Professor Dr. Thilo Schenck is the Medical Director of the Dr. Geisenhofer Clinic and Chief Physician of the Department of Breast, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery.
Since 2018, he has been Deputy Director & Senior Consultant of the Department of Hand Surgery, Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at the Clinical Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich. There, as Head of the Reconstructive and Aesthetic Breast Surgery Department, he was responsible for microsurgical breast reconstruction with free flap plasty (DIEP).
Professor Schenck has extensive experience in the fields of facial surgery as well as body contouring with a focus on postbariatric patients and patients with lipedema. He has over 10 years of experience in the operation of lipedema and has performed well over 1000 treatments. In addition, he is a regular consultant and speaker for self-help groups.
Tradition combined with modern medicine - this is what the Geisenhoferklinik am Englischen Garten in Munich stands for. The clinic was founded in spring 1940 by Dr. Lorenz Geisenhofer. Dr. Geisenhofer was a specialist in gynaecology and obstetrics and two years earlier he had bought the former city palace of the von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family and had it rebuilt. His aim: to provide individual care and the best possible treatment for patients in a beautiful ambience.
We still follow this goal today. The Geisenhoferklinik is one of the leading institutions in Munich and the surrounding area in the fields of obstetrics, mamma surgery, operative gynaecology and plastic/aesthetic surgery.
The typical characteristics of a lipedema are:
Facts worth knowing about lipedema:
The first step is always a personal conversation in the practice. Prior to the surgery, the affected regions are analysed by 3D surface scanning and the success of the treatment is checked postoperatively. Professor Schenck will take time for you, respond to your individual wishes and questions and, if necessary, make appointments with you for your surgeries.
Usually, two to four surgical interventions are necessary at intervals of three to four months each. Our goal ist hat you attend yours urgery fully informed and with a feeling of security. The admission is usually on the day of the surgery. On request, it is also possible to come to the clinic one day earlier at your own expense.
During the surgery the fatty tissue under the skin is loosened with cannulas and suctioned through five to fifteen tiny incisions. Here we use particularly gentle procedures with water jet-assisted fat tissue mobilisation.
After the surgery you will be provided with compression wraps and should wear compression garments for about six weeks.
During your stay you will be cared for by experienced and specially trained nursing staff and visited daily by the attending physician and a physiotherapist. After the surgeries you will be provided with compression wraps and wear compression underwear for six weeks. The average length of stay in the clinic is two days.
When removing a lipedema, it is not only a matter of eliminating aesthetic disturbing factors, but also health problems that are solved.
From stage 3 onwards, liposuction for lipoedema becomes a standard service of the statutory health insurance in certain cases. We would be happy to advise you on this.
