Can people with one kidney safely have the Vanquish fat removal procedure?

April 23, 2014
Asked By:beach321

My right kidney was surgically removed in 2009. Today I am in excellent health except for a stubborn belly bulge I can't get rid of through diet and exercise. Is the Vanquish fat removal procedure considered safe for someone with one healthy kidney? If the dead fat cells are passed through the kidney, might this put a strain on the remaining organ? Also, I believe my surgeon used tiny metal clamps to tie tubes and vessels when he removed my kidney. Could these cause a problem for Vanquish?
