What is body contouring?
Body contouring is a method that combines various aesthetic techniques to sculpt the shape of the body. In particular, liposuction and autologous fat treatment are used. Liposuction specifically removes fatty tissue from problem areas such as the stomach, hips or thighs. After special treatment, the removed fat can be used in other areas of the body, such as the breasts or buttocks, to increase volume and harmonize proportions. This combination makes it possible to sustainably improve the body shape and both reduce fat deposits and create a natural increase in volume in the desired areas. This leads to a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. The body contouring methods in Stuttgart are gentle and are carried out to the highest medical standards. Dr. Schumacher pays attention to scar-sparing techniques and chooses precise, inconspicuous incisions to avoid visible scars.
What are the reasons for body contouring in Stuttgart?
The reasons for body contouring in Stuttgart are varied and individual. Frequent motivations are:
- to have fat deposits removed that cannot be reduced by exercise and dieting,
- tighten sagging skin after pregnancy or severe weight loss,
- harmonize the proportions of the body and create an aesthetic silhouette,
- specific problem areas such as the stomach, hips, bottom or upper arms.
Who is body contouring in Stuttgart suitable for?
Body contouring in Stuttgart is particularly suitable for people who are satisfied with their general body shape but want to treat specific problem areas.
If you have already reached your desired weight but suffer from stubborn fat deposits or sagging skin despite exercise and a healthy diet, body contouring in Stuttgart may be the right treatment for you. Especially after major weight fluctuations or pregnancy (mommy makeover), this treatment offers an effective solution to tighten the body silhouette again.
Body contouring in Stuttgart is not suitable for people who are primarily looking to lose weight, but rather for those who want to improve their proportions.
Do scars remain after body contouring in Stuttgart?
Small scars may remain after body contouring in Stuttgart, particularly in the areas where liposuction was performed. However, the incisions are usually very small (approx. 5 mm) and are made in inconspicuous areas, such as the bikini line. Dr. Schumacher places particular emphasis on scar-sparing surgical techniques so that the scars are barely visible later on. With correct aftercare and by following the care tips, the scars usually heal very well.
How does body contouring in Stuttgart work?
Before any body contouring in Stuttgart, a detailed consultation takes place at Dr. Lars Schumacher's practice. During this consultation, the patient is given comprehensive information about the procedure, the options and the course of treatment. The patient's individual wishes and goals are discussed in detail. On this basis, Dr. Schumacher creates a tailor-made treatment plan.
Patients should take certain precautions when preparing for surgery, such as avoiding blood-thinning medication or nicotine.
Body contouring in Stuttgart is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. First, excess fat is removed by liposuction. Dr. Schumacher uses special cannulas to gently suction out the fatty tissue. In the next step, if desired, the removed fat is processed and injected into other areas of the body, such as the buttocks or breasts, to build up volume. This combination of fat reduction and volume build-up creates a balanced and natural body silhouette.
After body contouring, patients receive precise aftercare instructions to support the healing process. Compression garments should be worn for several weeks. Slight swelling, bruising and a feeling of tightness are normal in the first few days after the procedure. Dr. Schumacher attaches great importance to continuous aftercare to ensure that the best possible result is achieved and complications are avoided.
What are the risks of body contouring?
As with any surgical procedure, there are also risks associated with body contouring. These include secondary bleeding, infections and wound healing disorders. However, thanks to Dr. Schumacher's many years of experience and expertise in plastic and aesthetic surgery, complications are rare. Only slight swelling and bruising usually occur after body contouring, but these subside on their own after a few days.
