Asked By:Graceful39579 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Hi, I have an umbilical hernia, it's filled with fat therefore it cannot burst. I still go to the gym but I do not recall my doctor saying if whether I can go or not. I am on the waiting list to get it removed but its been a year now and I am still waiting. Could I still do Emsculpt on my abdomen area?

Thank you for your question! The treatment is 30 minutes long and its recommended to do 4 treatments over two weeks one day apart at least, plus two maintenance treatments two months later. What I can recommend would be propping your head on a pillow to help with the acid reflux. You don't need...
You may start to see results 2 weeks after your initial treatment sessions; some patients see and feel results after the very first treatment. However, full results will likely take up to 3 months. You should continue with a consistent normal workout routine, with emphasis on your abs.
Metals in the body are a contraindication for Emsculpt, and since ASD occluder has nickel and titanium, I'd strongly advise against it. You can try other body sculpting treatments instead.
