What should I do to take care of my armpit odor after surgery?

After minimally invasive armpit surgery, the shoulders and armpits are wrapped with more gauze and bandages, and there will be some obstacles to movement. There are a few points to note: 1. Within a week after surgery, the arms should not hang down completely, at least to maintain a 45 degree angle. Because the axillary area, although the external wound is only 5 mm in size, the axillary subcutaneous has been completely free, and the trauma reaches the periphery of the entire axillary hair distribution area, individuals can estimate the trauma according to their own axillary hair distribution range. If the upper arm is completely sagging, the skin of the axilla will form folds, which will have a poor appearance after healing and will not be conducive to postoperative recovery. 2.After surgery, it is normal to feel a pulling sensation in the armpit or to see a “tendon” forming in the armpit within three months. This is normal because the axillary wound heals after surgery and a scar is formed under the skin. The scars reach their peak in about three months and then gradually soften and spread. This is a natural process, no need to be nervous. 3.After surgery, you should take the initiative to strengthen the upper limb activities, actively pulling the upper limb will promote the scar recovery. There may be a slight pain or pulling sensation during the activity, which is normal. 4. It is normal to feel numbness in the armpit area after surgery, which lasts for at least six months to a year.
