Can I have Emsculpt with a mechanical aortic valve?

Question

I was born with aortic stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation when I was four years old I had my aortic valve replaced and my mitral valve repaired. I am now 21 years old, and I currently take warfarin and a few other heart medications.

Hello sibellam:Emsculpt should not be performed over or very near any metal implants. It is never performed over or near the heart, so you would be safe to have this treatment.Sheryl Clark MD FAAD

Hi Sibellam, 
Yes, you can have Emsculpt with a mechanical aortic valve. Emsculpt is essentially producing muscle contractions that focus mainly on the abdominal, glutes, and thigh area. There is no risk of bleeding or arrhythmia.
