At LipoSthetic Dr. Heck, everything revolves around your well-being and your beauty. As a subsidiary of LipoClinic Dr. Heck, which has been a leader in the sustainable surgical treatment of lipedema for years, we have been offering innovative solutions in the field of aesthetic surgery since 2021. Our locations in MĂĽlheim an der Ruhr and Hamburg give you access to highly qualified specialists and medical staff who will lovingly take care of your individual needs and help you achieve your beauty goals.
Our goal at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck is to accompany you even after the successfully performed lipedema liposuctions and to be at your side if there are still areas that should bother you aesthetically.
It is important to emphasize that aesthetic and medical treatments cannot take place in the same operation. There are significant differences in the tax treatment of liposuctions and aesthetic procedures. Medically indicated procedures, such as liposuction for lipedema, are exempt from VAT. Aesthetic procedures at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck, on the other hand, are subject to VAT. This separation is necessary to ensure clear invoicing and responsibilities and to ensure that all tax requirements are met correctly.
It should also be noted that both medical and aesthetic procedures represent an enormous stress factor for the body and a combination of major procedures further increases this stress. Every procedure puts a strain on the body and can have both physical and psychological effects that should not be underestimated. The healing process requires time and patience, and the body needs sufficient rest to fully recover.
It is therefore essential to carefully weigh up all aspects with the attending physician and to obtain comprehensive information at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck before deciding on several procedures at the same time.
LipoSthetic Dr. Heck offers a comprehensive range of aesthetic treatments that are individually tailored to your needs. Our experienced specialists use the latest techniques and technologies to guarantee you the best results. Whether it’s tightening surgery or liposuction, we are at your side to guide you on the path to a new body image.
Surgical tightening procedures remove excess skin and tighten the remaining skin to achieve improved contour and firmness. After significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies, excess skin and tissue can affect self-confidence and make daily life difficult. Physical stresses such as skin being caught in clothing, skin irritation and emotional stresses such as the emerging feeling of not having the body you want despite working hard are common reasons why women opt for tightening surgery at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck. Aesthetically, tightening is not necessary, but the subjective perception and the occurrence of the aforementioned stresses are a reason why the decision to have a tightening is made.
Tightening operations include, among other things:
At LipoSthetic Dr. Heck, we understand these sensitive concerns and accompany you sensitively on your way to a new body image.
Stubborn fat deposits that do not disappear despite diet and exercise can severely affect self-image. Aesthetic liposuction offers a wide range of options for improving body image. The targeted removal of fat deposits can harmonize body contours and boost self-confidence.
Areas that can be improved by liposuction include:
At LipoSthetic Dr. Heck, we take the interaction between lipedema and their psyche seriously and work with you to achieve your desired body image.

Our patient Nicole Rathmann, 45, suffered from stage II lipedema and underwent several liposuctions at LipoClinic Dr. Heck. After the surgical lipoedema treatment, she decided to have thigh lift surgery at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck. An upper arm lift is also planned for the future. Nicole reports that she had a lot of excess skin after the liposuctions, which restricted her everyday life. After the lift, she feels happier and more content.

The recovery time can vary depending on the procedure and the individual healing process. As a rule, patients should expect a recovery period of several weeks during which physical exertion should be avoided.
A healthy diet, sufficient fluid intake, avoidance of nicotine, alcohol and direct sunlight as well as sufficient rest and protection can have a positive influence on healing.
Aesthetic procedures are not covered by health insurance as they are not considered medically necessary.
In some cases, several procedures can be combined at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck in order to minimize recovery time. We will be happy to advise you on which combinations are possible and sensible.
Our experienced specialists conduct individual consultations at LipoSthetic Dr. Heck to understand your needs and wishes. Together, we develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific goals.
