13 Best Plastic Surgeons in Hamburg

In Germany any licensed doctor may call themselves a cosmetic surgeon, because Schönheitschirurg is not a protected title. The protected title is Facharzt für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie, which takes six years of specialist training after medical school.

This guide lists Hamburg practices and clinics whose own websites describe their surgeons and procedures. For each one we note the stated qualifications, the main focus, from breasts to facelifts and noses, and where operations take place when the practice says so.

How this guide is ordered

Each of these plastic surgeons in Hamburg is placed according to its specialism, what reviewers say about it, whether its details are clear and complete, and where it sits in the city.

Frequently asked questions

How much does plastic surgery cost in Hamburg?

It varies with the procedure, the surgeon, the type of anaesthesia and whether you stay overnight. Surgeons bill under the GOÄ fee schedule, so ask for a written cost plan listing every item before agreeing to an operation.

Does health insurance pay for plastic surgery?

Purely cosmetic operations are paid privately. Insurers may cover reconstructive or medically necessary surgery, such as breast reconstruction after cancer, but usually only after an application has been approved before the operation.

What should I ask at the consultation?

Ask about the surgeon's title and experience with your procedure, where the operation takes place, who gives the anaesthetic, how aftercare works and what a revision would cost. Bring a list of your medicines and previous operations.
