Abdominoplasty & Body Contouring

Body contouring procedures at Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz include abdominoplasty to tighten lax abdominal skin and muscle, full body lift for more extensive correction after major weight loss, and lipofilling to transfer the patient's own fat to areas lacking volume. These are reconstructive and aesthetic surgical procedures performed under general anaesthetic by the clinic's specialist plastic surgery team in Frankfurt, Germany.

Body contouring surgery at Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz in Frankfurt encompasses a range of procedures to address excess skin, muscle laxity and volume loss following significant weight changes, pregnancy or natural ageing. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) corrects the lower abdominal area by removing excess skin and fat below the navel, repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) where present, and repositioning the navel for a flat, defined contour. It is particularly suited to patients after pregnancy or following substantial weight loss who retain loose, overhanging skin despite a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. For patients with extensive skin laxity across multiple body zones — circumferential around the torso, thighs and buttocks — a body lift addresses these areas in one or more surgical stages, removing the excess and lifting the underlying tissue. This is a major procedure typically following bariatric surgery or very significant weight reduction. Lipofilling (autologous fat transfer) uses fat harvested by liposuction from one area of the body and injected into another to restore lost volume — for example in the buttocks, face or breasts — using the patient's own tissue without synthetic implants. All procedures are performed under general anaesthetic by Prof. Dr. med. Dennis von Heimburg and the Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz team in a facility accredited under ACREDIS and QEP in Frankfurt, Germany. Recovery timelines vary: abdominoplasty patients typically resume light activity within two to three weeks and full exercise at six to eight weeks; body lift recovery is longer. Praxisklinik Kaiserplatz is centrally located in Frankfurt with excellent domestic and international transport links.
