Liposuction is not as reliable as local injections to treat excessive underarm sweating.

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the armpit is now treated with liposuction. The technique is used to remove or destroy the sweat glands so they can no longer produce perspiration.

Liposuction for treatment of hyperhidrosis of the armpit.

How does liposuction treat hyperhidrosis?

The sweat glands of the armpit are located just under the skin. With liposuction the doctor uses a small tube to suck out the superficial layer of fat in the armpit where the sweat glands are located.

How effective is liposuction for treatment of hyperhidrosis?.

Because the Doctor performing the procedure cannot see the sweat glands they are going in blind so even with the most experienced operators the results are highly variable and cannot be guaranteed.

Because local injections into the armpit give more reliable results and are less invasive, surgery should only be considered as a last resort when other measures have failed.
