Body Contouring
Liposuction & BodyTite for optimal results
The perfect combination for defined contours and firm skin
Sometimes liposuction alone is not enough to achieve the desired result – especially if the skin has lost elasticity. This is where Body Contouring comes in: the intelligent combination of liposuction and BodyTite, a minimally invasive radiofrequency technology for skin tightening.
While liposuction permanently removes unwanted fat deposits, BodyTite simultaneously tightens the tissue from within – without major incisions, without visible scars. The result: a harmoniously shaped, firmly contoured silhouette.
What is BodyTite?
BodyTite is an innovative procedure that uses radiofrequency energy. Controlled heat is delivered into the tissue via a thin probe. This stimulates collagen production and leads to immediate and long-lasting skin tightening.
The advantages of BodyTite:
- Tightening of sagging skin without surgery
- Minimal incisions (3–4 mm)
- No large scars
- Significantly shorter recovery time than with surgical tightening
- Can be performed simultaneously with liposuction
Who is Body Contouring suitable for?
The combination of liposuction and BodyTite is ideal for you if you want to get rid of stubborn fat deposits and at the same time have firmer skin, your skin has lost elasticity – for example after pregnancy or weight loss – or you desire a defined body contour but prefer not to undergo major surgery. A prerequisite is that you have realistic expectations and are willing to support the result long-term through a healthy lifestyle.

The Process - Liposuction & BodyTite in one session
1. Consultation
We analyze your skin condition, discuss your goals, and jointly decide whether Body Contouring is the right procedure for you.
2. Treatment
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with twilight sleep or general anesthesia. First, the fatty tissue is suctioned, followed by the BodyTite treatment for skin tightening – all in one session.
3. Recovery
After the procedure, you will wear a compression garment for several weeks to support healing. Light movement is possible soon, but you should pause sports for about 4–6 weeks.
4. Result
First results are visible after a few weeks. The final result appears after 3–6 months, once the tissue is fully tightened and contoured.

Frequently Asked Questions about Body Contouring

The incisions for liposuction and BodyTite are minimal (3–5 mm) and are placed in inconspicuous areas. They usually heal very well and are barely visible after a few months.
The removed fat cells are permanently gone. Skin tightening with BodyTite is long-lasting – provided your weight remains stable. The natural aging process of the skin continues, but significantly slowed down.
Yes, absolutely. We can perform Body Contouring specifically on individual areas – e.g., only on the abdomen, only on the thighs, or only on the upper arms.
