32, how long do I have to wait after having minor umbilical hernia repair to do Emsculpt? (Photo)

ajmuro19Nov 26, 2023
I have an umbilical hernia in my belly button where it’s a pudge of fat. I’m getting it repaired and the doctor said that there was no need for the surgery since no intestine was pushing through and it was a small hole covered by a pudge of fat. He’s going to repair using mesh. I elected to have it so no future problems would arise. I want to do emsculpt. How long should I wait before doing emsculpt? I’m 32 years old. Exercise 5 days a week and carry a lot of muscle. No health issues.

Thank you for your question. Emsculpt may be performed on the abdomen after lipo once your doctor has released you for physical activity and additional treatment. Emsculpt will help to rebuild the muscle and help with any additional fat in the area.
