I have arthritis in my knee and take Meloxicam. When can I take this medication after SculpSure?

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you discuss your recovery progress and instructions with your board certified facial plastic surgeon and medical team.
Best wishes,

Given that meloxicam is an anti-inflammatory medication and you do not want to inhibit the inflammatory response from the treatment, it would be recommended to avoid meloxicam for a period of time.  This is not an exact science, but as a general rule I would recommend avoiding meloxicam until you no longer have any soreness from the area treated.

Part of the efficacy of the SculpSure is the reabsorption of the destroyed fat cells and that is based on an inflammatory reaction.  The general recommendation is not to use any anti inflammatories for 6 weeks after the procedure.

it is more theory than hard fact about avoiding anti-inflammatories. i personally doubt taking them will diminish your results. david berman md
