I have had had 2 knee replacements with titanium. Can I still receive the vanquish treatment ?

Vanquish in contraindicated with abdominal metal devices or cardiac implants. metal in more distant locations should be safe. you can check with BTL Vanquish  company online or by phone

@3snowwhite9 Thank you, that is a very valid question. The answer is NO. Metal implants of any kind are contraindicated for this type of treatment, because of the risk for damage to underlying muscles and tissue. The subcutaneous fat tissue is heated to 120 degrees, so anything metal in your skin would also be a risk for this. This goes for pace-makers as well. Thanks again for your question, I hope this helps. Best of luck.#vanquish   #metalimplants #contraindications

It is probably safe, but I would first check with your orthopedic surgeon, especially if you intend to use it near you knees. Remember, however, results from RF fat reduction are extremely variable, and many times NOT  impressive! I have had numerous patients come to me for traditional liposuction, after failing RF treatments, like Vanquish. Unless you desire a very small reduction of fat in a very well defined region, traditional liposuction is much more reliable. Also claims of "skin reduction or shrinkage" after RF treatment are anecdotal at best, and have never been confirmed by solid scientific research. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
