Objective. To evaluate and permanently improve axillary hyperhidrosis. Background. Excessive sweating of the axillae is a common problem for which patients frequently seek dermatologic advice and therapy. Many treatments, including aluminum chloride, topical and systemic anticholinergic agents, tranquilizers, iontophoresis, direct surgical excision, botulinum toxin injection, and thoracic sympathectomy, have been employed to control this problem. All have drawbacks of one sort or another. Methods. The starch‐iodine technique for delineation of preoperative and postoperative axillary sweating is described in detail. A method of sweat gland removal utilizing tumescent liposuction is discussed. Results and conclusion. The combination of the starch‐iodine technique and tumescent liposuction is safe and effective for therapy of axillary hyperhidrosis.
