Costs & financing

The costs of an aesthetic operation are only covered by health insurance in exceptional cases.
Modern plastic surgery is subject to sensible safety requirements, which, however, involve costs.
If a patient decides to have an aesthetic operation, they also need to consider the question of costs after detailed medical information.

The price is made up of the factors safety and quality.
For every treatment, you receive an individual cost estimate that gives you clarity about the costs. There are no hidden or additional costs for you.

“An aesthetic operation is a one-off luxury investment in your own body” – Dr. Markus-Johannes Handl

Under the Austrian Aesthetic Treatments and Operations Act (ÄsthOpG), doctors in Austria are not permitted to offer free consultations.
Our team charges a fee from €120 for the consultation. The consultation fee is credited towards any treatment carried out subsequently.

What should you look out for?

The cost of cosmetic surgery can vary depending on the type of procedure, the extent of the treatment and the reputation of the surgeon. It is important to note that cosmetic surgery is tailored to the individual, which is why no fixed prices can be given without a personal consultation and examination.

How can you recognise quality in cosmetic surgery? Here are some factors to look out for:

1. Only the plastic surgeon has years of training in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The plastic surgeon is the expert for what is colloquially called “cosmetic surgery”. “Cosmetic surgeon” is not a recognised specialist title.

2. The surgeon's experience and qualifications: check the surgeon's training, expertise and experience. An experienced and qualified surgeon will have appropriate training, certifications and many years of experience in performing cosmetic surgery.

3. Reputation and recommendations: find out about the surgeon's reputation and read reviews and testimonials from previous patients. Recommendations from trustworthy sources such as friends, family or other medical professionals can also be helpful.

4. Clinic or practice: pay attention to the facility where the procedure is performed. A high-quality clinic or practice should have state-of-the-art equipment, hygiene standards and a professional team.

5. Before-and-after pictures: ask the surgeon for before-and-after pictures of previous patients who had the same procedure. These can give you an idea of the possible results and help you assess the quality of the surgeon's work.

6. Personal consultation: a thorough and personal consultation is crucial to discuss your concerns, clarify your expectations and draw up an individual treatment plan. A reputable surgeon will take enough time to answer your questions and give you all the information you need.

7. Safety and aftercare: ask about the safety precautions during the procedure and the aftercare. A qualified surgeon will have appropriate safety measures in place and offer adequate aftercare to ensure that you are well looked after throughout the process.

It is important that you feel comfortable and well informed when choosing a surgeon for cosmetic surgery. Take time to compare different options, attend personal consultations and ask questions to make sure you receive the best possible quality and care.
