Is it best to do Emsculpt first then lipo or vice versa?

Question

I think I want to increase abdominal muscle mass AND get rid of flank and abdomen fat. I work out 6 days a week.   Male patient.  Thanks!

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

The benefits of EMSculpt are two fold. Studies have documented an increase in muscle fiber density and thickness/diameter as well as a decrease in fat.19% fat reduction16% increase in muscle mass.44 cm decrease in the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer4.4 cm waist line reductionResults can take 3-6 months to become apparent. With this in mind, I would recommend EMSculpt first which can then be followed by liposuction as needed.As always, discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Depending upon the cost of the additional treatment I'd have you consider simply undergoing liposuction and using exercises to enhance your abdominal musculature. One must weigh the added cost versus the relative significance of the benefit of such additional treatments. Best wishes,Jon A.
