SculpSure/truSculpting and compromised lymph system: can lipo damage the lymph nodes?

GoldCoastGuy
I had smartlipo 8 ago on my lower abs. I’m worried the treatment may have accidentally removed or destroyed the lymph nodes in the area. Not thinking, I recently did a treatment similar to SculpSure on the same area to remove the remaining fat, however those treatments require the lymph system to remove the destroyed fat cells. 1. Can lipo damage the lymph nodes? 2. How will the body remove the fat cells recently destroyed by the SculpSure if the lymph system is compromised? Please help!
