Can body odor surgery be completely eradicated?

Body odor surgery can be completely eradicated, but it cannot guarantee 100% cure.

First, the principle of body odor surgery is usually to reduce odor by removing or destroying apocrine glands that produce odor under the armpit. Currently, commonly used surgical methods include traditional surgical resection and minimally invasive surgery. These methods can effectively remove apocrine glands to a certain extent. If the surgical operation is accurate and thorough, there is indeed a great chance to achieve radical cure and completely eliminate body odor symptoms.

However, the effect of surgery is affected by many factors. On the one hand, the distribution of apocrine glands is complicated, and there may be some small branches or hidden parts that are difficult to completely discover and remove, which leads to a small amount of apocrine glands remaining after surgery, which may lead to recurrence. On the other hand, the surgery itself has certain limitations, such as postoperative complications, such as bleeding, infection, subcutaneous hematoma, etc., which may also affect the final effect of surgery. In addition, individual differences are also very important. The number, distribution and recovery ability of apocrine glands vary from person to person, which also affects the success rate of radical surgery.

Body odor surgery has the possibility of complete radical cure, but it is restricted by many factors. Patients should fully understand the pros and cons and risks of surgery before deciding to undergo surgery.
