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: Sculpsure and Burst Appendix It is unlikely that Sculpsure caused your appendix to burst. A Sculpsure treatment doesn't penetrate deep enough to disturb the intestines. If you remain concerned, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Keep in mind, it takes a combination approach to get the best, smoothest result with Sculpsure. I recommend combining Sculpsure with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments to get the smoothest results. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. SculpSure is incredibly safe, and we have not seen any complications other than minor swelling. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: There is absolutely no way SculpSure caused inflammation of your appendix I'm sorry to hear about your painful experience with SculpSure. I have personally performed over 3000 SculpSure procedures to date and personally have had the treatment on my abdomen and flanks twice. The treatment may feel like pressure, pinching or burning, but it should definitely not be painful and I have never had a patient scream as you describe. SculpSure technology simply cannot penetrate deep enough under the muscle to cause any intestinal issue. The nodule formation you have is an indication of your body's appropriate response to the treatment. They go away with gentle massage and increased fluid intake, it can take weeks to months, but it will go away. It is advised to have 2 treatment sessions for each area in order to achieve results. I am sure your doctor will be seeing you soon for another treatment and they will examine you accordingly. If you have had the surgery to remove the appendix, then, it is best to wait about 6 months before next treatment for abdomen to heal. It is also good to be cautious as not to have any applicators go over the scar tissue directly. I'm sorry your experience wasn't great but I hope that you will get the results you were hoping for. Wishing you speedy recovery . Best, Dr.Avaliani

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.
