After having laparoscopic gall bladder surgery as a teenager there were some small metal staples/clips left in place as is standard in the procedure. I’m not sure of the exact location of the metal (nor its makeup) and how close it would be to the Emsculpt abdominal treatment area. Is Emsculpt a possibility for me?

Answer: Can I get Emsculpt if I had gallbladder removal surgery 20 years ago?
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.
I would recommend either of the following 3 non-surgical options either alone or in combination: Secret RF (Microneedling with radiofrequency), Ultherapy, and PDO threads. Make sure you are getting treatment from a board-certified physician or other experienced health care professional.
