I have a small metal plate in my ankle, but I am interested in Exilis elite on my belly fat, upper stomach. Is this possible?

Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis. Although it shouldn't interfere with abdominal treatments if it is located in your ankle, there can still be a risk of developing tissue damage around any metal. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Hello there. Exilis is contraindicated on anyone with metal in their body. There is a possibility that the metal will heat up, causing injury to the tissue surrounding it. If you have more questions, I would recommend consulting with an expert in body contouring. Cheers! Sarah RN BSN

The metal in ankle should not interfere with the treatment. You should inform your physician of all the surgeries hardware pacemakers etc.
