Emsculpt for lax muscles after TT? (Photo)

You appear to be a great candidate for EMSculpt. EMSculpt will build, strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles while burning about 20% of the overlying fat. I've personally had these treatements and it definitely helped flatten my stomach. We recommend quarterly maintenance treatments to keep your result.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

EmSculpt is a device which provides muscle toning via high frequency electromagnetic stimulation. It is being employed for abdominal and gluteal toning. Patients will undergo 4-6 treatments over 2-3 weeks (depending upon the area treated). These treatments are relatively low intensity and patients will commonly be engaged with a smart device (phone/tablet) for the duration.
With regards to your specific question, EMSculpt can be a helpful adjunct to an abdominoplasty. Prior scarring does not disqualify you. However, the results of EMSculpt therapy must be maintained by exercise and/or repeat treatments.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD

EMSculpt helps achieve a toned and sculpted body. It is okay to do EMSculpt after TT. It might help deliver desired results. Consult a doctor to know more.

Based on the photos you have provided, you are an excellent candidate for Emsculpt. You have good skin elasticity and muscles that you are able to suck in, but which could be improved. I am sorry to hear that your surgeon did not achieve the level of abdominal repair and tightening you were looking for! Emsculpt will trigger supramaximal muscle contractions of your abdominal muscles: this type of muscle contraction is not achievable at a gym. In four sessions of Emsculpt, spaced three to four days apart, you can strengthen and define your abdominal muscles. I hope that this information is useful to you: maybe you already are enjoying the results of Emsculpt! 

Great question! Your photos really demonstrate your problem. EmSculpt should help you keep your abdominal muscles toned so you don't have to think to suck them in! Usually pour patients start their EmSculpt treatments 3 months after their initial tummy tucks! Consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon may help determine the best plan to address your high scars. Good luck! 

Thank you for your question and posting your pictures. You should be a good candidate for Emsculpt and the high incision marks should not interfere with your results. If I saw you in the office for a consultation my precautionary remarks would be your age and female status. As we age, it is more difficult to develop and maintain muscle mass despite exercise. This most likely relates to declining hormone levels. Thus, you may see a less robust response to the Emsculpt treatments than a younger person would. That being said, you should still see improvements with the Emsculpt treatments.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Hi! We’ve treated multiple patients with Emsculpt after tummy tuck and have had great results. Many times the shape of the abdomen protrudes due to weak muscle. Emsculpt addresses the muscle by building new muscle and burns fat. Tummy tuck only deals with fat so if muscle looseness is an issue the surgery won’t help with that. 

From your pictures, you would be an excellent candidate for EmSculpt treatment.  The HIFEM technology is all about muscle stimulation and toning and if you can get the desired appearance by holding your tummy in you should get a great result with EmSculpt treatments.

 I can't speak on behalf of how your procedure was performed but at least from the limited pictures you've shown results are not impressive.  Most likely the best way to get a tight flat abdomen is to redo the tummy tuck completely.  Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
