I had the surgery for hyperhidrosis to eliminate under arm sweating. It also eliminated hand sweating and my facial sweating, but remember when you do this, your body still needs to sweat so there’s compensation sweating. Unfortunately, I sweat profusely from just under the chest area down if I could go back 20 years, I never would’ve had that surgery.
