Liposuction, skin tightening or weight loss in Düsseldorf
Stubborn fat deposits, loose skin and too much weight can sometimes look similar in the mirror, but each needs a different treatment. This overview helps you to put things in context; the decision is made together in the consultation at Klinik am Seestern.
Fat or skin: liposuction removes fat, skin tightening removes excess skin, and the two often belong together.
Weight first: with marked overweight, weight loss comes before any body contouring.
One consultation: at Klinik am Seestern we look at fat, skin and weight together.
01
Liposuction or skin tightening in Düsseldorf: the consultation at Klinik am Seestern
Consultation room
If you would like a different contour on your abdomen, legs or arms, you often face the question of what is actually bothering you: the fat, the skin or the weight as a whole. Whether liposuction, skin tightening, a combination of the two or weight loss first makes sense depends on the answer. At Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf we offer all three paths and advise you before a decision is made.
For your consultation you come to Lörick on the left bank of the Rhine, to the Am Seestern office district near the B7. The U77 underground line connects the main station directly with the Am Seestern stop, and there are free parking spaces for your car on our premises. Patients from Düsseldorf, Meerbusch and Neuss can therefore reach us by train or car.
02
Three starting points at Klinik am Seestern, three paths
01
Localised fat deposits with elastic skin
If a deposit on the abdomen, hips, thighs or arms persists despite exercise and diet, and the skin still has tension, liposuction can change the contour without additional skin tightening being necessary.
02
Loose or excess skin
If the skin has become slack after pregnancies, weight loss or with the years, it does not retract through liposuction. In that case skin tightening removes the excess skin; for moderately slack skin, RENUVION® may also come into question.
03
Overweight
If there is marked overweight, weight loss comes first. Liposuction or skin tightening can follow later, once the weight is stable.
04
Painful legs on both sides
If legs or arms are thick on both sides and painful when pressed, lipoedema may be the cause. How to recognise lipoedema is described under Lipoedema symptoms and stages.
03
When liposuction in Düsseldorf is suitable
Liposuction removes fat between the skin and the muscles through small punctures. It comes into question above all when these points apply:
The fat deposit is localised
The skin is elastic enough to settle back into place
Your weight has been stable for some time
Exercise and diet have changed little in that area
Skin tightening at Klinik am Seestern: abdomen, legs, arms and more
Tummy tuck
The tummy tuck removes excess skin and fatty tissue on the upper and lower abdomen and can be combined with tightening of the abdominal muscles. A stable weight is a prerequisite.
Thigh lift
The thigh lift takes away excess skin and fatty tissue mainly on the inner thighs and can be combined with liposuction.
Upper arm lift
In an upper arm lift, excess skin on the inside of the upper arms is removed, together with liposuction if required.
Body lift
A body lift tightens several regions of the body, for example after major weight loss, when skin is left over in many places.
RENUVION®
RENUVION® works with helium plasma and radiofrequency energy and is suitable above all for moderately slack skin, on its own or following liposuction.
05
Lose weight first, then shape: paths at Klinik am Seestern
With marked overweight, the path begins with weight loss. For this, Klinik am Seestern offers treatments under medical supervision: GLP-1 therapy with a prescription-only active ingredient, the endoscopic stomach reduction without an incision through the abdominal wall, the swallowable gastric balloon, which needs no surgery or anaesthesia, and nutrition coaching. Which treatment comes into question is clarified in a separate conversation; you will find all paths under Weight loss.
If your weight has stayed stable for a while, remaining deposits or loose skin can be treated in a targeted way. A stable weight afterwards also helps the result to last.
06
Combining liposuction and skin tightening
Often the two procedures belong together: the fat is suctioned off, and the excess skin is removed in the same or a later procedure. How liposuction itself works, which anaesthesia comes into question and how long you wear compression is described under Liposuction in Düsseldorf and After liposuction. What the price depends on is described under Cost of liposuction.
Cold treatments such as cryolipolysis or injections to break down fat are not among the treatments offered at Klinik am Seestern; in the consultation we talk about the procedures that we carry out ourselves.
07
How the consultation at Klinik am Seestern works
Step 1
In conversation
Your ideas. You tell us what bothers you and what you have tried so far; we ask about your weight history, pregnancies and previous illnesses.
Step 2
Examination
Fat, skin and tissue. We look at the regions, check the elasticity of the skin and palpate the tissue.
Step 3
Recommendation
Your path. You find out whether liposuction, skin tightening, both or weight loss first suits you, and afterwards you receive a cost estimate.
08
Questions for your consultation in Düsseldorf
Is the fat under the skin or rather in the abdominal cavity?
How elastic is my skin in this area?
Is liposuction enough, or is skin tightening needed?
Should I lose weight beforehand, and in what way?
Which anaesthesia comes into question, as an outpatient or with an overnight stay?
How long do I wear compression afterwards?
What do the costs depend on in my case?
Bring your questions to the consultation at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf. We examine you, talk openly about possibilities and limits and then prepare a no-obligation cost estimate for you.
If the main problem on the abdomen is a fat deposit and the skin is still elastic, liposuction may be enough. If the skin hangs over after pregnancies or weight loss, a tummy tuck removes skin and fatty tissue and can also tighten the abdominal muscles. The examination shows which option suits.
Liposuction or GLP-1 therapy?
The two pursue different aims. With GLP-1 therapy, a prescription-only active ingredient is used under medical supervision to lower body weight. Liposuction, by contrast, changes the contour of individual regions and is not suitable for losing weight. Sometimes one follows the other.
Liposuction or stomach reduction?
A stomach reduction serves weight loss, at Klinik am Seestern endoscopically and without an incision through the abdominal wall, combined with a change in diet. Liposuction can later shape individual deposits once the weight is stable.
Does Klinik am Seestern offer cryolipolysis or a fat-removal injection?
No. Cold treatments such as cryolipolysis and injections to break down fat are other procedures that we do not offer at Klinik am Seestern. In the consultation we talk about the treatments that we carry out ourselves.
Can liposuction and skin tightening be combined?
Yes, this often makes sense, for example liposuction together with a tummy tuck, thigh lift or upper arm lift. On the thighs, for example, liposuction of saddlebags can be combined with skin tightening. This makes the procedure more extensive, which is also reflected in the costs.
How can I tell whether my skin will retract after liposuction?
What matters is the elasticity of the skin, which depends on predisposition, age and earlier weight fluctuations. Only the examination gives a reliable assessment; it is hard to judge for yourself.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
No. Liposuction shapes individual regions of the body and is not suitable for treating severe overweight. If you want to lose weight, you will find medically supervised paths under Weight loss.
What does liposuction with skin tightening cost in Düsseldorf?
That depends on which procedures come together, how long they take and whether an overnight stay is necessary. After the consultation you receive a no-obligation cost estimate, and financing is possible through our financing partner.
Where in Düsseldorf can I get advice on this?
At our clinic, Am Seestern 4 in 40547 Düsseldorf. It is in Lörick on the left bank of the Rhine, the U77 stops at the Am Seestern stop, and you can park your car free of charge on our premises.
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.

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.
