Plastic Surgery for Men – All Treatments

A More Comfortable Everyday Life

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is a condition in which the body produces more sweat than necessary. Many men find that sweat soaks through their shirts and T-shirts, causing them to feel self-conscious during meetings or social events and making it difficult to feel comfortable.

At Capio, we offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments for excessive underarm sweating. During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will assess which treatment is best suited to your symptoms and your preferences.

We'll find the right treatment for you

No two men experience hyperhidrosis in the same way. That’s why all treatments begin with a thorough consultation, during which we review your symptoms, expectations, and treatment options.

Depending on your situation, treatment may include Botox or surgical reduction of the sweat glands, among other options. The goal is to reduce sweat production and give you greater freedom in your daily life.

Treatment of Excessive Sweating in Men

Before treatment

During the initial consultation, you’ll talk with the plastic surgeon about your sweating issues, and you’ll review the treatment options that are best for you. You’ll receive information about the expected results, any risks, and how to best prepare. If you’re scheduled for surgery, you’ll also receive guidance on medication, smoking, shaving your armpits, and other practical preparations.

The Treatment Itself

Treatment depends on your genes.

In milder cases, Botox can reduce sweat production for several months. For more severe symptoms, a plastic surgeon may recommend surgical treatment to reduce or remove the sweat glands. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment method.

After the treatment

After treatment, you can usually go home the same day. It’s normal to experience mild tenderness, swelling, and discoloration during the first few days. You’ll receive instructions on dressing care, pain management, and when you can return to work, exercise, and other activities. If you’ve had surgery, you should avoid vigorous arm movements at first to allow the area to heal properly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excessive Sweating

What is hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the body produces more sweat than necessary. In men, it often occurs in the armpits and can affect work, sports, and social situations.

What is the best treatment for men who sweat excessively?

It depends on how pronounced your symptoms are. Some men see good results with Botox, while others benefit most from surgical treatment. During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will assess which solution is best for you.

How long do the results last?

Botox typically lasts for 3–6 months, while surgical treatments can provide a more lasting reduction in sweat production.

Does the treatment hurt?

Botox causes only minor discomfort at the injection sites. Surgical procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia, so the procedure itself is experienced as causing minimal pain.

When can I go back to work?

Most men can quickly return to their normal daily activities. However, if you’ve had surgery, it’s recommended that you avoid vigorous arm movements at first, and whether you need to take sick leave depends on your job.

Will the treatment leave visible scars?

Botox does not leave any scars. With surgical treatment, there will be small or larger scars depending on the method chosen, but the plastic surgeon will place them as discreetly as possible.
