Overview Breast Surgery

If you suffer from sagging breasts following pregnancy, weight loss, or the natural aging process, you may be a suitable candidate. A personalized consultation with us will help assess this.

In most cases, health insurance won’t cover the costs because a breast lift is considered a cosmetic procedure. Exceptions may apply if medical conditions are present.

Unlike breast augmentation or reduction, which changes volume, a breast lift lifts and shapes the tissue without significantly changing size.

Scarring depends on the technique used. Modern techniques aim to keep scars as minimal as possible, and the scars fade over time.

Suitability depends on your overall health, body weight, and expectations for the results. A personal consultation with us will help you make the best decision.

In some cases, especially if there are health problems such as back pain or skin problems, the costs can be covered by the health insurance company.

Male breast reduction focuses on the removal of fat and glandular tissue to create a flatter, masculine breast shape, while in women the focus is often on volume and skin management.

The scars are usually small and unobtrusive, as the incisions are often placed around the nipple area or in natural skin folds. With proper aftercare, they fade over time.

In certain cases, if breast augmentation causes significant health problems, health insurance may cover the costs. A medical assessment is required.

While liposuction removes excess fat, excision is the only method to completely remove enlarged glandular tissue. This results in a flatter and permanently stable result.

Yes, many patients choose a combination of excision and liposuction or other aesthetic procedures to achieve the best overall result and to shape the upper body harmoniously.

In most cases, gynecomastia excision is considered a cosmetic procedure and therefore not covered by health insurance. However, if there are medical reasons, coverage may be possible in individual cases. Consulting your insurance provider is recommended.

Implants offer more control over volume and shape, while fat grafting provides subtle, more natural results.

As a rule, breast enlargement for aesthetic reasons is not covered by health insurance unless there are medical indications such as breast reconstruction.

Most patients can resume light activities after one week, while full recovery may take 4-6 weeks.

There are various approaches, such as incisions under the breast fold, around the nipple, or in the armpit. The choice of technique depends on your anatomy and your preferences and will be discussed during your consultation.

Women who have had or are planning a mastectomy may be candidates for breast reconstruction. A personalized consultation with Dr. Ingold will help determine which procedure is best for you.

In most cases, the costs of breast reconstruction following a medically necessary breast removal (e.g., for cancer) are covered by health insurance. This applies to both implants and autologous tissue reconstruction.

While breast augmentation and reduction primarily pursue aesthetic goals, breast reconstruction is reconstructive surgery that aims to restore a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other medical reasons.

Reconstruction with implants uses artificial implants to restore the breast, while autologous tissue reconstruction uses the patient’s own tissue from areas such as the abdomen or back. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the patient’s individual needs and wishes. We provide you with individualized advice to ensure you achieve the best possible result.

Scarring depends on the method used for reconstruction. With autologous tissue reconstruction, there will also be scars at the sites from which the tissue was harvested. Over time, these scars fade and can be minimized with special aftercare treatments.

There are different types of breast surgery, including breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, and breast reconstruction, depending on individual desires and needs.

Whether you are a good candidate for breast surgery depends on your overall health, your aesthetic goals, and your skin type. A personalized consultation at our clinic will provide clarity.

Scars are unavoidable, but we take care to place them as inconspicuously as possible, for example, in skin folds or around the areola. With proper aftercare, the scars will fade over time.

In certain cases, such as medically necessary breast reduction or breast reconstruction after cancer, the costs may be covered by health insurance. Aesthetic procedures are generally not covered.

No, breast surgery should not be performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is recommended that surgery be scheduled after birth and weaning.

Health insurance companies usually cover the costs of nipple reconstruction, especially after a mastectomy or breast reconstruction, as it is considered part of the overall procedure.

Nipple reconstruction is the final step in breast reconstruction and focuses on the aesthetic restoration of the nipple complex. It differs from major procedures because it is a minimally invasive, final touch.

Nipple reconstruction is typically performed several months after breast reconstruction, once the tissue has fully healed. It is important that the breast has stabilized in its final shape before the nipple is reconstructed.

Nipple reconstruction is typically a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal pain or discomfort after the procedure.

UAL is particularly advantageous because it efficiently removes not only fatty tissue but also firmer glandular tissue. Furthermore, the gentle ultrasound technology minimizes the risk of bruising and swelling compared to conventional methods and leads to faster healing times.

The best prerequisite is stable physical health. Ideal patients are those suffering from stubborn fat deposits in the chest area that cannot be reduced despite exercise and diet. A detailed consultation will clarify whether the method is suitable for the individual patient.

Yes, UAL can be safely used for subsequent treatments. If fat or glandular tissue reappears in the breast, the UAL method is an effective and gentle solution to achieve the desired result.

In most cases, health insurance companies do not cover the costs of aesthetic treatments such as gynecomastia UAL, as these are considered purely cosmetic procedures. However, there are exceptions: If medical necessity can be proven, e.g., due to pain, significant psychological distress, or a hormonal imbalance, a claim for reimbursement may be successful. It is advisable to thoroughly discuss the treatment with your health insurance company before treatment and, if necessary, submit medical certificates to increase your chances of reimbursement.

The best candidates for liposuction are men in good physical shape who suffer from localized fat in the chest region. It is important that the skin is elastic enough to adapt to the new body contour after fat removal. A consultation will help determine suitability.

In most cases, the costs of gynecomastia liposuction are not covered by health insurance, as the procedure is considered cosmetic. In exceptional cases, if a medical necessity, such as pain or a hormonal imbalance, is proven, reimbursement may be considered. It is advisable to check with your health insurance provider beforehand and submit medical certificates if necessary.

Liposuction is less invasive than surgical removal. It requires smaller incisions, leaves barely visible scars, and results in a faster recovery time. At the same time, fat cells can be removed in a targeted manner without overly compromising the natural structure of the breast tissue.

The best candidates are men who are in good physical shape and suffer from stubborn fat deposits in the chest region. Individuals with sagging skin also benefit from the skin tightening achieved with these technologies. A consultation helps determine suitability for treatment.

The costs for these procedures are generally not covered by health insurance, as they are considered cosmetic procedures. However, in certain cases where there is a medical need, such as hormonal imbalances or severe psychological stress, it may be possible to submit a claim to your health insurance provider for reimbursement. Prior consultation with your insurance provider and the submission of medical certificates are recommended.

After treatment, wearing a compression garment is recommended to minimize swelling and promote healing. Patients should also avoid direct sunlight on the treated area for a few weeks and engage in gentle massage to promote lymphatic drainage.

A capsulotomy involves surgically opening or incising the hardened capsule surrounding the breast implant to reduce tension and improve the shape of the breast. A capsulectomy, on the other hand, involves the complete removal of the capsule that has formed around the implant, often in more severe cases of capsular contracture. Both procedures aim to relieve discomfort and improve the aesthetic outcome.

These procedures are necessary if capsular fibrosis develops after breast augmentation, in which the tissue around the implant hardens. This can cause pain, deform the breast, or displace the implant. Depending on the severity of the fibrosis and the symptoms, a decision is made as to whether a capsulotomy or a full capsulectomy is necessary.

Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure. After a capsulotomy, patients are typically able to return to work after 1 to 2 weeks. After a capsulectomy, healing may take slightly longer because the tissue is completely removed. It is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity for 4 to 6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.

Health insurance companies usually cover the costs of nipple reconstruction, especially after a mastectomy or breast reconstruction, as it is considered part of the overall procedure.
