Question

Can you have Smartlipo done if you have a fatty liver and 1 kidney?

Dear Intruder800,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations

You would need to discuss this with your medical doctor to see if you are a candidate for any elective surgery.

Liver disease is a spectrum and most people who are at the stage of having mild to moderate fatty liver still have completely normal liver function.  this is also true for those with one kidney. As long as you’re one kidney is functioning normally with normal kidney functions on blood and urine tests this should not prevent you from having elective cosmetic surgery.  plastic surgeons may ask for medical clearance so you may want to discuss this with your primary care doctor first since his or her input may be requested.

There may be other variables to take into consideration and depending on the function of your organs the answer may be different.

Best,

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Depending upon the severity of your fatty liver, you may be a candidate for SMART lipo. One can usually live a normal life with one kidney. I would recommend that you discuss this issue with your primary care physician , undergo complete evaluation and examination and request clearance to proceed if applicable. 
Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.
Best wishes...
