Is EmSculpt safe for patients with metal tubal ligation clips?

A
atomic66Jan 15, 2019

I’m getting EmSculpt on my buttocks and I had my first session today. I have metal clips on my fallopian tubes from a prior tubal ligation surgery. My doctor’s office said I should be fine but I felt slight cramping in my lower pelvic area during the treatment that happened around 6 hours ago, and as of now my pelvic area feels much more sore than my buttock area. I cannot find any information on this online, and I have contacted BTL with my question but have not heard back.

Hi Coldrobin,Fortunately there are two different settings for the Emsculpt treatment.  One preserves fat while building muscle (this is the setting that would be used on your buttocks), the other setting builds muscle and decreases fat.  You can put your fears of losing buttock fat "behind" y...

Hi,Based on your photos you may be a candidate for both treatments. Coolsculpt will destroy more fat cells than Emsculpt, however, Emsculpt has the added benefit of muscle stimulation for optimal abdomen definition. Coolsculpt combined WITH Emsculpt may be the best fit for you! This syn...

Hi Cattwofour,It would be best to wait until you have completely healed from your breast surgery prior to having Emsculpt, or you could choose to have a complete 4 sessions Emsculpt treatment before surgery.  It would be okay to have the final of your 4 Emsculpt treatments a day or two before ...

Hello,It would be best if you went to your nearest physician for an assessment but 2 weeks is likely too soon for Emsculpt after a surgical procedure such as liposuction. It's hard to say if you're a good candidate without seeing a photo but typically Emsculpt is a great option to enhance your...
