One of the first questions when considering breast augmentation concerns the reimbursement of costs. The costs are only reimbursed under basic insurance if there is a medical indication. Doctors give a medical indication after a mastectomy, for example. Unfortunately, this does not include psychological suffering or loss of self-confidence. If the difference between your breasts is at least two cup sizes, you may be entitled to reimbursement of a breast reduction. The largest breast will be reduced in size to match the other breast. You may be entitled to a partial reimbursement from a supplementary health insurance policy, check this with your health insurance company. In most cases, you will pay the excess and the rest will be reimbursed. Hospitals have agreements with health insurance companies and the vast majority of private clinics also work with insurers. Be sure to clarify this in advance to avoid unexpected costs.
The Breast augmentation is a safe cosmetic procedure that is performed under general or local anaesthesia, depending on the technique. If you opt for silicone implants, the doctor will discuss the procedure with you and mark the incisions on the skin. The size of the implants will be known and the way in which the implants will be inserted will also be discussed with you. Breast augmentation takes 1 to 1.5 hours and you will be under anaesthesia during the procedure. After you have recovered in the recovery room, the doctor will check your state of health. In most cases, you can leave the clinic on the same day and recover at home. Breast augmentation with autologous fat consists of two parts, both of which are performed under local anaesthetic. Firstly, excess fat is removed from the hips, thighs or abdomen, for example. After cleansing, the fat is injected into the breasts and evenly distributed by the doctor. After the treatment, you do not have to stay in the clinic and can rest at home. Most women recover after the procedure without any complications or side effects.

BREAST AUGMENTATION IN HOSPITAL FAQ - FAQ
There are a number of frequently asked questions about breast augmentation in hospital. Of course, you can also ask us these questions by e-mail or telephone. However, we think it makes sense to answer a number of questions in this way.
When do I have to go to hospital for a breast augmentation?
You have the choice of going to a hospital or a private clinic for a breast augmentation. Depending on the reason why you undergo the procedure, your health insurance company may grant you partial or full reimbursement. The health insurance company may make it a condition of reimbursement that you have the breast augmentation performed by a panel doctor. In most cases, these are the large general hospitals.
Which breast augmentation is performed at the clinic?
Breast augmentation with implants is mainly performed in hospitals. This is usually the case when it comes to breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. Another technique that is used less frequently in clinics is liposuction in combination with lipofilling.
Do I have to stay in hospital longer?
This varies from hospital to hospital. In most cases, breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure itself takes around 1.5 to 2.5 hours and, in the case of implants, is performed under sedation. Breast augmentation with autologous fat is also performed under sedation. Depending on how you feel after the procedure, the doctor will give you permission to go home.
Is breast augmentation in hospital always reimbursed?
The costs of breast augmentation are only reimbursed if there is a medical indication. Women who have had one or both breasts amputated due to breast cancer, for example, are entitled to reimbursement. Reimbursement is also sometimes possible if there is a difference of two or more cup sizes between the two breasts. In this case, the larger breast will be reduced in size. Some supplementary insurance policies offer limited reimbursement for cosmetic surgery.
Is breast augmentation in hospital expensive?
The cost of the procedure varies from clinic to clinic. It is possible to request quotes from various hospitals and/or private clinics in advance and compare them.
What is the pain like after a breast augmentation in hospital?
The sensation of pain is different for everyone. Depending on the technique used to insert the implants, you may experience pain. You will be given painkillers while you are in hospital. The specialist can give you a prescription for painkillers so that you can counteract any post-operative pain at home. After a few days, the pain should be completely gone.
Can I wear a normal bra after breast augmentation?
After the operation, your breasts will be bandaged. When the bandage is removed, you should immediately wear a seamless sports bra with good support. Avoid using an underwired bra. Wear the sports bra both during the day and at night for the first 4 to 6 weeks. It helps to restore the tissue structure in your breast.
Why is breast augmentation performed under anaesthetic?
Specialised cosmetic doctors work as safely as possible and want to limit the risks. Modern anaesthesia is often much safer and more comfortable than local anaesthesia. Especially if you know that you will have to lie still on the operating table during the treatment, anaesthesia is preferable to local anaesthesia.
Can I determine my new cup size myself?
During the consultation with the plastic surgeon, we will discuss the extent to which your wishes regarding the new breast size can be taken into account. Your physique, the structure of your skin and the existing glandular (breast) tissue will be taken into account. The surgeon will recommend a cup size for you, taking into account a natural appearance and your own wishes.
How long will the results of my breast augmentation remain visible?
In most cases, breast augmentation has permanent results. After a certain time, under the influence of various factors, the breasts can become saggy and droop again. This is why you should always use a good bra anyway.
Do the implants have to be replaced after a few years?
As a result of ageing, the skin can become saggy and change its shape. This also affects the implants. Depending on your own wishes and the shape of your breasts, you can have the implants checked every 10 to 15 years and replaced if necessary. In some cases, modern, high-quality implants can last a lifetime.
How dangerous are silicone implants?
The current generation of silicones was developed for their safety. The Acura Clinic works with high-quality products from Mentor. These implants are subjected to strict controls. You can touch the implants and feel their structure during the admission consultation.
Can I still breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Yes, this is not normally a problem. However, you should be aware that pregnancy can affect the shape of your breasts. The skin and tissue can stretch during pregnancy. Correction may be necessary later because the body does not recover sufficiently.
Do I have to stop smoking beforehand?
If you are considering surgery or a cosmetic procedure, you should stop smoking at least 8 to 6 weeks before the procedure. Smoking increases the risk of complications both during and after surgery. Blood circulation is negatively affected, which can lead to poor wound healing and tissue death. Smoking is also strongly discouraged after the operation. The health insurance companies reimburse various aids to stop smoking.
Can I continue to take the medication I am taking as planned?
During the initial consultation, the doctor will discuss any medication you may be taking. For example, if you are taking blood thinners, we will discuss with you how and whether you can take these medications shortly before the operation. Stick to the schedule given to you by the plastic surgeon and only resume your usual daily routine when the doctor tells you to.
How do the breasts feel after breast augmentation?
In the period after the operation, both the breasts and the nipples may be more or less sensitive than before the operation. This usually lasts from a few weeks to a few months. In most cases, normal sensation returns on its own, although this may take longer for some patients than others.
