  • Frequent clothing stains from underarm sweat: "I sweat profusely in my armpits regardless of the weather or the deodorant I use."

Treatment goals

What we aim to achieve

Results vary by patient. Dra. Carmen Narváez Monterroza will assess you during the consultation.

To thoroughly evaluate your sweating pattern during a consultation to confirm if you may be a candidate for thoracic sympathectomy.

To interrupt the nerve stimulus causing excessive sweat in the hands, armpits, or face through a minimally invasive procedure.

To use millimeter-sized incisions via video (VATS) to achieve a safe procedure with nearly imperceptible scars.

To provide you with a noticeable change from the moment of the intervention, so you can return to your routine with ease.

To offer you direct support throughout your recovery process to continuously monitor your results.

How it works

  1. 1

    Consultation and Assessment

    I examine your case, identify the areas of most significant perspiration, and review your health history to determine if the procedure is suitable.

  2. 2

    Planning and Surgical Intervention

    I clearly explain the procedure and perform the video-assisted intervention using millimeter-sized incisions in the chest to block the signal that causes excessive sweating.

  3. 3

Frequently asked questions

What is thoracic sympathectomy and how does it work?
It is a minimally invasive procedure where I block the nerve ganglia that send excessive sweat signals to the hands, armpits, or face. This aims to effectively stop the stimulus.
Is sympathectomy surgery painful?
During the procedure, you won't feel anything because it is performed under general anesthesia. Post-operatively, it's normal to experience mild discomfort or pressure in the chest, which we can manage with the pain relief regimen I prescribe.
What is compensatory sweating and what are the chances of experiencing it?
It is an effect where the body redirects some sweating to areas such as the back, abdomen, or thighs. During the pre-operative consultation, we evaluate this aspect so you can make an informed and confident decision.
When are the results of the intervention noticeable?
The effect in the treated areas is typically immediate.
How long does recovery take to return to work?
Most patients resume their work or academic activities within 3 to 5 days. It is recommended to avoid intense physical exertion during the first two weeks.
What is the cost of a hyperhidrosis consultation in Montería?
An in-person consultation at office 1406 in Torre Riverpark in Montería costs 200,000 COP, and a teleconsultation costs 170,000 COP. The surgery is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and if performed privately.
