There is no medical concern with coolsculpting and stage 3 kidney disease. Coolsculpting will not put any extra work load on the kidneys.
If you're cleared by your Doctor, you can have Coolsculpting. Keep in mind, for best results with Coolsculpting, a combination approach is needed and some people need more than one treatment. I recommend adding radiofrequency treatments like Vanquish for skin tightening and with Z wave/Cellutone for skin smoothing. However, Vaser with ThermiRF procedure is the best combination for a toned result, but requires more downtime. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
It is always best to consult your doctor before doing any treatments that you think may have an affect on your body or your disease. Currently, CoolSculpting does not say that kidney disease is a contraindication for the treatment, but please consult your doctor first.
Thank you for your question. Renal failure is not an absolute contraindication to CoolSculpting. Some patients with kidney disease may have other comorbidities. I recommend consulting with a CoolSculpting certified practice and see if you are a good candidate to CoolSculpting. All the best, Dr.Michon

It is not likely to adversely affect your treatment outcome from Coolsculpting. But smoking could certainly affect your exercise regimen, which is an important part of the equation when it comes to keeping your weight off.
Thank you for your question. Based on your history, I would definitely go to a plastic surgeon's practice and be evaluated by the surgeon. He/she should be able to assess your area of concern and discuss your options with you. We have several options including Coolsculpting in our pra...
Hi. Your photo indicates that a tuck will provide you maximum shaping by addressing excess skin and likely abdominal wall/muscle looseness (which coolsculpting doesn't) as well as excess fat under the skin. The biggest cons of surgery include anesthesia, downtime/time off work, scars, etc. a...
To answer your question - it is incredibly unlikely that you will develop this condition following Coolsculpting. If you look into the history of this following Coolscuplting, you will see that the statistical likelihood of this happening is less than 1%.
