Dr. med. Manuela Micheel

Professional career

Early in my medical career, I worked in hand, plastic, reconstructive, and burn surgery at the BG Trauma Center Tübingen. I further built operative routine and interdisciplinary experience in general, visceral, and thoracic surgery at Marienhospital Stuttgart, and deepened my expertise in plastic surgery at the BG University Hospital Bergmannsheil Bochum. From 2018, I worked in the Department of Hand, Plastic, and Aesthetic Surgery at Medius Klinik Nürtingen, obtained board certification as a “Specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery” in 2021, and subsequently took on senior physician (Oberärztin) responsibilities. In 2024, I joined OCC Tübingen as an employed specialist; from 2025, I focused specifically on lipedema surgery with “Lipomedicum.” In early 2026, I expanded the team at the Klinik auf der Karlshöhe.
Academically, my doctoral research (magna cum laude) focused on titanium alloys and mesenchymal stem cells—a foundation for precise, tissue sparing surgery. I am a member of the DGPRÄC and maintain ongoing engagement within the professional community.

Experience and work in the field of lipedema

In treating lipedema, I prioritize comprehensive diagnostics and a tailored therapeutic concept. I place great emphasis on gentle liposuction techniques, clear communication about benefits and risks, and reliable, structured aftercare. This provides the basis to reduce pain and pressure, improve body proportions in a balanced way, and enhance your mobility in daily life.
