Dr. med. Wagma von Gaertner

My main focus is on breast surgery. In addition to breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast lift and the correction of sagging breasts, I also treat congenital breast malformations such as tubular breast forms and breast reconstruction after tumor diseases. Since every breast is different in shape and tissue composition, the consultation is my top priority. In a personal conversation from woman to woman, you have the opportunity to express all your questions and concerns without inhibitions. I would like to respond to your individual ideas and wishes. After the consultation and examination, an individual treatment plan will be created. With special care we discuss all surgical techniques and risks. The well-being of my patients is my priority.

The development of the so-called "light" implants has made it possible to perform breast augmentation even on women for whom a classic breast augmentation with silicone implants is not suitable. This is especially true for women who have lost a lot of weight or have weak connective tissue, for example after pregnancy. The implants are not only 30% lighter, they are also very leak-proof and dimensionally stable due to their special composition. The skin and breast tissue are less stressed by the reduced weight and the breast does not sag as quickly and severely, which is unavoidable with conventional large silicone implants. We will discuss whether the B-Lite implants are suitable for you together in my practice in Frankfurt am Main. Sample implants will give you a better impression. Since every breast is different in shape and tissue composition, the consultation has the highest priority with me. In a personal conversation from woman to woman, you have the opportunity to express all your questions and concerns without inhibitions. I would like to respond to your individual ideas and wishes.

A large, sagging and too heavy breast (mammary hyperplasia) is a very big burden for many women. There are many reasons for excessive breast volume. In addition to a genetic predisposition, in which disproportionately large breasts can develop as early as puberty, increased glandular growth can also occur due to natural hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause. If the size of the breast does not fit with the overall appearance of the body, this can lead not only to physical but also to psychological discomfort. Patients often suffer from neck, head and spinal pain. In addition, there are postural problems and inflammatory changes in the underbust fold. No less important are the psychosocial disorders that occur, especially in younger women. This can range from decreased social contacts to a disturbance in psychosexual development. The only permanent and reasonable solution is surgical breast reduction. Health complaints improve abruptly and a new attitude towards life for the affected women is the result. Although breast reduction has been proven to reduce long-term damage to the shoulder and spine, unfortunately health insurance companies very often refuse to cover the costs of the operation despite medical indications. My main focus is on breast surgery. In addition to breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast lift and the correction of sagging breasts, I also treat congenital breast malformations such as tubular breast forms and breast reconstruction after tumor diseases. It is very important to me to respond to my patients' wishes regarding shape and size and to restore natural proportions. The physical and emotional well-being of my patients is always my priority. After an examination and a detailed consultation, I create an individual treatment plan. With particular care, we discuss all questions regarding possible surgical techniques, risks and the course of treatment.

Sagging breasts (mammaptosis) are a very big burden for many women. After pregnancy, weight fluctuations and weight loss, many women suffer from sagging breast skin with enlarged areolas and a lack of volume in the décolleté. In addition, a genetic predisposition with connective tissue weakness or a congenital malformation can severely affect the shape of the breast. The affected women do not feel comfortable in their bodies and withdraw from society. Especially in younger women, it can even lead to psychosocial disorders with reduced social contacts and disturbance of psychosexual development. Unfortunately, breast lift is classified by the health insurance as a purely cosmetic operation and the costs are usually not covered. There are various surgical techniques that can be used for a breast lift (mastopexy). Depending on the initial findings, I will discuss the right procedure with you. My focus is on breast surgery. In addition to breast reduction, breast augmentation, breast lift and the correction of sagging breasts, I also treat congenital breast malformations such as tubular breast forms and breast reconstruction after tumor diseases. It is important to me to respond to the wishes for shape and size and to restore natural proportions. After a detailed consultation and examination, an individual treatment plan is created.

The shape, size and position of the nipple determine to a large extent the aesthetic appearance of the female and male breast. Patients find inverted nipples or nipples that are too large with enlarged areolae very disturbing. In addition to cosmetic aspects, inverted nipples can also cause discomfort such as itching and oozing sores. I will be happy to advise you on surgical correction options in my practice.I specialize in breast surgery and nipple reconstruction (reduction/restoration after complete removal) is one of the most common surgeries I perform. Due to my many years of working in the breast centers, breast and nipple reconstruction has been one of my main focuses. It is important to me to respond to the wishes for shape and size and to restore natural proportions. After a detailed consultation and examination, an individual treatment plan is created. With special care we discuss all surgical techniques and risks.
