Assumption of costs

If you already have a cost approval from your health insurance company or the following criteria apply to you, unfortunately the operation cannot take place at the Breast Atelier. We are unable to bill for any services that are covered by health insurance.

In this case, we recommend a consultation at the Center for Plastic Surgery. Please note that the Pyramid Clinic is a private clinic and that you will need supplementary insurance (semi-private/private) for your hospital stay.

Criteria for the assumption of costs

The health insurance company does not assess the visible size of the breast, but whether the overly large breast causes health problems such as back or neck pain.

The following criteria must have preceded a cost approval:

  • Repeated medical appointments
  • Intake of medication
  • Physiotherapy or back training
  • the patient must be of normal weight (BMI < 25)
  • the complaints are persistent 
  • the estimated surgically removed breast tissue must be approx. 500g per side

We will be happy to answer any questions you may have about reimbursement by health insurance companies. You can find more information on this topic at "When does health insurance pay for breast surgery?"

Staff all extremely friendly and helpful. My doctor was very empathetic and left me feeling reassured. Well looked after, informed and prepared for the operation. Optimal from A to Z. No pain after the operation. Aftercare: Unfortunately, I received two bras that were too small and pinched. Only discovered and adjusted during aftercare. Healing process went well and without any problems. Very satisfied with the result. Could be better: Unfortunately, there was no privacy in the recovery room. Conversations of other patients could be overheard.

The care during the day of the operation was very emphatic and empathetic. After the anesthesia I had difficulties with my circulation, the nurses were very helpful and responded to me individually.

I hadn't been happy with my sagging breasts for years and finally looked into breast reduction. The website, the video reviews and the requested before/after pictures totally convinced me of Breast Atelier. The atmosphere and the friendliness of all the staff should be emphasized. I always felt very comfortable. Consultation: was very short, but informative Surgery day: everything went according to plan and optimally Pain: I had enough painkillers, which made the whole thing bearable. Sleeping on my back was extremely uncomfortable and painful for me. I woke up every night and took Novalgint drops. Aftercare: I always felt well looked after and comfortable. Everything is very speedy and yet friendly. Healing process: I took extreme care of my body and followed the instructions. It looks like everything went according to plan and there were no complications. I'm very happy with the end result!"

Everything went well. The breasts fit well. They are not exactly the same, but have a good fit and size.

I felt that I was in good hands with Dr. Adelsberger. She is very competent and emphatic. The staff at reception were also very nice and helpful. They took away my fear of the procedure. The consultation was very pleasant. Right from the start, including post-correction of a scar. I was very nervous on the day of the operation. The anesthetist and the assistants were very kind and proactively eased my fears. The pain was less severe than expected. The healing process went relatively well despite a gaping wound, which had to be stitched up again. As one scar did not heal perfectly, I was able to have it corrected without any complications.
