I had hernia repair in 1987. A surgical mesh was used. Does this preclude me from having vanquish?

Surgical Mesh in general does not use metal so that should be fine for Vanquish. You can check with your surgeon to be sure.#nonsurgicalfatreduction#vanquishfatreduction

Grace Liu, MD · Answer

Hi,Vanquish is not recommended over areas of any metal implants.  We have had this question before and my recommendation is always not to do the Vanquish if the surgical mesh has any possibility of metal.  One patient really wanted the procedure but I asked her to obtain the surgical report of her mesh for me to review before we could approve it.Warmly,Dr.Liu
