Can I have Emsculpt after umbilical hernia surgery 1 year ago?

HuriCainJun 12, 2022
Hi the clinic in my area was uncertain about being able to do EmSculpt on my abdomen due to having Umbilical herrnia surgery last year(Oct 2021). I can see how that would pose a problem, so my 1st question is would i ever be able to do EmSculpt on my abdomen in the future or is that pretty much a no? Also my 2nd question, if EmSculpt is not a possibility for me would EmTone be a viable option? Thanks so much!

I typically recommend my patience to come in for a maintenance treatment once every 3 months. If you've already had 4-6 sessions one year prior, you may have additional session up to 4 at that time.
