I have a VP shunt for hydrocephalus. Would it be safe for me to have a fat freezing (cryolipolysis) session on my stomach? The clinic has said it's safe but I would like to make sure. They said it only affects the fat layer and that the shunt is behind the abdominal wall. Does freezing the fat affect a shunt which may be underneath it?
