Atrial fibrillation & iLipo treatment?

Question

Can I be treated with the iLipo machine around my abdomen if I have atrial fibrillation & hypertension? I am taking meds to control but am interested in this procedure. Thank you.

I suggest you speak to your cardiologist.  Your heart is more important than you body shape, which is cosmetic. Best, Dr. Emer.

Greetings.  It would be beneficial to discuss with your primary physician and your cardiologist.  Ultimately, your safety is the primary concern. Good luck!

Jeffrey Ditesheim, MD, FACS · Answer

ilipo is a technology that uses a belt of sensors that pass light energy through the skin to melt fat cells.  How the light energy can alter heart rhythm is unknown.  Multiple treatments are usually recommended and are done in a spa setting, often without a doctor present.  Contrast this with a plastic surgery OR where there is a certified facility to take care of emergencies and a doctor who is specialized in anesthesia to take care of you should your heart act up.  The safety is not even comparable.The other question is will a "less invasive" machine really get rid of the stubborn fat???Attached is a new procedure that uses a water jet to permanently remove stubborn fat, in a safe setting.
