Hello, everyone^^

This is Kim Heongon Plastic Surgery Axillary Oily Sweat Clinic, where a board-certified plastic surgeon with 20 years of experience treating axillary bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis is on site.

When summer comes, many people feel stressed because of sweat odor and underarm odor. Some may think that in winter, when the weather is cold, they might not sweat as much...?

However, for people who secrete a lot of sweat and suffer from underarm odor, it is often difficult to stop worrying about it even during the cold winter season.

The condition experienced by people troubled by sweat odor like this is called bromhidrosis.

Bromhidrosis not only causes inconvenience in daily life, but can also affect interpersonal relationships. In this post, we will look at what to consider when choosing a hospital for bromhidrosis surgery and learn about SIT surgery, which can treat hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis at the same time.

Hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis are conditions that cause excessive sweating and unpleasant odor, respectively, and can lead to inconvenience in daily life. These two symptoms often occur together and may be related to genetic factors.

First, hyperhidrosis is a condition in which excessive sweating occurs due to an overreaction in nerve transmission. Depending on the cause and the amount of sweat produced, it is classified as localized or generalized hyperhidrosis, and when there is excessive sweating in the armpits, it can be accompanied by bromhidrosis.

Bromhidrosis is a condition in which sweat secreted by apocrine glands, which are sweat glands in the armpits, is broken down by bacteria and turns into fatty acids and ammonia, causing a foul odor.

Symptoms often appear as the secretion of sex hormones increases after puberty, which makes the apocrine glands more active. Since both conditions can cause inconvenience in daily life, active treatment is needed.

In the past, Botox injections, laser treatment, and medication were mainly used to treat hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis. However, these traditional treatment methods had several limitations.

Botox injections provide only temporary changes and require repeated procedures. They are also expensive and may cause side effects.

Laser treatment is effective at removing sweat glands on the skin surface, but it has limitations when it comes to removing sweat glands located deeper in the skin. In addition, side effects such as skin damage or scarring may occur.

Medication provides only temporary effects, and long-term use can cause side effects, making continuous management difficult.

At hospitals that perform bromhidrosis surgery, SIT (sweat gland removal) surgery, which can treat both conditions at the same time, is drawing attention.

The "minimally invasive micro AST instrument-assisted bromhidrosis surgery" (SIT surgery), designed to overcome the limitations of the existing treatments above, is a selective sweat gland removal technique that has recently gained attention.

This technique is performed using equipment such as endoscopy and ultrasound. After making a thin incision of about 3 mm near the armpit, the apocrine glands are removed using a suction device.

This surgical method has high patient satisfaction because of its low recurrence rate, low pain, and relatively short recovery period. In particular, it can precisely remove sweat glands in areas that are difficult to fully eliminate with traditional methods such as sympathectomy, showing excellent improvements in bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis.

Although SIT surgery is a relatively simple procedure, proper care and precautions are still necessary after surgery.

• It is important to rest during the recovery period. For about 2 to 3 days after surgery, you should rest and avoid lifting heavy objects or engaging in strenuous exercise.

• The surgical area must be kept clean. For about 2 weeks after surgery, be careful not to let water touch the surgical area when showering or bathing. Instead, it is recommended to wipe the area with a clean towel.

• For about 2 weeks after surgery, avoid alcohol and smoking. Alcohol and smoking can interfere with recovery of the surgical site and may cause inflammation, so they must be avoided.

• A compression garment should be worn for about 2 weeks after surgery. The compression garment helps recovery by securing the surgical area and promoting blood circulation.

• You should visit the hospital to monitor your progress after surgery. About 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery, you should visit the hospital to check the condition of the surgical area and receive any necessary care.

If you follow the above guidelines well, you can expect a fast and safe recovery after SIT surgery.

If you are considering SIT surgery at a bromhidrosis surgery hospital to improve both hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis at the same time, there are a few factors to consider.

• The specialist’s experience and skill: You should check whether the specialist has extensive experience and know-how in this field. The specialist’s skill is very important in achieving successful surgical results.

• Surgical method and technique: SIT surgery is performed using an endoscope. Using an endoscope allows for more accurate and safer surgery, and can shorten both the surgery time and the recovery period.

• Postoperative care system: You should check whether a systematic postoperative care system is provided. Proper care is necessary to achieve quick recovery and good results after surgery.

If you make a careful decision while considering these factors, you will be able to achieve satisfying results that improve both hyperhidrosis and bromhidrosis.

If you have been troubled by having both bromhidrosis and hyperhidrosis, or if you have been looking for a bromhidrosis surgery hospital because you did not feel any improvement with existing treatment methods, considering SIT surgery may be a good choice.

Through a detailed consultation with the medical staff specializing in bromhidrosis surgery hospitals, I hope you find the treatment method that suits you and enjoy a comfortable daily life without worrying about underarm sweat odor.
