-called “Korean”, “rice grain”, “micro-cut”, “nano” and other methods, are they Can they be more minimally invasive? As far as surgical treatment is concerned, the minimally invasive aspiration method is already the smallest incision method available. Clinically, we see people almost every week who have undergone the so-called “Korean”, “rice”, “micro-incision”, “nano” and other methods. “Some of these patients are found to have undergone the traditional shuttle skin excision. No matter which method you finally choose to use to treat armpit odor, you should choose a regular medical institution. Eight, my underarm smell is not very bad, I can smell it in summer, should I choose minimally invasive aspiration method or Botox injection? If you don’t want to undergo surgery, can’t accept any scar or for some reason can’t brake after surgery, then Botox treatment is recommended because it can be almost non-invasive, and the effect is exact, the treatment “no trace”; on the contrary, you can consider minimally invasive aspiration method.
