Retrodermal Curettage Suck out those sweat glands - similar to a liposuction technique, using similar instruments, this type of surgery uses sub-dermal curettage – scraping of the tissue under the skin. Retrodermal Curettage – performed under local anaesthetic, the surgeon makes small incisions around the armpit area, an anaesthetic liquid is fed under the skin. A surgical tool is used along the skins under-surface to scrape out as many sweat glands as possible. In addition to the scraping, a liposuction tube is used to suck out the debris. This procedure does not seem to be popular with UK surgeons, yet high success rates are claimed by US surgeons. As with all surgery, side effects are possible, including loss of sensation in the armpits. Try iontophoresis before surgery - it's safer and the success rates are extremely good. Even after exhausting all other methods of treatment, surgery should only be considered after discussing the potential pitfalls with a relevant medical professional. |
