Body Treatments in Berlin

Abdominoplasty

The only way to visually improve sagging abdominal skin is through a surgical procedure, a so-called abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), which restores the abdominal wall to the desired shape. With this treatment, affected individuals not only regain their original body shape but also a new sense of self-worth and quality of life.

In the Berlin specialist practice Dottore Caletti for plastic-aesthetic surgery, abdominoplasties are performed using various surgical methods. It must be noted that an abdominoplasty is by no means intended for weight reduction.

Procedure of the body treatment in Berlin

During a tummy tuck, sagging skin in the abdominal area is removed. It can also be used to tighten the rectus abdominis muscles and the abdominal wall, and thus the waist.

The result of an abdominoplasty is a flat, firm abdomen and, if applicable, a slimmer, sculpted waist. For this, excess skin and sagging tissue are removed. The focus of the treatment is on the lower abdomen (lower tummy tuck, mini abdominoplasty) or on the upper and lower abdomen (classic tummy tuck). The goal of such a tummy tuck is for you to regain your original body shape.

First positive changes can be seen immediately after the procedure. However, to see the final result, you must wait four to six months and for the complete conclusion of the wound healing process. In general, the result of an abdominoplasty also depends on the individual condition of the skin and the texture of the subcutaneous tissue and muscles. A healthy lifestyle, however, allows the result of a tummy tuck to last a lifetime.

Medical facts

Abdominoplasties are performed under general anesthesia and require a one-day hospital stay. The procedure itself takes about 3 hours. Depending on your profession and the degree of physical exertion, you can return to work after ten days to two weeks or three to four weeks. The wound healing for this body treatment takes approximately two weeks. Additionally, wearing a compression garment for six weeks is necessary.

Depending on the extent of the tummy tuck and the surgical method, you can expect costs from 7,000 Euros.

Possible risks of the body treatment

Our operations are performed by a surgeon with proven experience, so complications are rare with an abdominoplasty. However, as with any surgical procedure, risks cannot be ruled out.

These include, for example,

• wound healing disorders
• infections
• medication intolerances or allergies.

To minimize risks, we recommend discontinuing pain medication, blood-thinning preparations, and sleeping pills at least one week before the procedure. Additionally, during this time, it is essential to refrain from consuming nicotine and alcohol.

Liposuction in Berlin

Body treatments such as tummy tucks are often combined with liposuction. Liposuction permanently removes unwanted fat deposits in selected body areas. As a result, many feel more attractive, physically younger, and consequently gain a new quality of life after the procedure.

Specifically, liposuction is a method in which fat cells are surgically removed from desired body areas. For this purpose, the subcutaneous fat tissue is selectively loosened and suctioned off with fine cannulas, thereby reducing fat tissue and fat deposits.

Liposuction on the Abdomen

A slim, firm abdomen corresponds to the ideal aesthetic image of many people. However, abdominal fat is particularly stubborn and often cannot be simply trained away. The development of this fat is caused by a variety of factors, such as lack of exercise, hormonal or genetic factors. Often, a body treatment as part of liposuction is the only way to permanently eliminate unwanted curves on the abdomen.

During abdominal liposuction, fat tissue is generally suctioned from the upper or lower abdomen. Depending on the findings, fat can also be removed from the hips or back.

Medical Facts of the Body Treatment

This body treatment in Berlin usually takes one and a half to two hours, depending on the findings. For this, local anesthesia or general anesthesia (if several regions are suctioned simultaneously) is chosen. The stay in the clinic amounts to an outpatient stay or a 24-hour inpatient stay.

Depending on your profession, you will be able to work again after two to three days for non-physical work and after seven to fourteen days for physical work. You can fully resume your sports routine after a minimum of four weeks. For aftercare, it is necessary to wear compression garments for about four weeks.

Depending on the findings and extent of the liposuction, you should expect costs starting from 2,500 Euros.

Possible Risks

Liposuction is generally considered a low-risk operation. Possible risks include bruising, bleeding, wound healing disorders, or medication intolerances. Rare complications of liposuction include thrombosis, embolism, or circulatory failure.

Further Liposuctions: Our Body Treatments in Berlin

Liposuction can generally be performed not only on the abdomen but also on the arms, legs, and neck. Often, the shape in these areas cannot always be completely controlled, so neither targeted training nor strict diets lead to the desired result. Here, too, a body treatment as part of liposuction can provide a remedy and help patients achieve a new sense of well-being.
