Is a SculpSure treatment safe 6 months post op tummy tuck? Will this treatment interfere with the tummy tuck scar?

SculpSure is a safe procedure, and is unlikely to interfere with tummy tuck scar tissue.  As a non-invasive lipolysis device, SculpSure dives past your dermis for minimal
absorption and then penetrates deeply to destroy subcutaneous fat. SculpSure is the only FDA-approved laser to provide the quickest
treatment (25-minutes) and easiest recovery (none). Patients complete the
treatment and walk out of our office ready to resume their ordinary activities.
I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon
to receive the highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available.

Yes. SculpSure is absolutely safe after a
tummy tuck. SculpSure’s clinical guidelines include a precaution about
treating directly over scars, but we have not found this to be an issue.
An experienced physician with SculpSure should be well-qualified to work
around any scar tissue that you may have on the abdomen and help you achieve a
safe and excellent result.


One point we always
address with this concern is whether the fat that the patient is seeking to
target is just an overall excess in the abdomen, or an abnormality where fat
has accumulated right along the suture line, creating a weird contour. If you
have the latter, where fat has created a strange, unnatural contour for your
body, we tend to recommend laser liposuction, because it gives the surgeon more
control in correcting the contours and overall silhouette.

Either way, it’s best to choose an experienced
physician, who has both non invasive (SculpSure, CoolSculpting, etc) and
minimally invasive options (such as laser liposuction) available for you. In
this way, you can be assured that the treatment recommendations will be
tailored to your specific needs.
