Can you do sculpture with a titanium hip?

Question

2012 had a totally hip replacement using titanium. Is sculp ture safe for that area

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. SculpSure should avoid the titanium area, but a close proximity should not affect the area. I suggest that you move forward by consulting with a board certified facial plastic surgeon as the health screening component of the consultation will address your concern in person.

Best wishes,

Sculpsure could only be done in areas other then your hip safely.  Although it really doesn't go deep enough to affect the hip.   I suggest hi definition sculpting to ensure the best options as hi def lipo may be a better choice. Best, Dr. Emer.

Sean Doherty, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes SculpSure treatments would be safe with your hip replacement. The applicators should not be placed over your implant. Your abdomen and waist would be safe zones to treat though.

David Finkle, MD · Answer

The laser will make a titanium hip heat up during a SculpSure session and it could be uncomfortable.  So, just make sure the applicator heads are not close to your hip.Good Luck!

Susan Chapman, MD · Answer

Hi , yes you can do Sculpsure in the presence of a joint-replaced hip.   This would be an excellent way to do some focal reduction of fatty tissue with no surgical risk or risk of infection, which is important for patients who have a joint replacement.

Best Regards,

Dr Chapman
