I have metal pins along side of my femur bone. Is it safe for me to have Emsculpt?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I had a broken femur bone and the surgeon put a rod and pins along side of my femur bone. The rod was removed in 1972 but the pins remain. Is it safe for me to have EMSCULPT on my butt and stomach?I have heard that it is safe to have EMSCULPT if you have metal in your body as long as the machine is not placed over the area where the metal is. Should I have an x-ray first to see exactly where the metal pins are? I’m hoping to find a Doctor in New York, NY that performs EMSCULPT. Thank you for your answers.
A.If the pins in your femur are truly metal then you should not have Emsculpt. If they are titanium then and your orthopedic surgeon has said that it is okay for you to have MRI’s then you should be able to have Emsculpt. Be sure to discuss with your physician at your consultation. Good luck and be well.
