It has been officially 5 week since my tummy tuck and breast lift. After losing 150lbs I knew I needed this done but never thought it would be possible. After meeting with Dr. Downs and his team my dreams started to seem like reality. Five weeks ago we completed 1 of my 2 suggested surgery’s. My recovery so far has been extremely easy with little to no pain. Dr. Downs has been just the best. He took his time and explained every part of my surgery and what I could expect. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up from surgery and find out he didn’t have to make the vertical incision down my stomach due to all the my weight loss, and lose skin. I’m so happy Dr. Downs is who I decided to go to for this surgery. Can’t wait for him to complete my project.
How Does the Emsculpt Neo Treatment Work?
What makes the Emsculpt Neo treatment so unique is its revolutionary ability to not only reduce stubborn fat but also help you build muscle at the same time.
The Emsculpt Neo treatment is ideal for our Mishawaka patients, both men and women, who wish to eliminate excess fat on their stomachs while toning and enhancing their abdominal muscles. It produces similar benefits for the arms, glutes, thighs, and “love handles.” Most surgical and non-surgical fat reduction procedures only work to eliminate fat. The Emsculpt Neo combines the powerful effects of fat loss while also building new muscle, resulting in the most optimal result for you.
Emsculpt Neo works by sending targeted electromagnetic pulses to the treatment area. These pulses contract the muscles—just like how they would if you were doing a high-intensity workout at the gym. This results in a build-up of lactic acid, which metabolizes glucose and breaks down your body’s fat cells. This also inspires the muscles to respond by remodeling the structural fibers of the muscle, increasing its mass, strength, and density.
The results: you may lose up to 30 percent body fat while gaining up to 25 percent muscle mass after four treatments. Our patients also may experience increases in positive mental health and wellness, as well as a renewed sense of confidence and happiness.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsculpt Neo?
Emsculpt Neo is a great option for individuals who are already maintaining a healthy lifestyle but are struggling with areas of stubborn fat or muscle definition that’s difficult to achieve through exercise alone. Candidates typically include:
- Men and women looking to tone specific body areas
- Those within a healthy weight range
- Individuals who prefer non-surgical body contouring solutions
- Patients looking for a quick and effective treatment with no downtime
It’s essential to schedule a consultation to determine if Emsculpt Neo is the right fit for your body contouring goals.


The Procedure Process
During your Emsculpt Neo treatment, you will lie down while the specialized applicator is applied to the targeted area. This device emits synchronized radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic pulses. Here’s how the process works:
- Preparation: The area is cleaned, and the applicator is secured in place.
- Treatment: Over 30 minutes, your muscles undergo thousands of contractions while fat cells are heated and destroyed.
- Completion: Once the session is over, you can immediately resume your regular activities.
The procedure is entirely non-invasive, painless, and requires no anesthesia or recovery period.

Recovery and Aftercare
Emsculpt Neo requires no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities right after your treatment. Some patients report mild soreness, similar to what you might feel after an intense workout. To maintain the best results:
- Stay hydrated
- Continue with a balanced diet
- Incorporate regular exercise into your routine
Your specialist will provide personalized aftercare instructions based on your specific treatment plan.
Results
Patients can expect to see noticeable changes in their body contours after a few sessions, with optimal results appearing after completing the full treatment series. Benefits include:
- Up to 30% fat reduction
- Up to 25% muscle increase
- Enhanced muscle tone and definition
- Improved confidence and well-being
Results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
Risks and Considerations
While Emsculpt Neo is FDA-approved and safe for most individuals, some considerations include:
- Temporary muscle soreness.
- Slight redness or warmth in the treated area.
- Not suitable for individuals with metal implants or certain medical conditions.
Your consultation will address any concerns to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you
