In this patient the tumescent liposuction-curettage procedure was performed. Discussion: Treatment of hyperhidrosis with both topical and systemic agents generally provides only temporary suppression of hyperhidrosis. In severe, disturbing cases, the treatment of choice for axillary hyperhidrosis is the surgical procedure. Combination of liposuction-curettage surgical method using tumescent anesthesia is relatively simple and safe.

This surgical technique has many advantages, such as relatively minimal injury dan short recovery period.
