When Does Liposuction with Regular Cannulas Make Sense?
Regular cannulas are thicker than microcannulas and allow for a more aggressive, rapid and efficient liposuction. Even 3 month after the liposuction postoperative fat breakdown can happen due to the high aggressiveness of regular liposuction cannulas. Thus the use of microcannulas for liposuction is to prefer when a gentle and precise contour shaping is required. […]
Breast Reconstruction with the Body’s Own Fat Instead of Silicone Implants
Today we once again performed breast reconstruction in a female patient who was very dissatisfied with the silicone implant she got after a surgical tumor removal from her left breast. First of all the breast concerned was malformed due to a capsular fibrosis (resulting from the implant), after the explantation of the implant there was […]
Is Breast Augmentation Always “Cosmetic Surgery”? (Part 2)
With breast augmentation with autologous fat it is the same as with liposuction – it depends on whether therapeutic aims get pursued or if the intervention just serves as modification of the body shape. As mentioned before almost all of the surgeries/treatments we perform in our office are meanwhile done for therapeutic reasons, even if […]

In her case there was […]
How Many Body Parts Can Be Liposuctioned at Once?
A patient wants to know: Can there be fat liposuctioned from the legs, abdomen, knees, and upper arms in one surgery? My answer was: It depends on the overall volume of fat planned to be extracted in the liposuction. Usually it is not advisable to do too many regions at once. So we would recommend […]
Is Breast Augmentation Always “Cosmetic Surgery”? (Part 1)

Aesthetic Surgery: Body Modification versus Therapy
Pure “cosmetic surgeries” (or better “body modifications”), that means surgical interventions which are neither performed for reconstruction of objective physical deficits nor indicated therapeutically to treat the patient’s physiological strain, are hardly done by us today. In contrast, in my ordination we almost exclusively carry out therapeutically indicated aesthetic interventions, which help to improve the […]
