Can I get Emsculpt if I had gallbladder removal surgery 20 years ago?

Hi Salessandre,In general, Emsculpt is contra-indicated in patients who have any metal implants.  There are some providers who have safely treated patients with Titanium staples from previous surgery as it is felt that titanium does not heat up from elctromagnetic energy.  It is essential that prospective Emsculpt patients share with their treating physician all implants in their body to ensure a safe treatment without adverse complications.  Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

Thanks for the question, as someone who has two emsculpts and uses it to the max I would likely say no. The energy at the tip of the cone is significant and I wouldn't take the chance because heating up an old staple could cause serious damage

Hello and thank you for your question. EMSculpt can be safely performed on the abdomen after gallbladder surgery. However, I would recommend an in-person consultation and evaluation with an experienced physician provider prior to treatment. Best wishes.

This would need an in-person evaluation.If you are looking for fat reduction, I suggest Coolsculpting or truesculpt ID + Vanquish and EMSCULPT ongoing. These treatments need "forever" treatment to maintain results.  EMSCULPT can be used, but should be avoided in areas of hardware.  Best, Dr. Emer.

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.

Hi, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, a metal implant is a contraindication to the Emsculpt device. Therefore, you would not be an ideal candidate for the treatment. Please seek a certified health care provider to determine if there are other options for you.

Thank you for your question. It is safe to have Emsculpt done after a gallbladder surgery. Please consult your provider and always seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
