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?

Having had Vanquish on myself I can tell you that this goes away in about a week. Its actually a sign that enough energy was transmitted to the fat to cause early cell death resulting in these firm areas that we call fat necrosis. I would wait until it resolves before doing another treatment.
