I want to go through the four Emsculpt sessions but I read online you can not while breastfeeding. So if there is no medications involved why can you not breastfeed?
Answer: Emsculpt and Breast Feeding Hi Intuitive,It is okay to have Emsculpt when breastfeeding, it does not affect your breasts or milk whatsoever. Emsculpt does help build the abdominal muscles and decrease diastasic recti. Good luck and stay well there in NYC. Dr. P

Answer: EMSculpt and breastfeeding EMSculpt is just causing hypercontractions of the muscle, and building that muscle, so there is no contraindication with breastfeeding. That would be like saying you can't workout if you are breastfeeding. It's perfectly safe.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Answer: EmSculpt while breastfeeding? Hello Intuitive7540:Thanks for your great question. EmSculpt actually is contraindicated while pregnant or breastfeeding. The concern with breastfeeding is that you might have a higher level of lactic acidosis in the blood temporarily after the treatment. Because of the number and strength of these supramaximal contractions, the level may be higher than it is with exercise, and the effect of this on the infant has not been studied. There is a method, however, of expressing milk that may be high in lactic acid after a treatment. So there should be a work-around. I hope this information is helpful to you!Sheryl Clark MD FAADDirector, Flagship EmSuite in NYC for EmSculpt and EmSella treatments and demonstrations of the devices to other physicians
