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?"

The entire process, from the consultation to the healing process, went exactly as it had been described to me. The detailed consultation allowed me to mentally prepare myself well for the upcoming surgery, anaesthesia and post-operative pain, and I did not have any unexpected negative experiences in this regard. I felt supported and well looked after by Breast Atelier at all times. Thank you very much!
