I'm not a good candidate for surgery , due to having COPD.. I am a breast cancer survivor and was turned down for reconstruction. The chemo left me with some health issues, one being edema and weight gain, I'd never had before. I went from ( pre--chemo) 128 lbs to currently 210 lbs. I've tried everything and it will not come off. Will this help me??
Answer: SculpSure Thank you for your question. SculpSure is intended to be a body contouring procedure. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Sculpsure, Coolsculpting, Vanquish, Thermi Sculpsure is a noninvasive laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.It is not covered by insurance since it is cosmetic. The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health.The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12. There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of her patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatmentSince I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results. I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals.

Answer: Is SculpSure covered by Medicaid and Medicare? SculpSure would not be covered by Medicaid or Medicare because it is considered an elective cosmetic procedure. Additionally, SculpSure is not a weight loss treatment but rather a procedure to help reduce isolated areas of unwanted fat.
