Had a kidney transplant in 2005. They placed the new one lower right abdomen. Can CoolSculpting be done on my stomach area?

Thanks for your question. I would not recommend coolsculpting over the surgical site of your transplanted kidney. There are many other options for fat loss that could be considered and with an experienced practitioner they could work around your previous medical history. Always seek a qualified and experienced physician when considering treatments in the futur

Thank you for your question.  Based on your history, I would definitely go to a plastic surgeon's practice and be evaluated by the surgeon.  He/she should be able to assess your area of concern and discuss your options with you.  We have several options including Coolsculpting in our practice that can help address reducing subcutaneous fat or tightening the skin.  If Coolsculpting is not the right choice for you, then there are other options.

Thanks for your question.  CoolSculpting creates a significant suction over the area treated.  It cannot be performed over areas where there are hernias or abdominal wall weaknesses.  Depending upon the location of your area of concern in relationship to your transplanted kidney, it might be possible.  This is a question that would need to be answered by a well qualified surgeon familiar with your situation and one that has a good understanding of your goals.  Other means of fat removal might be optional if CoolSculpting is not an appropriate choice.  Please seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
