After substantial weight loss, especially after bariatric surgery, excess, loose skin often remains. It can be physically and psychologically burdensome. A body lift removes excess skin from several body regions. You plan which areas are tightened in a consultation with our doctors in Düsseldorf.
Body lift in Düsseldorf: consultation, surgery and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
Your body lift takes place at the Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the check-up appointments afterwards. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres and patient rooms: you are advised and operated on in the place where you are looked after following the procedure and where you return for aftercare.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the grounds. This also makes appointments after the operation easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area.
What is a body lift?
In a body lift, excess skin is removed and the tissue is tightened. The procedure can cover several areas of the body at the same time, for example the abdomen, flanks, thighs and buttocks.
Body areas
Several areas in one procedure
A body lift can cover several areas of the body, at the front as well as at the back. Which ones apply to you, you decide together with your doctor after a thorough examination.
01FrontAbdomen and thighs
At the front, a body lift can include the abdomen and the thighs. Excess skin is removed and the tissue is tightened, if needed also the abdominal muscles in the same procedure.

Consultation and planning
Careful planning and a detailed consultation are essential before a body lift. At the Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, we discuss all aspects of the treatment with you: your medical history, your expectations, the extent of the procedure, the risks and the aftercare.
It is important that you are well informed and make the necessary preparations to support the healing process.

Your schedule at the Klinik am Seestern
This is how a body lift proceeds at the Klinik am Seestern, from preparation to the result:
Step 1
6 to 12 months before
Stable weight. You have reached your target weight and are keeping it stable. If your family planning is not yet complete, please bring this up, because a pregnancy stretches the skin again.
Step 2
Beforehand
Consultation and planning. We discuss your medical history, your expectations, the extent of the procedure, the risks and the aftercare with you. You can book your appointment online.
Step 3
Day of surgery
The procedure. Several areas of the body are tightened in one procedure, for example the abdomen, flanks, thighs and buttocks.
Step 4
The first weeks
Healing. Swelling and bruising subside. You wear special compression garments and avoid physical exertion.
Step 5
After 3 to 6 months
The result. The skin has healed and the contours have firmed up, and the final result can be assessed.
Step 6
In the long term
Maintaining your weight. A stable weight makes a substantial contribution to the result lasting a long time.
The healing process
After a body lift, swelling and bruising subside over the first few weeks. The final result can only be assessed after about three to six months, once the skin has healed and the contours have firmed up.
During the healing phase it is important:
To be patient
To follow your doctor’s instructions precisely
To avoid physical exertion
To wear special compression garments
To pay attention to a healthy diet
We support you throughout the entire healing process. A stable weight makes a substantial contribution to the result lasting a long time.
What does a body lift cost in Düsseldorf? Costs and financing
The cost of a body lift depends on how many areas of the body are tightened and how involved the procedure is, for example if the abdominal muscles are also tightened in the same procedure. Individual areas can also be tightened on their own, for example with a tummy tuck or a thigh lift. After your consultation, we will draw up a no-obligation treatment quote for you. Financing is possible through our financing partner, more on this under Financing your treatment.
A body lift may be an option if excess skin and fat deposits remain after bariatric surgery or considerable weight loss. A prerequisite is that your weight is stable and that you are in good general health.
What is the difference compared with simple liposuction?
Liposuction reduces fatty tissue but does not remove excess skin. A body lift removes excess skin and tightens the tissue in several body regions. It is not intended for further weight loss, but for shaping and tightening the body.
How long does the result last?
The removed skin does not grow back. How long the result lasts depends above all on a stable weight; the natural ageing process also continues to change the skin.
Can I still become pregnant after a body lift?
Yes, pregnancy is possible after a body lift. However, we recommend waiting with the procedure until your family planning is complete, as a pregnancy stretches the skin again and excess skin can reappear.
How much weight should I have lost before a body lift?
There is no fixed number of kilograms. What matters is that you have reached your target weight and have kept it stable for at least 6 to 12 months.
What does a body lift cost in Düsseldorf?
The cost depends on how many areas of the body are tightened and how involved the procedure is, for example if the abdominal muscles are also tightened. After your consultation at the Klinik am Seestern, you will receive a no-obligation treatment quote. Financing is possible through our financing partner.
Where in Düsseldorf does the body lift take place?
Consultation, operation and aftercare take place at the Klinik am Seestern, Am Seestern 4 in 40547 Düsseldorf-Lörick. The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine near the B7, the U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the grounds.
Costs and financing
Pay conveniently in instalments.
You can pay for your treatment in monthly instalments through our financing partner medipay, with terms of up to 72 months. We will tell you the price of your procedure after the consultation.
I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Very beautiful clinic, wonderful reception and great service. The consultation with the doctor was very comprehensive and she addressed all my questions, which is all you could wish for as a patient / customer. I will definitely have my treatment done here.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.

I really liked the super friendly manner of the ladies at reception, and also that the doctor took the time to see and advise me, as well as the nice lady who went through the cost plan with me. I felt wonderfully looked after and will definitely have my treatment there. Thank you once again for everything so far.

I was welcomed very nicely. The doctor was also very nice and answered all my questions. She also showed understanding that one does not decide straight away.
