Body treatments & your contours

A caesarean section can leave an indented scar, overhanging skin or changes in the abdominal wall. Together, we look closely at what is on your mind. Not every concern requires a full tummy tuck; sometimes the focus is the scar itself, or allowing more time for natural recovery first.

Perhaps your breasts feel softer, or their shape or size has changed. You may feel comfortable with this, have questions or wish for a change. This article helps you take your time to consider the next steps.

More volume, a different shape, relief from heavy breasts or questions about existing implants: breast treatment begins with your personal concerns. I explore the options with you and explain what changes each procedure can achieve.

A protruding abdomen may be shaped by fat beneath the skin, the abdominal wall or fat within the abdomen. First, I want to understand with you what determines your contour. We can then discuss whether liposuction could help, whether a tummy tuck would be more appropriate or whether another approach would suit you better.

If you would like a more defined neck and chin contour, I assess fat distribution, skin elasticity and chin shape together. A double chin can have different causes. I explain what liposuction can change and when another treatment is better suited to the findings.

If you would like to change the contour of your upper arms, I first look at fat distribution, skin elasticity and the transitions to the shoulder and elbow. Liposuction can reduce a localised deposit. Whether the skin will adapt sufficiently or an upper arm lift would be more appropriate is part of our consultation from the outset.

Whether the concern is the outer thighs, inner thighs or knees, I consider these areas together to achieve a balanced leg contour. Skin quality, a tendency to swell and any symptoms are equally important. We discuss whether limited liposuction suits your examination findings and how recovery can fit into your everyday life.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the breasts and abdomen. Whether you would like treatment for any of these changes is a personal decision. I take time to listen to your wishes and discuss which individual steps are appropriate, when they would suit you and whether it would be better to spread them over several appointments.

Excessive sweating of the hands or feet can affect work, physical contact and everyday life. I first ask how it has developed, what treatments you have tried and what your job requires. Only then do we discuss whether botulinum toxin is appropriate for your situation.

A tummy tuck removes excess skin and reshapes the abdomen after significant stretching, for example following pregnancy or substantial weight loss. Diastasis recti can also be taken into account where needed. I examine the skin, fatty tissue and abdominal wall separately so that the extent of surgery, scars and recovery are clearly matched to your findings.

Liposuction can reduce localised fat deposits and change body proportions. It is intended for contouring and does not replace weight loss. Together, we assess which area can appropriately be treated and how well your skin can adapt to the changed shape.

An enlarged male breast can be caused by glandular tissue, fat or both. I take your questions seriously and first establish the cause. Only then do we discuss whether gynaecomastia surgery is appropriate and how it can fit your chest shape and everyday life.

Excessive sweating can affect clothing, handshakes and situations at work. Botulinum toxin can temporarily reduce sweat production in selected areas. I first discuss the cause, previous treatments and your personal goal with you. Particularly when sweating is new or occurs at night, medical investigation matters more than a quick injection.

A scar may be visible, feel tight or restrict movement. I look at how it formed, how far healing has progressed and what troubles you in everyday life. This helps determine whether scar care, targeted treatment or surgical scar revision is appropriate.

An upper arm lift removes excess skin and reshapes the underlying tissue. It may be an option after weight loss or when skin elasticity declines. In Berlin, I discuss with you what improvement in contour is possible and what scar you would need to accept in return.

A thigh lift can reduce excess skin on the inner legs and change their contour. The wish for treatment often arises after significant weight loss. In Berlin, I discuss with you what change is achievable and how scars, swelling and everyday life need to be considered together.

If there is a limited degree of tissue laxity, whether after liposuction or independently of it, Renuvion may be an option as an additional procedure. I assess how much excess skin is present and what treatment beneath the skin can contribute. It cannot simply resolve or remove larger amounts of excess skin.

Chafing during sport, discomfort in tight clothing or a wish for change in the intimate area deserve an unhurried conversation. The shape and size of the labia vary greatly; visible inner labia are not automatically a medical problem. I discuss your symptoms with you and assess whether surgery could offer a meaningful benefit.

Heavy sweating can affect clothing, work and social interactions. Before treating sweat glands, I assess the affected area and possible causes. Suction treatment in the armpits, botulinum toxin treatment and procedures for the hands or feet are different approaches, each with its own limitations.
