Praxis Dr. Schuhmann und Kollegen expands its range of services with two distinguished specialists
Düsseldorf, April 2025 – With a specialist treatment offering for transgender patients, Praxis Dr. Schuhmann und Kollegen in Düsseldorf is expanding its profile in the field of gender-affirming surgery: With the joining of two experienced specialists in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Tim Lobe and Dr. Natalie Abou Dayé, the practice's range of services now includes specialised transgender procedures. The focus is on gender-affirming breast surgery for trans men (mastectomy / "Top Surgery") as well as breast augmentation for trans women.
Empathetic. Experienced. Holistic.
The expansion marks a significant step for the care of trans individuals in NRW and beyond. "With Dr. Lobe and Dr. Abou Dayé, we have welcomed two highly skilled surgeons to our team who not only bring years of experience in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, but also specific expertise in gender-affirming procedures," explains Dr. Schuhmann.
Both surgeons perform approximately 100 transgender procedures per year. Dr. Tim Lobe also serves as a senior physician at Florence-Nightingale-Krankenhaus, while Dr. Natalie Abou Dayé operates at Evangelische Kliniken Essen-Mitte, where she recently became a senior physician. They combine their surgical expertise with the latest techniques and a compassionate, individualised approach to consultation.

More than surgery: an integrative approach
The practice's holistic approach is particularly noteworthy. In addition to the core treatment of breast gender affirmation, the team offers additional procedures that can be combined as part of an individualised treatment strategy. These include:
Minimally invasive facial contouring
With hyaluronic acid, autologous fat, or nanofat for a harmonious facial appearance
Body forming & liposuction
To harmonise body shape and achieve individual contouring
Skin-tightening procedures & scar optimisation
Radiofrequency or laser therapy for optimal aesthetic results
Short waiting times & video consultation included
The offering is deliberately tailored to patients from further afield as well. A video consultation as an initial appointment makes it possible to plan treatment individually and address any questions in advance. Surgery appointments are often available within a few weeks. The procedures themselves are carried out in cooperation with modern private clinics such as Klinik Bel Etage or Stahlhof Düsseldorf, offering a hotel-like atmosphere and 24/7 care.

Patient-centred and individually tailored
Whether trans man or trans woman, binary or non-binary: at Praxis Dr. Schuhmann und Kollegen, the individuality of each patient is paramount. From the initial consultation through to aftercare, every step of the treatment is carefully tailored to the needs of the individual. "We accompany our patients on a very personal journey. This matters to us not only medically, but also on a human level," both surgeons emphasise.
