I can highly recommend Dr. Maria Wetzel, she is empathetic, friendly, very competent and very professional. It would be a mistake to go anywhere else. Thank you for everything!
After having consulted a total of 19 different specialists in Germany and the nearby Czech Republic and having experienced massive price differences (from 6000 euros to over 27,000 euros for the same tummy tuck operation), I decided on the team of doctors around Dr. Wetzel and Dr. Dozan from the Pantea practice after a very detailed and honest consultation. The positive overall impression continued. The post-operative care in particular, including the absolutely painless removal of the drainage, deserves special mention.
Now, after a total of 4 months post-operative tummy tuck, the wonderful result is becoming apparent. Another very open consultation and recommendation. Both Dr. Wetzel and Dr. Dozan operate very carefully and focus on healthy wound healing.
Especially on the abdomen with a scar of more than 30 cm should not be underestimated. Competitors who perform liposuction at the same time as a tummy tuck can take a leaf out of their book here. Step by step is definitely the better choice.
Around 4 months after the operation there is no discomfort, the scar heals inconspicuously and thanks to the recommendation for scar care it is also soft, without hardening scar tissue.
In short: A clear recommendation for Drs. Wetzel and Dozan! Tummy tucks are not so common, especially in men, but the correction of the mons pubis was far better than the preliminary consultation had suggested!!!

I had been thinking about a breast lift / breast augmentation for some time and therefore made an appointment with Dr. Wetzel for a consultation at the beginning of 2023.
Personally, it was important to me to go to a woman with this topic because I feel more comfortable personally.
Since I do not correspond to the ideal measurements of a woman but am a little curvier, I was worried that my concerns would not be taken seriously and that I might even be advised against it. But Dr. Wetzel immediately allayed my concerns and gave me the feeling that as a curvy woman I could have aesthetic procedures just as easily.
With her empathetic, honest and humane manner, she made me feel very comfortable from the very first minute and I felt understood and taken seriously right from the start. She is an incredibly competent, professional and at the same time very friendly doctor.
As I was too insecure in the first step, I only decided to have a breast lift in April 23.
Afterwards, however, my breasts had too little fullness and I had a breast augmentation with implants in December 23.
I also received excellent and competent advice on the size and manufacturer of the implants, with 2 to 3 sample photos that I brought with me of what I wanted my breasts to look like.
She took enough time at each appointment to explain everything to me clearly and in detail. And after 4 weeks I am now completely satisfied and happy with the result.
Everything went very well, from the information, to the planning of the operations, to the aftercare.
I have always found Dr. Wetzel to be very friendly, calm, emphatic and human. She radiates such calm that I felt very comfortable and in good hands with her. With Dr. Wetzel, everything just fits.
The entire practice team should not be forgotten here either. The team was always easy to reach or called back quickly. Everyone was always friendly and helpful, no matter what concerns I had.
I was looked after very lovingly and professionally both in the practice and in the Iatros Clinic.
I can really recommend Dr. Wetzel and the Pantea practice to anyone with a clear conscience.
I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Wetzel and the Pantea team!

I have had liposuction for lipoedema performed by Dr. Dozan so far and am really satisfied with everything.
The result is as I had hoped and the pre- and post-operative care is really great. I could and can ask all my questions.
I have 2 more liposuctions coming up and then finally an arm lift because my upper arms are now quite empty.
I can really only recommend the practice....😘😊❤️
But the clinic where the operation is performed is also totally pleasant - within the scope of the possibilities after such an operation. I still felt that I was in good hands here too...:-)

Experience report: Diagnosis and treatment of lipoedema at the Pantea Clinic Munich

I have been suffering from stage 2 lipoedema for 10 years. The discovery of this disease came about in an unexpected and enlightening way. Here is my story:
In my youth and during my pregnancies, I noticed that my body was changing, which is normal in itself. But my legs looked different from my friends' - they were stronger and had unusual stability. I didn't think anything of it at first, but over time the changes became more and more obvious.
The real problems started during the menopause. My legs changed dramatically, accompanied by severe pain that stretched from my ankles to my knees. By this time, my leg no longer had a natural shape. I tried everything to relieve the pain and find out what was wrong with my legs. I consulted various doctors and specialists, but no one could give me a clear diagnosis. In the evenings, I massaged my legs with a hedgehog ball in the hope that it would relieve the pain.
It wasn't until May of this year, when my daughter suggested I visit the Pantea Clinic in Munich on the recommendation of a colleague, that I found a ray of hope. I had no great expectations when I went to the clinic, but was rather hopeless.
At the clinic, I was looked after by Dr. Simone Hermanns, a young and empathetic doctor who spoke to me at eye level. She asked me numerous questions and carried out a thorough examination. Finally, she made the decisive diagnosis: I have stage 2 lipoedema. It was a shock for me, because at that time I had hardly any knowledge about this condition. However, Dr. Hermanns patiently explained everything I needed to know in detail.
The good news was that although lipoedema cannot be cured, there are ways to significantly improve quality of life. Specially made compression garments and pants can help you live pain-free. However, permanent improvement requires an operation to remove the diseased fatty tissue. Dr. Hermanns also explained to me how the diseased fat affects circulation and stability in the knees and joints. These explanations helped me to better understand the causes of my pain and discomfort.
I immediately decided to have the operation. At 59, I couldn't and didn't want to wait any longer. On June 22, the first operation was performed on the front of my legs. Seven liters of diseased fat were removed. I noticed a significant improvement soon after the operation. The pain on the front of my legs had disappeared.
On October 5, the second operation was performed on the back of my legs. The results were promising and I am sure they will be just as positive as the first operation. My mobility has already improved significantly and the pain is history. I no longer have to hide from others and no longer feel guilty about my legs.
I would like to thank Dr. Simone Hermanns from the bottom of my heart. Her expert advice, support and perfect operations have made a lasting improvement to my life. Although I was in a state of shock at the beginning, I was able to trust her and she guided me compassionately and expertly. I can move better, am no longer in pain and can finally go through life with confidence.

I wanted to thank Dr. Dozan from the bottom of my heart for the great consultation and preparation for the operation. There were really no questions left unanswered and nothing could surprise me as I was prepared and informed about everything. I felt that I was in really good hands with Dr. Dozan from the very first moment. Especially because of Dr. Dozan's caring, empathetic manner and his understanding of a woman and her problem. He does his best with professional skill. I had a lipedema operation and things are already looking very good after 14 days. I am so looking forward to the final result. Thank you very much...you are the best doctor in the world.
Initially skeptical due to possible pain....
which I was relieved of during the preliminary consultation and also during the treatment by the doctor Mrs. Ehrl.
I was given type and professional advice!
What can I say?
I will repeat the treatment at any time.
Looks really great and natural!
Absolutely recommendable!
Many thanks to Mrs. Ehrl! 🙂

I was operated on for the 3rd time by Dr. Lipp (liposuction/lipoedema).
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lipp and the Pantea practice.
You get an all-round feel-good package.
The whole practice team is friendly and always available to answer any questions.
My surgery results exceeded my expectations.
I already feel very comfortable in my body, I'm fitter, pain-free and the circumference has reduced dramatically.
I'm looking forward to my recovery year and I'm excited to see what else is possible with sport.
My quality of life has improved by 100%.
Dr. Lipp + team thank you very much for the great care and the fantastic result.

Last year in May I had my operation with Dr. Lipp and today I got the before and after pictures and what can I say, I had tears in my eyes.
The almost 3 hour drive there and back was always worth it to me, from the first consultation to the post-op care.
The new practice is also very classy and chic again, but you never have the feeling of being "looked down upon", as if you were in a "Schicki Micki clinic", but always a warm cooperation at eye level from all sides.♥️
(Also, of course, a big thank you to Dr. Hermanns and the team)

If you had a best friend who was a surgeon, who would do everything to free you from lipoedema, who would accompany you the whole way (emotionally, professionally and with advice) in an empathetic and motivating way and who would also conjure up beautiful legs and arms, then Dr. Hermanns would probably be exactly that friend.
In the summer of 2022 I went to the consultation for the first time because of my lipoedema. The holistic treatment approach and the initial examination/consultation with Dr. Hermanns convinced me that PANTEA would be the right practice for me.
In April 2023 I had the last of 3 liposuctions. Dr. Hermanns has always accompanied me fully on my journey before, during and after. With her emphatic, respectful and honest manner, she is the ideal doctor for me and I am incredibly grateful to her for everything.
Dr. Hermanns has operated with both Dr. Mirko Dozan (2x) and Dr. Lipp (1x) and I can't think of any better doctors/surgeons. Everyone is very empathetic and the surgical result is more than I would have expected 🙂

I became aware of Dr. Lipp through a recommendation from a friend. It was the best decision to have her and her colleagues operate on me. Dr. Lipp and Dr. Hermanns are incredibly empathetic, take their time and are always available to answer questions. They honestly share their opinions and give advice. I felt that I was in the best of hands at all times during my lipedema treatment. The operations have given me a new and pain-free life. A big compliment also goes to the great practice team. Here, too, I felt that I was in good hands from the very beginning and, above all, well looked after. Everyone is always available to answer questions - correspondence is quick and uncomplicated. I can more than recommend Dr. Lipp and Dr. Hermanns. Through their passion for their profession, they create beautiful aesthetic results, taking into account the removal of lipedema. An absolute recommendation from the bottom of my heart for this unique practice.
The practice is very centrally located with an underground parking garage. When you enter the practice you are greeted with a smile by the girls at reception, who are super friendly and very helpful. I was offered a coffee while I was waiting. After the treatment you feel super comfortable and fresh again. I would love to come back to such a great atmosphere and would like to thank the great staff and the excellent organization.
Many thanks to Dr Lipp and Ms Ehrl

From the diagnosis of lipoedema to 3 operations and aftercare, I received the best advice and care. I was operated on by Dr. Lipp and Dr. Hermanns. The doctors know what they are doing, are very professional, competent, empathetic and take time for you. I feel that I am in very good hands at the practice with a super committed, empathetic team. A big thank you to Dr. Lipp and her super team! I would choose this practice again at any time without reservation 🙂
Dr. Lipp is an incredibly competent and at the same time empathetic doctor - I feel extremely well looked after. The entire practice team is extremely friendly and courteous!
It is such a relief to finally be taken seriously as a lipoedema patient. After 2 operations, not only has my body and the associated pain changed, but my whole lifestyle has suddenly become healthier and more active. And I owe it all to Dr. Lipp and her entire team.

I have already had 2 operations with Dr. Lipp and her great team, with one more to go. I am very satisfied from the consultation to the current status. The care before and after the operation is simply outstanding, Dr. Lipp and her very friendly manner take away any fear and the result is already convincing. Many thanks also for the phone calls after the operation, they give you the feeling that you are not just a number. I would go the way with Dr. Lipp and her team again at any time, a 3rd operation is still pending, then it's done and I thank you for a hopefully new life
The doctors are very empathetic and take their time for the consultation. And the results of the operation are sensational. I've had no more pain since the operation and my metabolism is working again! A new attitude to life and a new quality of life!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lipp's practice. She works with a great team, all questions were answered at all times.
Dr. Lipp and Dr. Hermanns are my live savers, thanks to them I no longer have any pain and finally have slim legs. I was able to come to them with all my questions and always felt understood and seen. Simply great people with a big portion of professionalism, I am so happy because I can continue to work with them professionally. ❤️ A huge thank you for the new attitude to life ❤️

A very empathetic young doctor with lots of specialist knowledge. She simply makes you feel totally well looked after and understood. It is often very difficult to find a doctor with lipedema who knows about this disease.
Due to her research, she is very familiar with the conditions of this disease.
I have been operated on twice by Dr. Lipp so far. Her colleagues and the practice team are also very nice.
Dr. Hermanns has also been able to give me lots of helpful tips.
I am very happy to have gone down this path with Dr. Lipp. And I hope she can help many more patients to lead a pain-free life.
