Hi - I had a right hemicolectomy to treat my colon cancer eight years ago. If I get EmSculpt, it won’t somehow loosen or separate the place where my small intestine and colon were attached were they? I don’t know how that area is secured and don’t want it to somehow open? I’ve had CTs, EGD, and colonoscopies since then but no other abdominal tests or procedures. I’d like to use the EmScuplt only on my abdomen. Thanks!
Answer: Surgery You should be fine with EMSculpt since it will not affect your internal organs. It treats abdominal muscles outside of your organs and fat.

Answer: 8 years after hemicolectomy. Would Emsculpt in the abdominal area affect placement of small intestine / colon? Thank you for your questions. The only true answer is that nobody knows. I am willing to bet there is no FDA study on EmSculpt in patients with prior abdominal colectomy. That being said, I think that after evaluating you, most practitioners would assume it would be safe to proceed with the treatment but you would have to discuss the risks in detail with the provider. The biggest problem with The EmSculpt is that it is being placed into the hands of providers who have no surgical knowledge or expertise and are completely inadequate to address concerns such as the ones you are bringing up.

Answer: Emsculpt While I do not offer Emsculpt, no fat burning or dissolving technology that I am aware of penetrates the muscle and affects internal organs. You should be safe.

Answer: Emsculpt after hemicolectomy I’m assuming you have a colectomy it was straightforward and you had a primary anastomosis with closure of your abdominal wall. meaning that you do not have a colostomy.
