Body lift in Dortmund

After major weight loss and structural changes to tissue, skin and proportions, a comprehensive, individually tailored body lift is often the conclusion of a long journey. At the Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, we support you from the first consultation to aftercare.

Body lift in Dortmund: planning, surgery and aftercare from a single source

For your body lift, you are at the Westfalenklinik in Dortmund from the first consultation to the final follow-up examination. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has been at the same location in the Rosemeyerstraße for 25 years and, also for complete care and support after the operation, does not depend on external surgical centres, private-practice clinics or hospital departments. At night, you are looked after by the clinic’s own qualified staff trained in emergency medicine; anaesthesia is provided by anaesthetists specialising in plastic and aesthetic surgery.

The Westfalenklinik is located at Rosemeyerstraße 2–4 directly on the B1/A40, in the immediate vicinity of the Signal Iduna Park. By car, leave the B1 at the Dortmund-Hombruch exit and park on the building’s parking deck directly in front of the entrance. By public transport, take the U45 from the main station to Stadtgarten and then the U42 to Theodor-Fliedner-Heim.

What is a body lift?

After major weight loss and structural changes to tissue, skin and proportions, a comprehensive, individually tailored body lift is often the conclusion of a long journey. In post-bariatric treatments, we support you throughout the entire process, from the first consultation to aftercare. The body lift not only removes excess skin and fatty tissue, but also tightens the underlying tissue and reshapes the body contours.

The comprehensive solution after your weight loss

Drastic weight loss often leads to an excess of sagging skin, which disturbs the overall aesthetic appearance and can also be psychologically distressing. This is a common problem, particularly after a bariatric procedure in which considerable amounts of weight are lost.

A body lift offers a comprehensive solution here by removing excess skin and tightening the tissue. This procedure can treat several areas of the body at the same time, such as the abdomen, the flanks, the thighs and the 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 and consultation.

Aims of a body lift

  • Conclusion of a long journey after massive weight loss
  • Removal of excess skin and tightening of the tissue in several areas of the body at the same time
  • Treatment of the abdomen, flanks, thighs and buttocks in one comprehensive procedure
  • Firmer, more harmonious body contours after weight loss
  • 360-degree care from the first consultation to complete aftercare

What a body lift is intended to achieve after bariatric surgery

After bariatric surgery, a body lift pursues functional goals as well as aesthetic correction:

  • Removal of an average of 5 to 15 kg of excess skin and fatty tissue, depending on the findings
  • Reduction of skin irritation and inflammation in skin folds
  • Improvement of personal hygiene and mobility
  • Stabilisation of the abdominal muscles through simultaneous muscle tightening, if it is needed

The combination of functional improvement and aesthetic correction makes the body lift an important component of holistic treatment after massive weight loss. Particularly after weight loss of more than 50 kg, a body lift is often an option to treat excess skin in several body regions.

Modern techniques at the Westfalenklinik

We use modern techniques with the aim of your body lift achieving a natural-looking and harmonious result. Every treatment is tailored to the specific needs and goals of the patient, based on a thorough analysis and consultation by our doctors.

Your schedule for the body lift at the Westfalenklinik

This is how a body lift proceeds at the Westfalenklinik, from preparation to the result:

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Beforehand

    Consultation and planning. In the 360-degree consultation, we discuss all aspects of your treatment with you, from the extent of the procedure to aftercare. You can book your appointment online.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    The first weeks

    Healing. Swelling and bruising subside. You wear special compression garments and avoid physical exertion.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    In the long term

    Maintaining your weight. A stable weight and a healthy lifestyle make a substantial contribution to maintaining the new body contours.

The healing process after the body lift

After a body lift, the first changes become visible after just a few weeks, once the initial swelling and bruising subside. However, the final result only becomes apparent after about three to six months, once the skin has completely healed and the new contours have firmed up.

During this 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 closely throughout the entire healing process. A stable weight makes a substantial contribution to your new body contours lasting in the long term.

What does a body lift cost in Dortmund? 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.

The Westfalenklinik’s treatment prices are final prices including statutory VAT. Overnight stay and meals, follow-up treatments and the costs for the anaesthetist are not added afterwards; on request, follow-up cost insurance against the costs of possible follow-up procedures is available, which we offer at cost price. Financing is possible through our financing partner, more on this under Financing your treatment.

Frequently asked questions

When is the right time for a body lift?

A body lift is recommended particularly when stubborn fat deposits and excess skin remain after bariatric surgery or considerable weight loss. It is important 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; the body lift additionally removes excess skin and tightens the tissue in several body regions. Body lift surgery is not intended for further weight loss, but for the targeted shaping and tightening of the body. It is a comprehensive measure that is embedded in a holistic concept of body contouring.

How long does the result last?

With a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, the new body contours of a body lift can be maintained in the long term. However, the natural ageing process 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 can affect the result of the operation. The skin is stretched 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 been able to keep it stable for at least 6 to 12 months. Most of our patients have lost between 50 and 150 kg before deciding on a body lift.

What does a body lift cost in Dortmund?

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 Westfalenklinik, you will receive a no-obligation treatment quote. The prices are final prices including overnight stay, meals, follow-up treatments and anaesthesia; financing is possible through our financing partner.
