Reasons for liposuction in Stuttgart
Liposuction in Stuttgart can be considered for a variety of reasons. Many people opt for this procedure to remove stubborn fat deposits that persist despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Liposuction can be used to shape specific areas of the body and create a harmonious overall appearance. Liposuction can also be used to remove a double chin, for example.
In the case of lipoedema, a condition characterized by uneven fat distribution that often causes pain and restricted mobility, liposuction can significantly help to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
In which areas of the body is liposuction possible?
Liposuction can generally be performed in all areas where stubborn fat deposits simply won't go away. During liposuction in Stuttgart, we particularly often focus on the thighs (inner, outer, front, knees), lower legs (calves & ankles), hips and waist, stomach and bottom. Liposuction is also possible on the back, chest, chin and upper arms.
If several regions are to be treated, several procedures may be necessary so that the operation is not too stressful for you. Before liposuction in Stuttgart, Dr. Schumacher will discuss with you personally which procedure makes sense in your case.
Which method of liposuction is used in Stuttgart?
For liposuction in Stuttgart, Dr. Schumacher uses the so-called tumescent technique, a particularly proven treatment method. This surgical technique is characterized by its high level of safety and precision. In the tumescent technique, a special liquid, the so-called tumescent solution, is injected into the fatty tissue. This solution loosens the fatty tissue so that it can be gently suctioned out via cannulas. This can significantly reduce the risk of damage to lymphatic vessels. The cannulas are inserted into the fatty tissue through small incisions of 3-4 millimetres. The tumescent technique not only enables targeted removal of fat deposits, but also promotes even contouring of the treated areas. We attach great importance to individually tailored treatment plans in order to achieve the best possible result for each patient.
How much fat can be removed during liposuction?
The amount of fat that can be safely removed in a single session during liposuction in Stuttgart is usually limited to around 5 liters. If it is necessary to reduce more than this amount, it is advisable to spread the treatment over several sessions, which take place at intervals of three to four months. It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss method, but is used to remove stubborn fat deposits and improve body contours.
How is liposuction performed in Stuttgart?
If you are considering liposuction, we will first invite you to a no-obligation consultation at our practice in Stuttgart. Dr. Schumacher will inform you in detail about liposuction in Stuttgart, the costs, risks and possible side effects. It is particularly important to him to find out what results you expect from liposuction.
Liposuction is not suitable for weight loss, so you should have largely reached your comfortable weight at the time of the operation. Dr. Schumacher will work with you to decide when the time is right for liposuction in Stuttgart and will then plan the liposuction for you individually.
Depending on the extent of the treatment, liposuction in Stuttgart is performed under local or general anesthesia. Minor procedures can be carried out on an outpatient basis so that you can return home on the same day. In any case, you should plan to take several days off after liposuction.
In the first step of the operation, the excess fatty tissue is loosened. To do this, Dr. Schumacher injects a so-called tumescent solution into the fatty tissue. The fat cells are loosened in this way and can then be suctioned out using special cannulas.
Following liposuction, you will be fitted with a special compression garment that exerts even pressure on the treatment areas. Light activities can be resumed a few days after liposuction in Stuttgart. However, intensive exercise and sport should be avoided for several weeks. We carry out regular check-ups in our practice and are always available for you if you have any problems.
What should I bear in mind after liposuction?
We recommend that you take a few days off work after your liposuction in Stuttgart. You should take it easy physically and avoid sauna, solarium and sunbathing. You will be fitted with a special compression garment, which you should wear around the clock if possible.
Are there any risks associated with liposuction?
There are risks with every operation - this naturally also applies to liposuction. Possible complications of liposuction include infections, post-operative bleeding, wound healing disorders or unsatisfactory results. The risk of such complications can be significantly reduced by consulting an experienced surgeon and following the instructions for aftercare carefully.
Immediately after liposuction in Stuttgart, swelling, slight wound pain, occasional bruising or even sensory disturbances may occur. Such symptoms usually subside after a short time. Before liposuction in Stuttgart, we will inform you in detail about possible side effects so that you know exactly what to expect after the operation. We will prescribe a painkiller to relieve any initial pain.
How much does liposuction cost in Stuttgart?
The cost of liposuction in Stuttgart can vary from patient to patient and depends on several factors. These include the patient's individual wishes and physical conditions as well as the extent of the liposuction. Prices can vary depending on how many areas are to be treated and how much effort is involved. After a personal consultation at our practice in Stuttgart, we can give you a more precise estimate of the costs, tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Are the costs of liposuction covered by health insurance?
In most cases, the costs of liposuction are not covered by health insurance, as it is usually a cosmetic procedure that is not performed for medical reasons. However, there are special cases in which liposuction is necessary for health reasons, such as in the case of lipoedema, a persistent fat distribution disorder. In this case, the health insurance company may cover the costs if there is a medical recommendation and other treatment methods have not been effective.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions about liposuction in Stuttgart

We achieve lasting results with liposuction in Stuttgart. The excess fat cells are surgically removed and no longer grow back.

It is therefore advisable to only undergo surgery when you have already reached your desired weight.
