Is Fat Cavitation Treatment Safe with Umbilical Hernia Repair?

December 2, 2012
Asked By:RR11

I have had umbilical hernia repair about 15 years ago in the uk and I'm not sure if mesh was used. I have recently had 2 sessions of fat cavitation treatments and during the second session while having the radio frequency, I experienced zapping through my abdominal area followed by a small red rash. Is this safe ?
