Programmed 6-Step Approach of Improved Liposuction-Curettage for Axillary Bromhidrosis

Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Liposuction-curettage is a long-standing and effective treatment for axillary bromhidrosis. However, residual malodor and skin necrosis typically occur following this treatment. Therefore, we improved this method to ensure fewer complications and better outcomes. Here, we have presented our programmed 6-step approach of improved liposuction-curettage. Methods The programmed 6-step approach of improved liposuction-curettage was used to remove the axillary apocrine glands. We used pointed and obtuse cannulas designed for liposuction-curettage. Results Patients treated using the programmed 6-step approach of improved liposuction-curettage did not experience any serious complications or residual malodor. Conclusion The programmed 6-step approach of improved liposuction-curettage was more effective than traditional surgery with respect to the treatment of axillary bromhidrosis.
