Many Years of Experience and Specialization in Lipoedema Surgery
Dr Krüger and the team at the Grafental Clinic have many years of experience in the field of surgical therapy for fat distribution disorders, especially in lipoedema, corrective interventions, and the procedure of fat tissue transfer, known as lipofilling in brief.
In the field of lipoedema surgery, Dr Krüger uses water-jet-assisted liposuction, WAL in short. During this procedure, fat cells are loosened from the tissue using a wafer-thin, high-energy jet of water and suctioned off. The advantage of this method is that no liquid has to be injected. This means no large amounts of fluid remain accumulated in the body. The WAL technique is particularly gentle for liposuction procedures and water-jet-assisted fat transfer, and involves minimal risks compared to conventional methods, meaning that nerves and blood vessels remain almost completely intact. This method has been proven to enable faster healing due to less blood loss, fewer haematomas and less swelling, so patients can go home after just a very short inpatient stay in the clinic.
Short Distances for Patients of the Specialist Clinic for Lipoedema Surgery at the Grafental Clinic in Dusseldorf
The excellent location of the Grafental Clinic in the Dusseldorf Medical Centre facilitates a precise patient care. It is not uncommon for special blood tests or radiological diagnostics having to be implemented, providing timely results thanks to our in-house cooperative partners.

The modern and high-quality technical equipment in the operating theatres allows complex procedures to be performed. As a result, you receive comprehensive care, from diagnosis to surgery and after care – all in one place.
Dr Krüger is committed to advancing the diagnosis of the disorder of lipoedema. Therefore, the Specialist Clinic for Lipoedema Surgery, together with the Study Centre at the Luisen Hospital in Dusseldorf, conducts scientific studies to improve today's therapeutic methods. Voluntary participation can be integrated into the intensive care for all patients.
