Breast Surgery (Augmentation, Reduction & Lift)

The Plastic Surgery Department at Schön Klinik Hamburg Eilbek offers the full range of breast surgery: augmentation with implants or autologous fat transfer, reduction, lift and gynecomastia correction for men. Post-cancer breast reconstruction using implants or microsurgical autologous tissue is a core specialism. All procedures are performed by plastic surgery specialists and benefit from the hospital's full interdisciplinary infrastructure.

Schön Klinik Hamburg Eilbek's Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, established in January 2023, offers a comprehensive programme of breast surgery within one of Hamburg's largest hospital settings. Breast augmentation is available using silicone implants or autologous fat transfer (lipofilling), where fat harvested from the patient's own body is used to create a natural-looking volume increase without foreign material. Breast reduction — Brustverkleinerung — addresses both aesthetic concerns and physical discomfort caused by disproportionately large breasts, reshaping and repositioning the breast tissue and areola. Breast lift — Bruststraffung — tightens and elevates ptotic breast tissue following weight loss, pregnancy or ageing, often combined with augmentation or reduction for a comprehensive reshaping. The department also performs gynecomastia correction for men seeking reduction of excess glandular or fatty breast tissue, whether cosmetic or related to hormonal changes. A major specialism is post-oncological breast reconstruction for patients following mastectomy due to breast cancer, using implants, tissue expanders, or microsurgical autologous flap techniques that transfer tissue from the abdomen or back to rebuild the breast — a service that benefits directly from Schön Klinik's interdisciplinary oncology, physiotherapy and adiposity medicine teams operating within the same hospital. Located in the Eilbek district and part of the Schön Klinik group — one of Germany's leading private hospital networks — the department operates under lead physician Daniel Fuge, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery, supported by senior physician Dr. Cordula Scheibe. Aesthetic breast procedures are self-pay; some reconstructive procedures may be covered by statutory (GKV) or private (PKV) health insurance.
