Breast augmentation with autologous fat at PANTEA in Munich

For many women, their breasts play a decisive role in their self-esteem. Particularly when they are perceived as too small or lose shape after pregnancy and weight loss, dissatisfaction often increases.

For smaller breast augmentations, breast augmentation with autologous fat is an alternative to breast augmentation with implants.

For breast augmentation with autologous fat, fat is first removed from a suitable area of the body as part of an "aesthetic liposuction", for example from the hips, abdomen or thighs. The removed fat is then injected evenly and symmetrically around the mammary gland.

A pleasant side effect of breast augmentation with autologous fat is, of course, that "annoying fat pads" are removed during the same procedure.

Why do women opt for breast augmentation with autologous fat?

A very good alternative to breast augmentation with implants is breast augmentation with autologous fat - especially if you want a smaller breast augmentation. This is particularly suitable for patients who do not want to have an implant in their body.

For breast augmentation with autologous fat, we first remove excess fat through aesthetic liposuction from areas such as the hips, abdomen or thighs. This fat is then carefully and symmetrically injected around the mammary gland to create a natural and harmonious breast volume. The resulting small scars, both from the fat removal and from the injection into the breast, are minimal and quickly become inconspicuous.

A pleasant side effect of breast augmentation with autologous fat is, of course, that "annoying fat pads" are removed in the same procedure in areas where you would have liked to have a better contoured body anyway.

We do not recommend and therefore do not offer breast augmentation with autologous fat suctioned from areas affected by lipedema.

Procedure for breast augmentation with autologous fat at PANTEA in Munich

Medical treatment comprises several steps: from diagnosis through to completion of treatment.

1.

The first step is a joint consultation. 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.

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 breast augmentation with autologous fat 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.

5.

On the day of the breast augmentation operation, you should arrive at the clinic 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.

6.

After the operation, our patients receive a "post-op kit". This contains useful aids, as well as hints and tips 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.

Of course, we are always available to answer our patients' questions after the operation.

7.

We recommend that you take approx. 1 to 2 weeks off after the operation. Aftercare includes wearing compression garments or the abdominal belt day and night for approx. 6 weeks. After 6 to 8 weeks, you may resume light sports activities.

8.

Follow-up appointments are made at fixed times after the operation, depending on the healing process. In addition, appointments can be arranged at any time in the event of uncertainties or questions after the operation.

9.

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 your breast augmentation with autologous fat.

    Questions about breast augmentation with autologous fat

    Breast augmentation with autologous fat is a good choice for a patient who wants a natural and gentle smaller breast augmentation but refuses an implant.

    A prerequisite for this type of breast augmentation is, of course, that suitable fat deposits are present in areas of the body that are to be contoured. For this reason, this method of breast augmentation may not be suitable for very slim patients. However, this needs to be clarified in a personal consultation and discussed in peace.

    Breast augmentation with autologous fat is generally suitable for women of all ages. However, as with all other plastic and aesthetic procedures, the patient should be at least 18 years old. We therefore follow the recommendation of the German Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (DGÄPC).

    The breast can be enlarged by around half a cup size to a maximum of one cup size in one surgical session. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated several times to further enlarge the breast. If a large breast augmentation is desired, a breast augmentation with implants, possibly supplemented by a breast augmentation with autologous fat, is the more suitable method. By combining autologous fat and implants in a single operation, the autologous fat is used for additional contouring - for example of the décolleté. One of the advantages of breast augmentation with autologous fat is that a change can be seen immediately after the operation. The final result can be seen after three to six months.

    Autologous fat has the body's own genetic structure, which is why it is easily accepted by the body. However, experience has shown that the body breaks down around 20 to 30 percent of the injected fat cells in the first three months. After successful healing, the remaining fat cells grow into the blood vessels over time, allowing smaller vessels to sprout into them. The end result is therefore permanent and lasting.

    Breast augmentation with autologous fat is associated with relatively low risks and side effects. In rare cases, there may be general surgical risks such as inflammation, wound healing disorders or infections in the breast region.

    Minor swelling and, in rare cases, slight bruising may occur in the breast and liposuction area after breast surgery. However, these will disappear on their own within the first few weeks.

    In addition, there may be a temporary loss of sensation, but this disappears quite quickly. Pain and feelings of tension can be treated with mild painkillers.

    In very rare cases, over- or undercorrection and asymmetry of the breast are possible. However, these rare cases can be corrected afterwards.

    In some cases, more than 20-30% of the transplanted autologous fat is broken down again in the first few weeks, meaning that a single operation can only result in a slight permanent increase in breast size. We observe this particularly in patients who follow a diet after the operation.

    The PANTEA® private practice works to the highest hygiene and monitoring standards so that you are not exposed to any unnecessary risks. We also guarantee close follow-up examinations to provide you with the best possible support for your recovery.

    As a rule, breastfeeding is not affected by breast augmentation with autologous fat.

    Lipedema fat cells are abnormal fat cells, which are therefore removed as completely as possible from the affected areas of the body as part of a comprehensive "liposuction for lipedema" to rid the body of the lipedema fat cells.

    In our opinion, breast augmentation with autologous fat, which is suctioned from areas affected by lipoedema, is not recommended and is rather counterproductive. For this reason, we do not offer breast augmentation using autologous fat with lipoedema fat cells.

    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, including the absolutely painless removal of the drainage, deserves special mention and 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, which 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 and 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! A tummy tuck is not so common, especially in men, but the correction of the mons pubis was far better than the preliminary discussion 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.it was important to me personally to go to a woman with this topic because I personally feel more comfortable.since I do not correspond to the ideal dimensions of a woman but am a little curvier, I was worried that my concerns would not be taken seriously, but might even be advised against it. But Dr. Wetzel immediately allayed my concerns and gave me the feeling that I, as a curvy woman, would be allowed to undergo aesthetic procedures in the same way. 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 unsure in the first step, I only decided to have a breast lift in April 23. then, however, my breasts had too little fullness and I had a breast augmentation with implants in December 23.She also gave me excellent and competent advice on the size and manufacturer of the implants I wanted, including 2 or 3 sample photos of what I wanted my breasts to look like, and 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, from the information, to the planning of the operations, to the aftercare, everything went very well and 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 simply fits, and the entire practice team should not be forgotten. The team was always easy to reach or called back quickly. Everyone was always friendly and helpful, no matter what concerns I had, and I was looked after very lovingly and professionally both in the practice and in the Iatros Clinic, and I can really recommend Dr. Wetzel and the Pantea practice to anyone with a clear conscience, and I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Wetzel and the Pantea team!

    I have had a liposuction for lipedema 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 was and am able to ask all my questions. 2 more liposuctions are planned and the final step will be an arm lift, because my upper arms are now quite empty. ....😘😊❤️Aber I can only recommend the practice. The clinic where the operation is performed is also totally pleasant - within the scope of the possibilities after such an operation. I also felt that I was in good hands here...:-)

    Experience report: Diagnosis and treatment of lipoedema at the Pantea Clinic MunichM. KBSince 10 years I have been suffering from stage 2 lipoedema. The discovery of this disease came 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 an unusual stability. I didn't think anything of it at first, but as time went on the changes became more and more obvious, and 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 alleviate the pain, but 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 didn't have any great expectations when I went to the clinic, I was rather hopeless, and 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 and thoroughly explained everything I needed to know, and the good news was that although lipoedema cannot be cured, there are ways to significantly improve my quality of life. Specially made compression garments and pants can help you to 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 and I immediately decided to have the operation. At the age of 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 and 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, and 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.

    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, and the almost 3 hour drive there and back was always worth it, from the first consultation to the aftercare.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 in an advisory capacity) in an empathetic and at the same time 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, and 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 also 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 imagine any better doctors/surgeons. Everyone is very empathetic and the result of the operation is more than I 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 great organization once again. many thanks to Dr Lipp and Ms Ehrl

    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 and 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

    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, and because of her research she is very familiar with the conditions of this disease. 2 operations have been performed on me by Dr. Lipp so far. Her colleagues and the practice team are also very nice and Dr. Hermanns has been able to give me many helpful tips, and I am very happy to have gone this way with Dr. Lipp. And I hope she can help many more patients to lead a pain-free life.
