This retrospective cohort study of 215 patients (430 axillae) found that older age was a risk factor for postoperative complications like epidermis decortication and skin necrosis following suction-curettage for bromhidrosis.
Complications occurred in 52 axillae (12.1%). Multinomial logistic analysis showed older age was a significant risk factor for epidermis decortication (P < 0.001) and skin necrosis (P = 0.001). The use of tumescent infiltration was associated with a significant difference in hematoma rates (P = 0.039). Patients with complications presented with more severe skin scarring, but none experienced limited range of motion after massage.
