Breast augmentation in Dortmund: a look inside our operating theatre

What does a modern implant feel like, and why does it lie under the muscle? Dr. med. Frank Gruner, specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, explains it where it happens: in the operating theatre of Westfalenklinik – from the viscoelastic gel to the position under the pectoral muscle, which aims at a natural-looking result.

90 seconds of real footage from our everyday work in the operating theatre. Because anyone who decides on an operation should know who they are placing their trust in. You can read more about the procedure on the page on breast augmentation in Dortmund.

Note: The video shows real surgery scenes.

Mommy makeover in Dortmund: tummy and breasts in one procedure

Pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding change the body. If the skin of the abdomen is severely stretched and the breasts have lost their shape, exercise and diets often no longer help. Dr. med. Frank Gruner, specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, shows in the operating theatre of Westfalenklinik how a mommy makeover proceeds: several procedures under one anaesthetic, with only one healing phase.

In part 1 he explains why liposuction is not enough for this patient: the skin is stretched too far, so the abdominal wall is tightened and the navel is repositioned. Part 2 shows the planning in the operating theatre: in addition, there is a breast lift and liposuction on the hips and pubic area.

Part 1: tummy tuck, part 2: breast lift. Two parts, around three minutes: real footage from our everyday work in the operating theatre.

Note: The videos show real surgery scenes.
