We advise you in person on the treatment of cellulite at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf. Here you can read how cellulite develops, how it differs from lipoedema and what a treatment can achieve.
Cellulite, often also called orange peel skin, shows as dimples and unevenness of the skin, mostly on the thighs, buttocks and hips. It is not a disease and does not cause pain. After puberty, most women have cellulite to a greater or lesser degree, including slim and athletic women. It is rare in men.
Beneath the skin lies the subcutaneous fatty tissue, which is traversed by strands of connective tissue. In women, these strands run mostly vertically. When small lobules of fat push upwards between them while the strands pull the skin down at individual points, the typical dimples develop. Factors that play a role include predisposition, hormones, the firmness of the connective tissue and fluctuations in body weight.
Doctors distinguish several grades:
Sturdy legs with dimples in the skin are not always cellulite. In lipoedema, the fatty tissue on the legs or arms increases pathologically and on both sides. Typical signs are pain on pressure and touch, bruises that develop quickly, and a disproportion between a slim upper body and sturdy legs, while hands and feet stay slim. Cellulite, by contrast, does not hurt. If you are unsure, have the cause medically investigated. You can read how the conditions differ under Lipoedema, lymphoedema or cellulite?.
A treatment can improve the appearance of the skin. According to current knowledge, cellulite cannot be permanently eliminated, because the structure of the connective tissue remains. How clearly and for how long the appearance of the skin changes depends, among other things, on the grade of the cellulite, on the connective tissue and on body weight. Regular exercise, a stable weight and a balanced diet can support the connective tissue.
In a personal conversation, we look at the affected areas, clarify whether it is cellulite or lipoedema, and discuss your wishes and expectations. Which treatment may be an option in your case, what it can achieve and where its limits lie, we will explain to you openly before you decide.
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.
