Is ScuptSure safe if I have a small umbilical hernia? And are there any skin tightening benefits ? (photos)

Sculpsure is extremely safe.  It should not be placed over your hernia area, nor should it be placed over your umbilicus or belly button so that should not affect your treatment.  The straps and applicators are fashioned so that they will avoid this area keeping you safe during the treatment.

Thank you for your question.You would first need to be examined by your plastic surgeon.  You might have a diastasis recti which would be better served with having a tummy tuck.    The laser applicator should not be placed over the umbilical hernia or within the vicinity of the hernia. ( about 3-5cm away from the hernia )Sculpsure is not FDA approved for skin tightening but with the heat you might have some minimal skin improvement but it may not be significant enough for you to appreciate.Thank you

Thank you for your question, Dsb76. Yes, SculpSure can address the stubborn abdominal pooch. In fact, SculpSure can melt up to 25% of your unwanted subcutaneous fat in a short in-office treatment that provides the convenience of no downtime. For your safety, the SculpSure applicator should not be placed over the umblical hernia, however, it can be placed elsewhere along your tummy and still provide tremendous results. I suggest you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

I appreciate your question.Sculpsure unlike coolsculpting is safe if you have a small hernia. The applicators should not be placed within 5 cm of that area.  We have seen some skin tightening but its different for each person.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

You can still be treated, but we would want to avoid the area of the hernia. SculpSure is not advertising that there will be any skin tightnening at this time. I do think that you could get a nice reduction in the volume if you are not ready for a tummy tuck. Good luck!
