Emsculpt touch up after 1 year- would I benefit from a few more sessions? (photos)

Question

I had 5 Emsculpt treatments done over a year ago. I was 20 lbs heavier (post partum) so I am not sure if it helped that much. I know I am a candidate for tummy tuck, but need to wait until my youngest is a little older. Would I benefit from a few more sessions? If so, weekly? I have carried weight in this part of my body my whole life due to genetics and poor lifestyle choices.

I typically recommend my patience to come in for a maintenance treatment once every 3 months. If you've already had 4-6 sessions one year prior, you may have additional session up to 4 at that time.

I would suggest liposuction first, and then follow with more EMSculpt treatments. Wait until you have all the children you want before having a tummy tuck. With where you are now, liposuction and EMSculpt may be all you need.

It doesn't look like you have far to go here or that you have a lot of skin laxity, which is great! You will likely see more dramatic results this time around since you're not carrying as much weight around the midsection. If you didn't do it before, try the Emsculpt NEO, which combines the benefits of strength-building through high-intensity focused magnetic energy and radiofrequency, which is a deep heating modality that kills fat cells resulting in much more fat reduction. The original Emsculpt had only the magnetic energy. I recommend starting with a series of another 4 Emsculpt NEO treatments.

This device causes temporary muscle strengthening. I doubt you’ll see much change having skin laxity and subcutaneous fat covering your abdominal muscles.

If you have money to burn and time on your hands you can always try it but it is a temporary treatment that primarily gives muscle bulk.

If you want to reduce your midsection you could consider liposuction. If you’re open for a tummy tuck then perhaps simply waiting until the time is right and doing that procedure is the way to go.

Delivering consistent quality liposuction results is more difficult than most people believe so it is imperative patients find the most talented and experienced providers to minimize the chance of having undesirable outcomes.

Best,
