I had SculpSure on my stomach area. I experienced diarrhea the next day
A patient asked 4 years ago The diarrhea was somewhat oily, could that be my body eliminating fat? Or something I ate after procedure?

Dr. Elham Jafari Staff answered 4 years ago Diarrhea following SculpSure
Hi and thank you for your question! The SculpSure laser targets and destroys the fat cells, and the release fat is collected by the lymphatic system and carried away and eventually redistributed in the body, removed via kidneys or sweating or burnt. It is highly unlikely for the fat to end up in the stool and presence of fat in stool is often and indicator of reduce absorption of dietary fat. Hence your diarrhea is most likely incidental and not related to SculpSure treatment. If in doubt, please do a follow up with you physician. I hope it helps and good luck!
