Will the dead fat cell harm or overwork my 1 kidney? Is CoolSculpting safe for me?

Asked By:sassyjoan19 in Bremerton, WA

I'm 63 year old female about 220 lbs. I had 1 Kidney removed last year and my GFR is at 39. I do have some edema in my ankles and legs, other than that I'm in good health. I'm very uncomfortable with my belly size. It's very hard for me to reach my feet to put shoes on/ tie them, I feel like I'm 9 months pregnant all the time and nothing looks good on me. I had a consult with Sono bello for lyposuction but they use lanocane that is hard on kidney so they told me NO.
