- To ensure the best results in sympathectomy, a minimally invasive thoracic surgery used to treat excessive sweating and pathological blushing, it is crucial for the patient to be in optimal health before the operation. This minimizes the chances of complications and contributes to a safer and more effective recovery. Although the technique used minimizes trauma, the patient’s overall stability before surgery is key to ensuring a smooth recovery process.
- Even though sympathectomy for treating excessive sweating and pathological blushing is minimally invasive, it is essential to be in optimal health before surgery to reduce complications and ensure a safer postoperative recovery.
Don't go it alone...
For years, we have heard testimonials like this:
“I wasted my time on the internet reading about hyperhidrosis surgery, I got confused, and I believed things that didn’t apply to my case… The only real information was what the surgeon told me during the consultation, the rest was useless.” Don’t waste any more time online, start the right way.
