I have had bilateral knee replacements. I’m not sure it’s safe to work on my stomach area and then buttocks. Can it heat up the metal in my body?
Answer: EMSculpt with knee replacements? The knees are far enough away from the abdomen and buttocks that the electromagnetic field should not effect them. A hip replacement would be a contraindication, but not a knee replacement.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa Aesthetic Centers

Answer: Is Emsculpt safe for people with knee replacements? Hi ivc,Most experts in the use of Emsculpt agree that it is safe to have the abdominals and buttocks treated in patients who have knee replacement since the electromagnetic waves do not travel far enough to heat metal implants in the knees. Good luck and be well.Dr. Persky

Answer: EMSCULPT - needs lifelong treatments if you are looking for fat reduction i suggest collsculpting or truesculpt ID + Vanquish and EMSCULPT ongoing. these treatments need "forever" treatment to maintain results. EMSCULPT can be used in those with knee replacements but should be avoided in hip or back hardware. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: EMSculpt After Knee Replacement In general, EMSculpt should not be performed directly over areas where there are metal implants. The abdomen and buttocks should be safe to treat. I would recommend you find out exactly what type of implants were used for your knee replacement and then obtain an in-person consultation and evaluation with an experienced EMSculpt physician. Best wishes.

Answer: EMSculpt EMSculpt defines and sculpts. It does this by utilizing magnetic stimulation to cause muscular super contractions. It would not be an issue if you don't have any metal plates or implants in those areas. I would still confirm with your doctor to make sure.
