Liposuction in Stuttgart

Yes, as a consultation is a medical service that must be billed according to the German scale of medical fees (GOÄ), there is a one-time fee of €75 for the individual and very detailed consultation.

Yes, the accompanying person can also stay overnight at the clinic.

In principle, multiple treatments can be performed during a single appointment. To what extent certain treatments can be combined must be discussed during a personal consultation.

A specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery has specialized in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery during their 6-year specialist training following medical studies. Since the term “cosmetic surgeon” is not protected, any doctor can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon without having completed specialist training. Therefore, we recommend that you entrust yourself to a specialist, such as Dr. Eppstein.

Dr. med. Ron Julius Eppstein is a full member of the DGPRÄC (German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons), the ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), the VDÄPC (Association of German Aesthetic-Plastic Surgeons) and the GÄCD (Society for Aesthetic Surgery Germany).

No, the costs of the overnight stay are included in the OP price. There are no further costs for you.

As a rule, there are several weeks between the consultation and the surgery date. By law, a minimum period of 48 hours is required between the consultation and the performance of an elective procedure.

Certain pre-existing conditions as well as the intake of anticoagulant medication can lead to a decision against performing a cosmetic surgery procedure. Such matters are discussed in detail during the consultation.

In a preliminary consultation with Dr. Eppstein, you will be told everything you need to know before the operation. Two weeks before the operation, you should not take any medications that affect blood clotting, such as ASS (Aspirin). You should also stop smoking. Everything else is detailed on our ‘Before and After’ sheet, which you will receive after your consultation.

Fat can be suctioned from the thighs, lower legs, abdomen, hips, upper arms, neck, and chin.

Yes, multiple body regions can be suctioned during a single procedure. If liposuction is performed on several body regions, the procedure may be carried out under general anesthesia.

No, generally, the suctioned fat cells cannot grow back. However, remaining fat cells can be filled again, for example, through a poor, unhealthy diet or a lack of exercise and movement.

After liposuction, you must wear compression garments for 6 weeks. These will be provided to you and are included in the surgery price.

Exercising after the procedure depends not only on the treated body region but also on the type of sport itself. After 2-3 weeks, you can resume light exercise without putting strain on the treated area. Additionally, light activities, such as walking, help prevent thrombosis. From the 4th week onwards, the intensity of the load on the treated body region can be gradually increased.

The two techniques used by Dr. Eppstein for liposuction are water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) and the tumescent method. In WAL, fat cells are detached from the surrounding tissue using a razor-thin water jet and then suctioned out. The fatty tissue is suctioned gently, and postoperative discomfort is often significantly reduced as a result.

With the tumescence method, on the other hand, a larger amount of tumescence fluid is injected into the affected area, causing the fat to swell. This allows the fat to be suctioned off more easily. This technique is also gentle on the body, as the patient can do without general anesthesia.

The scars from liposuction (approx. 3mm incisions) are minimal and hardly visible after some time.

Under general anesthesia, depending on body size and weight, a maximum amount of 4-5 liters can be removed. With local anesthesia, a removal of approximately 2 liters is possible.

You will receive an emergency number where you can reach Dr. Eppstein at any time. In the event of a complication, please do not hesitate to call.

Physical rest and a healthy diet are important factors that contribute to rapid wound healing. The same applies to abstaining from cigarettes and alcohol. Dr. Eppstein will discuss further individual measures with you during the consultation.

The pain is generally well tolerated. Dr. Eppstein will issue a prescription for pain medication depending on the type of procedure.

A visible result is usually achieved after 3 months. The final result usually after 6 months. The scars have generally reached their final shape after about one year.

This may be possible under certain circumstances, but should be discussed individually with Dr. Eppstein.

Smoking can lead to a narrowing of the blood vessels, which worsens blood circulation and thus impairs healing. For a rapid healing process, one should therefore refrain from the consumption of alcohol and cigarettes.
