I have had two hernia surgeries and my abdominal wall is covered with mesh. Will the laser destroy this message or is it still safe to have this procdure done?
Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. SculpSure is a very safe procedure, however, it is important that you determine your candidacy by consulting with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Hernia Repair & Sculpsure Results--Add Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, VASER Yes, you can have Sculpsure after hernia repair. Keep in mind, with Sculpsure a combination of treatments is needed. I recommend combining Sculpsure with Vanquish and Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. We currently use a fire and ice treatment with Coolsculpting and Vanquish for good results in fat removal. However, a VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results with fat removal, contouring and definition. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: SculpSure and mesh There is no problem with SculpSure being used over a hernia that has been repaired with mesh. However, you need sensation to the skin to prevent a burn during a SculpSure session. So, if your skin is numb over the area of the hernia repair, then SculpSure should not be performed in that area.Good Luck!

Answer: Abdominal mesh The laser only impacts the subcutaneous fat layer and will not affect deeper structures like an abdominal mesh. It should be a safe procedure for you to explore.

Answer: SculpSure and Mesh Hernias are a contraindication with the SculpSure treatment. If repair has been performed and mesh has been used, you may not be a candidate for treatment. It is best to to be evaluated by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can evalute your abdomen and placement of mesh.
