How soon after having liposuction is it safe to use my EMS device on abdomen and thighs (the Flex Belt and Flex Belt mini)?

Question

Thanks!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I assume you want to use the EMS as a strength training tool for athletic purposes to prevent or retard atrophy of muscles during your lipo recovery. Just as you should not perform strenuous exercises for 6 weeks in cases of uncomplicated healing or until instructed by your PS, I would postpone the use of EMS until your PS approves. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

It's essential to consult with your surgeon or a medical professional for personalized advice. In many cases, after liposuction, you should wait several weeks to months before using EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) devices on the treated areas. This allows for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. Your surgeon can provide specific guidance based on your individual recovery progress and medical history.

Thanks for writing,As a general rule it take our bodies 6 weeks to heal. I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon because this will depend on the areas treated. Good luckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACS
