Do any of these symptoms apply to you?

If any of these situations feel familiar, a consultation could be the right first step.

  • Constant sweating on the hands: "My palms sweat so much that I smudge paper when writing, I feel embarrassed shaking hands or objects slip out of my grip."
  • Frequent sweat stains on clothing: "I sweat heavily under my arms 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.

Assess your sweating pattern in detail during the consultation to confirm whether you are a candidate for thoracic sympathectomy.

Interrupt the nerve signal causing excess sweating of the hands, underarms or face through a minimally invasive procedure.

Use millimetric video-assisted incisions (VATS) for a safe procedure with virtually imperceptible scars.

Give you a noticeable change from the moment of the procedure so you can resume your routine with peace of mind.

Provide direct support during your recovery to monitor your results consistently.

How it works

  1. 1

    Consultation and assessment

    I examine your case, we identify the areas of greatest sweating and review your health history to determine whether the procedure is indicated.

  2. 2

    Planning and surgery

    I explain the procedure clearly and perform it using video assistance with millimetric chest incisions to block the signal causing excess sweating.

  3. 3

    I follow your progress closely to verify sweating control and ensure a swift return to your usual activities.

Frequently asked questions

What is thoracic sympathectomy and how does it work?
It is a procedure in which I make a small incision to block the nerve ganglia that send the excessive sweat signal to the hands, underarms or face, effectively stopping the stimulus.
Is sympathectomy surgery painful?
You feel nothing during the procedure because it is performed under general anesthesia. Afterwards it is normal to feel mild discomfort or pressure in the chest, which we control easily with the pain relief I prescribe.
What is compensatory sweating and how likely is it?
It is an effect in which the body redirects part of the sweating to areas such as the back, abdomen or thighs. We evaluate this in the prior consultation so you can make an informed, confident decision.
When are the results of the procedure noticeable?
The effect in the treated areas is immediate.
How long before returning to work?
Most patients resume work or study within 3 to 5 days. Intense physical effort should be avoided during the first two weeks.
What does a hyperhidrosis consultation cost in Montería?
An in-person consultation at office 1406, Torre Riverpark in Montería costs 200,000 COP and a teleconsultation 170,000 COP. Surgery is assessed case by case and depending on whether it is private.
