I have a small umbilical hernia since having kids which rules out coolsculpt and I don't have time in the foreseeable future for the downtime I would need post tummy tuck. Is sculpt sure an option to help decrease this stubborn abdominal pooch? I'm athletic and healthy, weighing 135 lb and 5'5. I would love it if it also helped tighten skin (If wishes were horses...)

Answer: Sculpsure vs coolsculpting 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

Answer: Can you have SculpSure with a hernia? 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!
