Emtone after lipo: how soon is too soon?

Question

Hello, I had lipo a week ago on my saddle bags and inner thighs. Everything went well and I am recovering very nicely. I am looking at the Emtone device (radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy) to tighten skin and help with the appearance of cellulite and I was wondering how soon is too soon to start the treatment. My surgeon is not familiar with Emtone, a fairly new technology, so it would put me at ease to gather some thoughts from experts on Realself. Thank you for your time.

Dear mistinguetteamandine,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

we start trusculpt ID/Flex 2-4 weeks after lipo and combine It with shock therapy, and RF treatments. this can be done In a series and then every 2-4 weeks to maintain. also should be doing hormonal optimization with peptides and hcg post surgery to further tighten skin and loose weight (see link).  Best, Dr. Emer.
