Mommy Makeover
at PANTEA® in Munich
Becoming a mother is a special and impressive experience for every woman and the start of a new and exciting phase of life. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave visible marks on a woman's body that cannot be reversed with exercise and diet. The effects of weight fluctuations and the size of the child can lead to permanent damage to the abdominal wall, muscles and skin. Examples of this can be sagging breasts or excess skin on the abdomen. This can lead to women no longer feeling comfortable in their bodies after having a baby. However, many women also attach great importance to a harmonious body image as a mother and want their body back without the visible signs of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
As every body and every woman is unique, we offer customized treatments that are tailored to your needs and goals. To achieve this, a "Mommy Makeover " can combine various plastic and aesthetic procedures to bring you closer to your former body.
Mommy makeover at PANTEA® in Munich
What is a mommy makeover?
The term "mommy makeover" refers to a combination of at least 2 plastic aesthetic procedures in 1 operation, which aim to reduce the negative changes to the body after pregnancy and childbirth and/or after severe weight loss and to aesthetically contour the body shape. You do not necessarily have to be a mother to undergo a combination surgery to undergo a combination procedure. The mommy makeover is synonymous with the performance of several combination procedures in one operation and is particularly popular with mothers who have completed their desire to have children. The optimal combination of these procedures depends on the individual needs and goals of each patient.
Which needs-specific interventions can be combined?
- Breast surgery - breast lift / breast reduction / breast augmentation with implants or breast augmentation with autologous fat: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts often become significantly larger. After breastfeeding, the breasts can lose volume and sag, which is a burden for many women.
- Surgical skin tightening - tummy tuck / thigh lift / upper arm lift + liposuction (liposuction): Pregnancy often results in significant weight fluctuations. The skin on the abdomen and possibly on the thighs and upper arms is stretched considerably. After childbirth, the skin can become saggy and excess skin that does not fully regress can be perceived as disturbing. A combination of liposuction and surgical skin tightening (also in combination with plasma or laser) can help to slim down the female body and tighten the skin.
- Intimate surgery - labia reduction/correction; mons pubis correction: Childbirth often changes the female intimate area. The labia minora often become larger, which leads to unpleasant side effects for many women. Labia reduction/correction and mons veneris correction can eliminate these side effects.
- Scar correction (e.g. after a caesarean section)
Why can a mommy makeover improve your quality of life?
Pregnancy and childbirth cause considerable changes to the female body in various areas. Our experience shows that many mothers only feel attractive again after a mommy makeover. By combining two or more procedures, such as breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, the quality of life can be significantly improved.
What should I bear in mind during a mommy makeover?
Natural weight fluctuations and repeat pregnancies can negatively affect the results of a Mommy Makeover. It is therefore important that you have reached your desired weight before the operation and have completed your family planning as far as possible. You should have been weaning for six months. Not all patients' wishes can always be fully realized in 1 operation, as every surgical procedure places a strain on the body.
Why should I choose the PANTEA® private practice?
We advise and treat you "from woman to woman" . Some of our experienced and highly qualified specialists are also mothers. We therefore understand your personal concerns and individual wishes. We advise and treat our patients as equals and would like to work with you on the path to greater self-satisfaction and physical well-being.

The PANTEA® mommy makeover process
Medical treatment comprises several steps: from diagnosis through to completion of treatment.
1.
The first step is a detailed consultation. During this session, your individual needs are assessed and a customized treatment plan is drawn up. The doctors at PANTEA® take enough time for you and clarify all your questions. Photo documentation and a physical examination are also carried out.
2.
Together with our patients, we decide on the most suitable surgical methods for each individual case. We take a holistic approach at PANTEA® and are therefore not only there for you before and during the operation, but are of course also at your side after the operation.
3.
The day before the operation, you should drink enough fluids and get enough sleep so that you are in good health and well rested for the operation.
4.
On the day of the operation, you should arrive at the clinic on an empty stomach, i.e. you should not eat anything at least 6 hours before the operation and not drink anything at least 2 hours before the operation.
5.
We recommend that you take approx. 2 weeks off after a combination of skin tightening and breast surgery. Aftercare includes wearing a compression bra and a compression bodice for at least 6 weeks. After 6 to 8 weeks, you may resume light sports activities.
6.
Follow-up appointments are made in consultation with the surgeon depending on the healing process. In addition, follow-up appointments can of course be arranged at any time in the event of uncertainties or questions after the operation.

Before the mommy makeover
Blood-thinning medication (e.g. aspirin or similar) should not be taken for at least 14 days before the operation.
If you are a smoker, please stop smoking approximately 3 weeks before the operation.
Please refrain from consuming alcohol at least 1 week before the operation if you drink alcohol.
Please shave the entire intimate region thoroughly the evening before the operation if the operation involves intimate surgery.
Please also make sure you drink enough fluids in the days before the procedure
After the mommy makeover
If you are a smoker, please refrain from smoking for at least 3 weeks after the operation.
After the treatment, use wound ointments and gentle, non-irritating skin care products recommended by the practitioner. These can soothe the skin and support the healing process.
It is necessary and recommended to wear compression garments or an abdominal belt day and night for approx. 6 weeks.
Avoid sport, sauna visits and excessive heat exposure for approx. 6-8 weeks after the operation to minimize swelling and reddening of the skin. You can then resume light sport.
A healthy diet, supported by specific nutritional supplements and regular exercise, are crucial for the long-term success of the therapy.

Questions about the mommy makeover
A Mommy Makeover is suitable for women who have experienced changes to their breasts, abdomen and other areas of the body following pregnancy or weight loss. This surgical combination treatment can include breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction as well as intimate surgery to improve the aesthetic appearance.
We focus on your personal motivation. We want to understand exactly what you find disturbing about your body and what your expectations of the procedure are. This is the only way we can give you detailed and honest advice. The satisfaction of our patients is our top priority.
The combination of procedures in a Mommy Makeover is individually tailored to the patient's needs. Common combinations include a breast lift or breast augmentation in conjunction with a tummy tuck. This allows for the simultaneous correction of changes to the breasts and abdominal region that often occur after pregnancy or weight loss. Liposuction can also be integrated to achieve additional contouring.
A mommy makeover can help improve the aesthetic appearance of breasts, abdomen and other areas of the body. The treatment can boost self-confidence and improve quality of life and wellbeing by reducing the effects of pregnancy or weight fluctuations and returning you to your former body.
By combining different procedures in one operation, patients have the advantage that they are not exposed to the risks of anesthesia several times and only have to go through one healing phase instead of several. In everyday family life in particular, but also at work, it is important to be fit and resilient again as quickly as possible and to have as little downtime as possible. For this reason, combined procedures are very popular.
A mommy makeover can take between 2 and 5 hours depending on the number and extent of the procedures and is performed under general anesthesia. Afterthe procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery ward. You will then be taken to your room, where you will be the guest of our Premium Occupancy Clinic for one or two nights and, if necessary, will have a doctor available around the clock (day and night ). You can then be collected by an accompanying person and return home.
You are allowed to shower the day after the operation. Please use gentle cleansing agents. For aftercare, we recommend a wound ointment and the use of gentle skin care products.
You will not feel any painduring the treatment due to the general anesthetic. Immediately after the operation, you may experience soreness, pain at rest and pressure with a feeling of tension. Afterwards, you may experience temporary mild to moderate pain, which can usually be treated very well with over-the-counter painkillers. We will of course advise you on this. Risks may vary depending on the extent of the operation and may include bleeding, hematomas and swelling. The swelling will have subsided after approx. 6-8 weeks.
The wound is checked by the attending specialist approx. 1 week after the operation. No sutures are required as absorbable suture material is used. Wound healing is usually complete approx. 6 weeks after the operation.
We recommend wearing a compression garment for up to 6 weeks (day and night). Most of our patients are usually socially acceptable again after 2 weeks. To promote healing, we recommend regular lymphatic drainage for 4 weeks after the procedure.
Sport is possible again after approx. 6-8 weeks.
You will see the first results immediately after the operation. The most visible results are seen within 3 weeks of the operation. The final result is achieved approx. 3 months after the outpatient operation.
The Mommy Makeover can provide a long-term sustainable measure to improve your quality of life if you pay attention to a healthy and balanced diet and exercise regularly after the Mommy Makeover.
Like any surgical procedure, a mommy makeover carries certain risks, including infection, bleeding and allergic reactions to the (local) anesthesia. In addition, unpredictable scarring, asymmetries or a loss of sensation can occur in rare cases. Our specialists in plastic aesthetic surgery have a great deal of experience and will be happy to advise you on potential risks prior to treatment in order to minimize the risk of complications.
The optimal waiting time after giving birth or completing family planning before a Mommy Makeover can vary from person to person. It is usually recommended that the body has sufficient time to recover after childbirth and that any weight changes have stabilized and you have reached your desired weight. It is advisable to wait at least six months to a year after giving birth to ensure that the body has had sufficient time to recover and to ensure realistic results and a safe surgical procedure. During a personal consultation with our specialists, all individual circumstances and needs are of course discussed so that a suitable treatment plan can be created for our patients.

What patients say about us:
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!!!
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!
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...:-)

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.
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 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.
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)
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 🙂
Many thanks to Dr Lipp and Ms Ehrl
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.
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 ❤️
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.
