BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF
LIPOSUCTION (LIPOSUCTION)
Fat pads on the thighs and hips, the so-called "saddlebags", are a problem for many women, as they often cannot be combated even with the strictest diets or extreme exercise. Fat deposits are particularly stubborn in (female) problem areas such as the stomach/hips, upper arms, thighs and buttocks, as well as on the chest and lower abdomen in men. The subcutaneous fatty tissue and, in many cases, a genetic predisposition are responsible. In addition to aesthetic aspects, the fat pads can sometimes also lead to a restriction of blood flow to the skin.
A slim, sporty silhouette with liposuction
In contrast to dieting, which only shrinks the fat cells, we permanently remove the fat cells during surgical liposuction. Once fat tissue has been removed by liposuction, it cannot grow back.
I have recently started using the so-called Body Jet WAL (Water-Assisted Liposuction) procedure for liposuction - an advanced method of liposuction that is characterised by its efficiency and minimal invasiveness. This technique has established itself as a popular choice for plastic surgery patients worldwide as it offers a more precise and gentler alternative to traditional liposuction methods.
Liposuction is ideal for localised fat deposits (fat pads); it is unsuitable for "slimming down" general excess weight and is not suitable for people who are very overweight or morbidly obese. The final result is only visible after approx. 3-6 months. If the skin is severely sagging, further skin tightening procedures may be necessary, such as an abdominoplasty or thigh lift.
With my many years of experience in the field of liposuction, I will be happy to advise you, perform the procedure according to the latest scientific findings and ensure a natural and beautiful result.

Gentle liposuction by water jet - Body Jet WAL (Water-Assisted Liposuction)
At the centre of the Body Jet WAL procedure is the use of a thin, water jet-assisted cannula system, which makes it possible to loosen and remove fat cells with a high degree of precision. In contrast to conventional methods that use mechanical movements or ultrasound, the WAL technique utilises a fine, pulsating jet of water. This jet of water is introduced directly into the fatty tissue to gently separate fat cells from surrounding structures such as blood vessels and connective tissue.
One of the main advantages of the Body Jet WAL procedure is the reduction of tissue damage and bruising. As the water jet specifically dissolves fat cells without severely affecting surrounding tissue, the method is much gentler. Patients generally experience a faster recovery time and less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional liposuction methods.
The technique also enables more precise body contouring. The improved control over fat removal allows surgeons to treat specific areas more effectively, achieving a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result. This is particularly important in areas where precise contouring is required, such as the abdomen, thighs or arms.
Another advantage is that the fat obtained can be used for autologous fat transplants if required. As the fat cells are less traumatised by the gentle water jet, their vitality is largely preserved, making them ideal for procedures such as breast augmentation or facial fillers.
Overall, the Body Jet WAL procedure is a safe, effective and patient-friendly option for those considering liposuction. With its numerous benefits, it is an excellent choice for patients who value minimal invasiveness, quick recovery and excellent aesthetic results.
The treatment is carried out at the ATOS Clinic in Munich, where I also have my practice.

Liposuction - an option for me?
Liposuction is almost always performed for aesthetic reasons. It is therefore important that you are clear about why you want the procedure. Discuss with me what expectations you have of liposuction. We will explain the possibilities and limitations in your individual case. Liposuction is not a means of losing excess weight. Your goal is not to radically remove all fat cells, but to create a new, even contour. In general, liposuction is not a question of age. However, firm and elastic skin that adapts well to the new body shape after the procedure is a prerequisite for a successful operation.
We are here for you!
What the patients say ...
Prof Holm Mühlbauer is a very competent and experienced doctor. I have already had several outpatient procedures performed by her and she has also operated on me twice. I am very satisfied with the results. She advises and explains everything and answers every question. A top doctor! I can only recommend her to anyone.
I also have to say that the team at the O.P. was great and Mrs Fischer at reception is incredibly friendly and helpful anyway. You feel very welcome in the practice.
I had a breast augmentation 3 months ago with Prof. Dr Holm Mühlbauer and the result is great!
Mrs Prof. Dr Holm Mühlbauer gave me perfect advice on size so that it fits my body, I felt very well looked after and would always have it done there again.
Everything healed perfectly and I am more than satisfied.
I came across Prof Dr Holm-Mühlbauer through a recommendation from another doctor and immediately felt that I was receiving extremely competent advice. Before, during and after the breast augmentation, I could not have been better looked after by Dr Holm-Mühlbauer and her practice team.
The well-being of the patient is absolutely the focus here. Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer even came in on her day off just for me to remove the drainage.
The result of the operation is simply perfect + beautiful!

Sympathetic and professional experienced doctor,
I am very grateful to her and glad that I am in surgery with her. Best
I had a face and neck lift and an upper eyelid lift with Prof Dr Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer and the result was simply sensational.
I look young, fresh and not operated on. Just as it should be.
I didn't have any pain, but you have to be prepared for haematomas and swelling. But don't worry, this is normal and will be broken down by the body.
Professor Dr Charlotte Holm Mühlbauer is the best, both professionally and personally.
Her practice manager Sabine Fischer is always very friendly and helpful.
All the staff at the clinic who looked after me were caring and competent.
My husband is also delighted with the result.
I had my first experience with Dr Charlotte Holm Müllbauer 5 years ago. I came for the first time for a lip treatment. She was very professional and friendly at the same time. My lips were well done, I didn't have much swelling
🙏🏻 I was satisfied every time, but have since changed my doctor because the clinic in Effnerstr. is difficult for me to reach.
Friendly and very professional doctor!
I like going to her, the result is always natural!
I had a breast reduction with Prof Dr Charlotte Holm-Mühlbauer and I am delighted with the result. The reduction and lift turned out better than I had imagined. The result is natural and significantly firmer, fine scars that are barely visible and no pain after the operation. I am more than happy with the result. The entire team at the Atos Clinic is simply wonderful and always friendly and courteous. I have always had difficulties with circulation and nausea after general anaesthesia. At the Atos Clinic I had no complaints for the first time. From the initial consultation to the last follow-up examination, Prof Dr Holm-Mühlbauer and the practice team make you feel very well looked after and accepted. They are committed to their patients and are always at your side. I can only recommend Prof Dr Holm Mühlbauer to anyone.

Prof Dr Mühlbauer-Holm is a very good, experienced and empathetic doctor! I was already "under her knife" several times in her Bogenhausen days.
I owe it to her skill that my face is now very satisfactory again after I had to have a wing of my nose removed due to a basal cell carcinoma. Thank you very much for that!

Äußert professionelle Betreuung und Abwicklung. Für mich war es die erste OP im „kosmetischen“ Bereich. Die OP verlief reibungslos. Der Heilungsverlauf war sehr schnell und unkompliziert. Kurz nach der OP war das sehr gute Ergebnis und die professionelle Arbeit von Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer deutlich erkennbar. Das Ergebnis ist sehr natürlich. Hier kenne ich andere Ergebnisse.
Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer macht das mit einem Fachwissen und einer Kompetenz die man suchen muss. Ich bin froh, Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer kennengelernt zu haben.
Die Assistentin von Frau Prof. Holm-Mühlbauer ist eine Perle. Herzlich, freundlich und fröhlich …
Professor Holm-Mühlbauer was recommended to me for a facelift. I will always be grateful for that. The first consultation, the inpatient stay and the subsequent aftercare were characterised by a professional and charming manner that you will rarely find in the medical field, but which is crucial for the necessary trust.
The result of the operation was simply great - natural and yet with a resounding result.
I would recommend this address to all my friends and acquaintances.
