Surgical body treatments

  • With the help of breast augmentation, we can change the size and shape of the breasts with implants or an autologous fat transplant.

    Modern implants are made of multi-layer silicone and are inserted into the breast to increase the volume/projection. Augmentation using autologous fat can also shape and enlarge the breast.

Cosmetic genital surgery (f/m)

  • Intimate surgery includes various surgical procedures in the intimate area that can be aimed at aesthetic or functional improvements. In female genital surgery, this can include vaginoplasty to tighten the vaginal muscles, labiaplasty, reduction of the clitoral hood and much more. For male genital surgery, a penis enlargement with fat transfer can be performed to increase self-confidence and comfort in the genital area.

Abdominoplasty

  • Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fatty tissue in the abdominal area. This procedure is usually requested by many patients after weight loss or pregnancy(s) in order to remove unwanted excess skin, particularly in the lower abdomen. After pregnancy, the abdominal muscles are usually also tightened to create a flat stomach and slim waist. The incision is usually invisible in the panty area and varies in length depending on the extent of the findings.

Breast lift

  • A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, corrects the skin covering of the breast and lifts the mammary gland tissue so that the breast can be returned to its original shape. Weight loss, pregnancy or ageing very often lead to changes in breast shape and size, so it can be useful to combine a breast lift with an implant (augmentation mastopexy) and/or autologous fat in order to achieve an increase in size. In the case of a very extensive mammary gland and large, heavy breasts, a breast lift is usually performed with a reduction of the mammary gland tissue and the skin mantle (mammoplasty). The respective incision is individual and will be explained during a detailed consultation.

  • Liposuction is a procedure to remove excess fatty tissue from certain areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips, thighs or upper arms. The aim is to improve the shape of the body and achieve more harmonious proportions. With the help of additional measures (Bodytite or Endolift), we can achieve further contouring and firming of the skin using radio frequency or laser radiation.

    Bodytite is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to both reduce fatty tissue and tighten the skin. By heating the tissue, fat cells can be melted and collagen fibers tightened at the same time. This can lead to an improvement in body contour and skin texture without the need for major incisions.

Further
Treatments:

  • The treatment of stretch marks and sagging skin with Morpheus 8 involves the application of radiofrequency energy that penetrates the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Through this non-invasive method, Morpheus 8 improves skin texture and firmness, reducing stretch marks and achieving overall revitalized skin.

  • Profhilo Body is a non-surgical method of skin hydration in which highly concentrated hyaluronic acid gel is injected into the body to revitalize and tighten the skin from the inside out. This minimally invasive treatment promotes natural collagen production and improves skin elasticity, resulting in a visible improvement in skin texture.

  • Sculptra® is a non-surgical method of skin tightening and body sculpting that involves injecting poly-L-lactide microparticles under the skin to stimulate collagen production for a natural tightening effect. This minimally invasive treatment offers long-lasting results by supporting and rejuvenating the skin from the inside out.

  • The tightening of the legs through liposuction and BodyTite is an aesthetic procedure that reduces excess fatty tissue while tightening the skin to achieve a defined and contoured silhouette. This technique enables targeted shaping, allowing patients to achieve an improved leg shape and a toned appearance.
