Dortmund and the Sauerland have hardly any WAL specialists. On the A2 you reach Dr. Fetai in 75 minutes — outpatient procedure, journey home the same day.
In Dortmund and the Sauerland there are hardly any specialised WAL providers with Body-Jet technology. For the gentlest lipo method, patients from East Westphalia and the Sauerland choose Düsseldorf.
No detours: A2 or A44 towards Düsseldorf. The procedure is outpatient — journey, treatment and return on the same day.
For lipoedema patients from the Sauerland and Dortmund, WAL is especially relevant. Dr. Fetai is a LiPLEG study operator — one of the few WAL specialists for lipoedema in NRW.
The method
Water-jet-assisted liposuction under local anaesthesia: no scalpel, no general anaesthesia, minimal recovery time. The harvested autologous fat can be used directly for BBL, breast or face.
All about WAL →At around 60 minutes, Dortmund marks the longest journey in the NRW catchment. To make the trip worthwhile, Dr. Fetai offers patients from the Dortmund area a digital video pre-consultation — so a sound assessment is available before the first visit.
The catchment area covers Dortmund city centre, Aplerbeck and Hörde as well as the neighbouring towns of Unna and Hamm.
By car the route runs via the A40/A46 towards Düsseldorf and takes about an hour. Alternatively, the RE1 connects Dortmund and Düsseldorf in around 55 minutes.
The catchment area's main licence plates are DO, UN and HAM.
The Dortmund particularity is distance — and a pragmatic approach to it. The video pre-consultation lets open questions, the choice of method and suitability be clarified in advance. The in-person trip to Düsseldorf then happens purposefully, without unnecessary repeat journeys.
Yes. Precisely because of the longer journey, Dr. Fetai offers a digital video pre-consultation before you travel to Düsseldorf.
The RE1 connects the two cities in about 55 minutes. From Düsseldorf main station it is a few minutes to the practice.
We know of no specialised WAL provider with a Body-Jet device in Dortmund or the Sauerland. Patients from this region travel to Düsseldorf for water-jet liposuction.
Approx. 75 minutes via the A2 or A44. The procedure is outpatient — you are treated and discharged on the same day.
Yes. WAL is the gold standard for lipoedema — lymph-sparing, LiPLEG study protocol. Dr. Fetai is a specialised LiPLEG operator. For Sauerland patients without local specialists, Düsseldorf is the recommended address.
Yes. The fat harvested with WAL can be used directly for a BBL or breast augmentation (autologous fat) — in a single procedure. That saves a further trip and operation.
"WAL is not the fastest technique. It is the smartest."
