Q
quanchiJul 6, 2019

Can I use EMSculpt on my stomach if I had my gallbladder taken out and they used small metal staples to close off the duct/artery? They are located internally on my right side just under my rib cage...where my gall bladder used to be. What is the acceptable distance from a metal object?
