ABSTRACT

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, is a common disorder. Numerous treatments, usually temporary and with important side effects and poor results, have been used. These include aluminum chloride, iontophoresis, anticholinergic drugs, surgical excision, botulinum toxin, and endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. Liposuction, generally used with cosmetic purposes, is a technique that has shown important improvement of hyperhidrosis and few side effects. A case of a 38-year-old female with axillary and inguinal hyperhidrosis treated with liposuction is presented.
