I had a laparoscopic myomectomy 4 weeks ago (2/7). 7 fibroids removed (1 big, almost all pedunculated). Healing perfectly so far. My surgeon cleared me today to resume all exercise (boxing, strength training, etc.). I want to do Emsculpt on my abdomen but need to know when it will be 100% safe for me to do it? I don’t want to ask my surgeon, I’m worried she might judge me... (she’s wonderful, never been judgmental, I just feel embarrassed asking about cosmetic procedure). Thank you
