Understanding the Costs

Costs & Financing for Top Surgery

The cost of your procedure depends on the surgical method chosen and typically ranges between €5,900 and €7,400. You’ll receive a detailed cost estimate that includes medical fees, hospital stay, materials, nursing care, meals, and accommodation.

Additional costs may arise that are not included in the initial estimate. These may include costs for anesthesia fees, a compression vest, which must be worn for approximately six weeks after surgery, follow-up insurance, travel and flight expenses as well as accommodation for accompanying persons, if needed.

For optimal aftercare and healing, further costs may apply – such as follow-up insurance or scar care products – which are also not included in the original estimate. These should be included in your overall planning.

Please note: The full cost of the procedure must be paid in advance. We do not offer financing or installment plans. However, there are providers who specialize in financing body-shaping procedures. We’re happy to provide you with further information and contacts for suitable financing partners.

Coverage by Public Health Insurance

As a licensed private clinic under §30 of the German Trade Regulation Act, we meet all legal requirements for inpatient care.
Coverage by statutory health insurance is only possible through individual application and approval. After review, your insurer may approve treatment on a case-by-case basis. We’re happy to support you in the application process and provide all necessary information.

For international patients, we cannot guarantee coverage by foreign insurers. Please contact your provider directly for clarification.
Privately insured and self-pay patients are welcome for treatments at any time. Feel free to schedule a consultation to learn more and discuss the next steps.

★★★★★

Complete satisfaction, precision work, virtually pain-free.

Mastectomy - Dr. Diedrichson

“My son (FtM) underwent a mastectomy at the clinic with Dr. Diedrichson. We experienced complete satisfaction, meticulous surgical work, and an almost pain-free recovery. Everyone we met at the clinic had an outstandingly positive attitude. A heartfelt THANK-YOU for giving my son - and our entire family - a better, freer life.

★★★★★

My chest is beautifully flat and I couldn’t be happier with the result

Mastectomy - Dr. Pluto

“I had a mastectomy performed by Dr. Pluto in April last year. I consulted with three different surgeons before, but Dr. Pluto took the time to explain everything clearly, and I felt most comfortable with her from the start. The results are exactly what I had hoped for - my chest is beautifully flat and I’m more than satisfied. Throughout the healing process, I could reach out to Dr. Pluto at any time and always received a prompt and helpful response.

★★★★★

I’m deeply grateful

Breast Augmentation - Dr. Arens-Landwehr

“"Only eight days post-op and already incredibly happy with the result!" My small, asymmetrical breasts were enhanced using autologous fat, and they already look absolutely beautiful. Dr. Ahrens-Landwehr did an outstanding job. He’s also an incredibly kind person - competent, empathetic, and deeply attentive to his patients. And the rest of the team was just as wonderful! The anesthesiology team was also fantastic. I’m truly grateful from the bottom of my heart.

★★★★★

I felt at ease from the very first moment.

Mastectomy - Dr. Scholz

“I was thoroughly satisfied - the staff were friendly and professional, and both the practice and clinic were modern and inviting. I would recommend them to anyone.”

★★★★★

I felt truly cared for from my first consultation all the way through to surgery!

Mastectomy - Dr. Pluto

“I’m beyond grateful to have found the Plastic Surgery Clinic at Medienhafen. The surgical team was outstanding, the reception staff were incredibly welcoming, and the facilities were top-tier - I felt at ease from the moment I arrived. My surgery went smoothly and everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for offering mastectomy procedures for nonbinary people as well! I finally feel at home in the body I’ve long wished for.

★★★★★

If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Mastectomy - Dr. Scholz

“I’ve never met a more competent and conscientious physician than Dr. Scholz. The results exceeded my expectations, and the care I received - from the very first appointment to the final follow-up - was exemplary, sincere, and consistently kind. The two colleagues who handled my aftercare were equally fantastic. I can wholeheartedly recommend the clinic and the entire team!

★★★★★

Dr. Arens-Landwehr and his team are truly 100% recommendable.

Breast Augmentation - Dr. Arens-Landwehr

“He took plenty of time during our first consultation, and I never once felt rushed — which allowed me to express all my questions and concerns. Even at that early stage, there was a clear and thoughtful approach in the way Dr. Arens-Landwehr spoke. That consistency carried through into the second consultation, after which I felt completely confident in my decision to undergo surgery with him. The care on the day of the procedure was excellent. The entire team was patient, honest, and - above all - empathetic.

★★★★★

I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic.

Mastectomy - Dr. Diedrichson

“Dr. Diedrichson and the entire team were more than outstanding. I can genuinely recommend this clinic to anyone. It doesn’t get better than this.”

★★★★★

Outstanding care – I’m so grateful Dr. Pluto was my surgeon.

Mastektomie - Dr. Pluto

“Dr. Pluto performed my mastectomy with exceptional skill. It was my first major surgery, so I was understandably nervous - but throughout the entire process, she made me feel safe and reassured. I’m incredibly thankful she was my surgeon. The clinic staff spoke English and were also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
