Weight Doctors® RESHAPE: body shaping after weight loss

Weight Doctors® accompany you not only on the way to your desired weight but also afterwards: Weight Doctors® RESHAPE brings together body contouring and skin tightening after successful weight loss.

What Weight Doctors® RESHAPE includes

The treatment programme combines the work of specialists in plastic and aesthetic surgery with a holistic approach – tailored to your physical starting point and your personal aesthetic goals. The options range from fine correction to comprehensive tightening:

  • [Liposuction](/behandlungen/fettabsaugung/)Liposuction to refine contours.
  • [Arm lift](/behandlungen/oberarmstraffung/)targeted tightening when skin has been left over on the arms.
  • 360-degree liposuction: remaining, stubborn fat pads on the abdomen, flanks and back are removed in a single procedure.
  • [Body lift](/behandlungen/bodylift/)a comprehensive skin tightening that can treat several areas of the body at the same time – abdomen, flanks, thighs and buttocks.

Tightening without surgery: Renuvion

As a gentler option without conventional tightening surgery, skin tightening with Renuvion is available. The procedure uses cold plasma to tighten the skin from the inside and promote a firmer-looking skin.

This method comes into question particularly after GLP-⁠1 therapy, in which body weight often falls by 10–15% according to studies. With mild to moderate excess weight and a wish for firmer skin, the combination of GLP-⁠1 therapy and Renuvion can improve the body silhouette – without tightening surgery and with a short recovery time.

Safety before speed

Whichever therapy for weight loss and whichever method of body shaping you choose: in the Weight Doctors® concept, safety takes priority. There are no miracle solutions, even though social media keeps promising them. Weight Doctors® therefore recommend a treatment only after a detailed consultation and a thorough medical history, so that every patient receives a treatment tailored to them.

The popular GLP-⁠1 medicines in particular show how important reputable, professional support is: recently, cases of serious health problems from improper use or counterfeit products have been mounting. Even the World Health Organization WHO warns of counterfeit batches being sold in large quantities over the internet. Anyone who uses the medicine without medical supervision and in the wrong dose risks having to be treated in hospital.

“We view this development with great concern. The wish for a body you feel good in is legitimate. But for it to be fulfilled safely, a safe, independent and comprehensive treatment by experts is needed.”

Dr. med. Oliver Scheffel, specialist in general and bariatric surgery
