I had SculpSure done on my abdomen, months after I still had lumps. Very painful on my right side. When I called the Dr. , she said the pain was all in my head! A few months later my appendix burst. I know that SculpSure caused that to happen. How many people does this occur in? During the treatment I was screaming at the amount of pain it was causing on my right side. It was torture. And then she just blows me off when I called her office regarding the lump.

Answer: Burst appendix after SculpSure When a SculpSure treatment is done to the abdomen, the laser only reaches to the fat that is just under the skin. The laser would not reach far enough to enter anywhere in the abdominal cavity, which is where the appendix is. I understand your frustration, but I cannot imagine any way that your SculpSure treatment would have caused an appendix to burst. In regards to the lumps, these can occur in some people and do tend to go away over time. Sometimes, this can take several months. It is difficult to know if the pain you were feeling after the treatment on your right side was due to your appendix or the SculpSure treatment.

Answer: SculpSure causing ruptured appendix ? Aloha, I am very sorry that this happened to you. Many of my patients have "nodules", these subside after a few weeks to months. I had several treatments myself and also had small lumps, massaging the area is a great way to prevent or break down those lumps. The laser only targets subcutaneous fatty tissue and can't penetrate organs, it is therefore unlikely that your laser procedure caused inflammation to your appendix resulting it to rupture. Again, I am sorry you had to have a surgical procedure and hope you recovered fully. Mahalo, Dr. Rudy
