I'm considering getting a series of Emsculpt treatments, primarily to help with my mild-moderate diastasis recti following two pregnancies. But I have a 2cm hiatal hernia. Is it dangerous to get Emsculpt, even if the hernia is so high up - essentially in my diaphragm? Thank you.

Must plastic surgeons have no issue doing liposuction in the presence of a moderate or small umbilical hernia.
Some perhaps more conservative providers or those who are a bit unsure of themselves may want patients to get the umbilical hernia repaired before having liposuction.
Personally I...
If the tear is very recent, I would avoid it because of the pulling. If it is at least 12 weeks old, then you should be able to do this treatment. However, please ask your orthopedic surgery who has examined you before doing any treatment.
