Aesthetic liposuction (liposuction) at PANTEA® in Munich
Aesthetic liposuction is a proven method of removing stubborn, localized fat deposits that persist despite successful dieting and regular exercise. Even after significant weight fluctuations (e.g. after pregnancy), the body can be contoured through aesthetic liposuction. Typical areas for such fat deposits in women are the inner and outer thighs (so-called "breeches"), the abdomen, the hips (so-called "love handles") and the chin ("double chin"). In men, the distribution of fat differs slightly compared to women, with the annoying fat deposits in men mainly accumulating in the area of the hips (so-called "love handles") or on the stomach and chin ("double chin"). Other areas of the body suitable for liposuction are the upper arms ("love handles"), calves, knees and buttocks.
As one of the leading centers for lipedema surgery, we successfully perform over 700 liposuction procedures every year. We always take care to achieve not only the best possible medical but also aesthetic results. With this extensive experience, every liposuction is routinely performed by our experienced team on the basis of our proven quality standards, which significantly reduces the risks in advance.
In combination with aesthetic liposuction, we offer the option of surgical skin tightening (with plasma or laser if required). The results of our aesthetic liposuctions often mean a beautiful, shapely figure and a better quality of life and self-confidence for patients.

Treatment methods
We use two different methods to effectively remove fat deposits. On the one hand, there is the tumescent technique, which we use for smaller areas and also perform in our outpatient surgery under local anesthesia (possibly in conjunction with twilight sleep). A special saline solution is mixed with a local anesthetic and then the mixture is injected into the tissue to be treated. The fat cells absorb this liquid and can then be suctioned out via tiny incisions in the skin using a special suction tube. On the other hand, there is vibration liposuction (PAL = "power assisted liposuction") for the suction of larger areas under general anesthesia in our clinic. Here, fine cannulas are inserted into the body, which "shake out" the fat cells, so to speak, and suck them out. If necessary, plasma or laser technology can also be used for additional skin tightening.
We often combine these two techniques in order to achieve the best possible result - especially when large amounts of fat are to be suctioned out. This protects the surrounding nerves and lymph channels. For smaller procedures, it may be possible to limit ourselves to one type of liposuction, but we decide this on a case-by-case basis.
In the best case scenario, liposuction can lead to lifelong results and thus to an increase in quality of life. This can be achieved in particular if patients maintain a healthy and balanced diet and sufficient exercise before and after liposuction.
Therapy procedure with PANTEA®
Medical treatment comprises several steps: from diagnosis through to completion of treatment.
1.
The first step at PANTEA® is a detailed consultation. Our doctors will take time for you, answer your questions and carry out a photo documentation, ultrasound and physical examination.
2.
Depending on the findings, we will work with you to determine an individual treatment plan and discuss all the options for optimally implementing your desired treatment.
3.
Together with our patients, we decide on the most suitable surgical method for liposuction during the consultation.
4.
The day before the operation you should drink enough fluids and get enough sleep so that you can have the operation in a healthy and rested state.
In the case of an outpatient operation, you may have a light breakfast on the day of the operation, you do not have to come to the surgery on an empty stomach. If you decide to have an operation under general anesthesia in our inpatient clinic, you should come to the clinic on the day of the operation on an empty stomach, i.e. you should not eat anything for at least 6 hours before the operation and not drink anything for at least 2 hours before the operation.
5.
In aesthetic liposuction, the fatty tissue is permanently removed from the desired areas. Depending on the findings, the procedure is performed either under local anesthesia (possibly in combination with twilight sleep) in our outpatient surgery in the practice or under general anesthesia in our inpatient clinic. As a rule, patients can leave the practice after the outpatient operation or the clinic the day after the operation.
6.
After the operation, our patients receive a "post-op kit". This contains useful aids, a compression girdle and tips and advice for optimal behavior during the healing phase and afterwards, as well as high-quality nutritional supplements and nutriceuticals to support the healing phase and the sustainable transition to a healthy and balanced diet.
Follow-up appointments take place at fixed times after the operation, depending on the healing process. Of course, we are always available to answer our patients' questions after the operation.

Questions about aesthetic liposuction (liposuction)
Liposuction involves the permanent surgical removal of fat. Our aim here is always to use our standardized "PANTEA® method" to remove an optimal volume as gently as possible and at the same time achieve the best possible aesthetic result.
All PANTEA® specialists follow our standardized holistic treatment approach and have learned the "PANTEA® method" through intensive collaboration with Dr. med. Anna-Theresa Lipp in a large number of joint operations. This ensures that the treatment results of all our PANTEA® specialists always meet our highest possible quality standards.
In our private practice for plastic & aesthetic surgery and our center for lipedema surgery in Munich, we accompany our patients not only before, during and after treatment as a trusted companion.
Aesthetic liposuction should be considered if certain problem areas do not disappear despite a healthy and active lifestyle.
First and foremost, the aesthetics of problem areas are perceived as unattractive and people want a better shaped body. Individual areas of the body, such as the abdominal muscles, can be contoured in a targeted manner.
We use two different methods to effectively remove fat deposits. On the one hand, there is the tumescent technique, which we use for smaller areas and also perform in our outpatient surgery under local anesthesia (possibly in conjunction with twilight sleep). A special saline solution is mixed with a local anesthetic and then the mixture is injected into the tissue to be treated. The fat cells absorb this liquid and can then be suctioned out via tiny incisions in the skin using a special suction tube. On the other hand, there is vibration liposuction (PAL = "power assisted liposuction") for the suction of larger areas under general anesthesia in our clinic. Here, fine cannulas are inserted into the body, which "shake out" the fat cells, so to speak, and suck them out. If necessary, plasma or laser technology can also be used for additional skin tightening.
We often combine these two techniques in order to achieve the best possible result - especially when large amounts of fat are to be suctioned out. This protects the surrounding nerves and lymph channels. For smaller procedures, it may be possible to limit ourselves to one type of liposuction, but we decide this on a case-by-case basis.
In the best case scenario, liposuction can lead to lifelong results and thus to an increase in quality of life. This can be achieved in particular if patients maintain a healthy and balanced diet and sufficient exercise before and after liposuction.
After the operation, you can expect swelling and a feeling of tightness in the suctioned areas. The body needs a few days to recover and remove the remaining fluid from the tissue. We recommend lymphatic drainage to support this. The incisions are very small and are usually completely healed after 10-14 days. There is no reason why you should not start going for walks just a few days after the operation, and after two weeks you can slowly start exercising again.
Aesthetic liposuction can be used to treat specific problem areas, which usually leads to an increase in mobility, quality of life and self-esteem. Regardless of whether small or large areas are being treated, the results of liposuction are long-lasting. As fat cells do not multiply but only swell, fat cells cannot grow back once they have been removed. If you follow a healthy and balanced diet and take sufficient exercise, the treatment results can last a lifetime.
As with any surgical procedure, liposuction also involves certain risks, which we can discuss with you in advance and reduce to a minimum thanks to our gentle methods and many years of experience.
Slight swelling and minor bruising may occur after the operation. We recommend that you elevate the affected area and cool it regularly.
The length of time you will be unable to work depends on the area treated and the amount of fat cells removed by liposuction. You should refrain from sports and sauna visits for a few days up to 3 weeks (depending on the findings and extent). We recommend that you wear the compression garments provided by us around the clock for 6 weeks (possibly another 6 weeks during the day) to avoid complications and to support your body during recovery.
We also recommend that you attend the agreed follow-up appointments after liposuction so that we can help you quickly and specifically with any questions or possible complaints during the healing process. We will also be happy to answer any questions you may have at any time.
