I'm on my life saving drugs for 22 years like prednisone and cellcept. Did my kidney transplant when I was 16 and now I'm 38. Would like to do fat freezing for my arms, love handles and belly. Will it be a problem?

No, Coolsculpting will only help to reduce fat cell and should only be treated while one is not pregnant. You will have fewer fat cells weather you get pregnant or not after any Coolsculpting procedure.
