Program description:
Our service starts at the airport. Our employee meets you at the airport and holds a sign with your name. In the individual folder you will find detailed information about the medical program and the upcoming operation.
Day 1
On the first day, during the initial consultation, you will share with your doctor your expectations and what exactly you would like to change. Also, the doctor will ask you in detail about what diseases and operations you have undergone, what medications you are taking, whether there are any allergic reactions.
Based on the initial information and the case history study, the doctor will check for the obvious contraindications for the intervention. You will receive a detailed description of the operation, possible methods of its performing, as well as undergo laboratory and instrumental examinations.
The doctor uses a special computer program to simulate the shape and appearance of the breast after the procedure.
The duration of the appointment is no more than two hours, then you can go to the hotel and relax.
Plan 7-10 days off after the surgery, as you will need to limit physical activity after the procedure.
Day 2
Breast reduction surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and you will sleep throughout the whole intervention. Before the operation, the anesthesiologist conducts necessary examinations in order to select the anesthesia that will be most suitable for you.
The operation itself usually takes about 60-90 minutes. The choice of a specific surgical method depends on your individual anatomical features and wishes, as well as on the recommendations of the surgeon.
A 4-5 cm incision is made under the breast. The surgeon always tries to make it minimally noticeable. Usually, the postoperative scar becomes almost invisible over time.
Days 3-7
After the operation, you should stay under medical supervision for 24 hours. You are guaranteed to receive thorough postoperative supervision by qualified medical personnel.
In the first days after surgery, the mammary glands are somewhat painful due to the intervention performed. Therefore, normal mobility, especially of the upper body, is limited. Usually, the doctor prescribes pain medications during this period.
During the operation, absorbable suture material is used, so there is no need to remove sutures additionally.
Day 7
You visit the plastic surgeon. He conducts a final examination and gives you recommendations for further rehabilitation. After that, you can stay on vacation or go home.

About the department
The Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the ATOS Clinic Munich offers a full range of surgical procedures in its areas of specialization. The department's team of surgeons successfully performs plastic surgery of the face and body. Key attention is paid to breast augmentation, reduction, and lift, abdominoplasty, liposuction, arm and thigh lifts, facelift, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, and blepharoplasty. The therapeutic offer also includes a wide range of non-surgical rejuvenation procedures with a special emphasis on wrinkle correction with injections of autologous fat, fillers, and Botox. Plastic surgery is performed by highly qualified surgeons with extensive clinical experience. The department's operating rooms are equipped with the latest technology. Minimally traumatic techniques are used in the surgical procedures, leaving hardly noticeable scars. The plastic surgeon always discusses in detail with the patient all the nuances of the upcoming surgery in order to satisfy their wishes, while the specialists strive to achieve the most natural results of plastic surgery. In their daily work, the doctors of the department are guided by the recommendations of the German Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (DGPRÄC) and the European Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (ESPRAS). The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm-Mühlbauer.
The primary specialty of the department is breast augmentation, reduction, and lift surgery. Women usually come to the department for breast augmentation due to developmental abnormalities, significant weight loss, breastfeeding, or to correct age-related changes. If necessary, breast augmentation surgery can be complemented with nipple and areola lift and correction. The plastic surgeons of the department care about the women's satisfaction with the result of the operation and therefore the American 3D modeling technology Vectra XT is available here. The computer system processes images of the patient's mammary gland with high accuracy, providing the specialist with the necessary data to select an implant of the optimal shape and size. In addition, Vectra XT technology makes it possible to generate images of the mammary gland after plastic surgery, which is also an advantage for patients.
The plastic surgeons of the department have exceptional experience in breast plastic surgery, so women can count on the best results. At the same time, it is important for the specialists to provide women with an individual solution to the problem, taking into account their wishes and needs. The department performs breast augmentation with silicone implants and breast augmentation with autologous fat tissue. The second option is suitable for women who wish to achieve a slight breast augmentation with the most natural result. In such operations, the plastic surgeons of the department use the Body Jet WAL water liposuction technique to collect autologous fat tissue. Breast augmentation surgery takes 45-90 minutes and is performed under general or local anesthesia.
Facelift is another plastic surgery procedure that is very popular in the department. The procedure is designed to eliminate wrinkles, sagging skin, nasolabial folds, and other signs of aging. The department offers facelift procedures that help patients look younger. The plastic surgeons of the department have a perfect command of all modern facelift techniques, the most effective of which are SMAS lift, including endoscopic techniques, MACS lift, and deep facelift. Facelift is performed in the department on an inpatient basis, under general or local anesthesia (depending on the extent of the operation). The surgery takes 3-4 hours and the hospital stay is 1-2 days.
The department also offers eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty). Eyelid surgery corrects drooping eyelids and bags or dark circles under the eyes, making the patient look much younger. These surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The Head Physician of the department, Prof. Dr. med. Charlotte Holm-Mühlbauer, and other specialists on her team are the developers of an innovative surgical method of eyelid correction that preserves fatty tissue. Unlike the conventional method, which requires the removal of fatty tissue, this procedure prevents sunken eyes. All details and questions of interest to the patient are discussed during an individual consultation.
The department's range of medical services includes the following:
- Body plastic surgery
- Breast augmentation, reduction, and lift (with nipple and areola reconstruction if necessary)
- Gynecomastia surgery for men
- Abdominoplasty
- Liposuction
- Body contouring using innovative Body Jet EVO technology

About hospital
According to the medical magazine Focus, the ATOS Clinic Munich is one of the best medical facilities in Germany for shoulder and knee surgery, foot surgery, and hand surgery!
The clinic was opened in 2008, and in a relatively short period of time, has taken a leading position among the best medical complexes in Germany. The clinic diagnoses and treats the entire spectrum of diseases of the musculoskeletal system: pathologies of the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist joints, foot diseases, hand diseases, and spinal conditions. The clinic also offers the services of the Department of Plastic Surgery, whose specialists masterfully perform reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery on the face and body. The clinic offers a personalized approach to treatment, combining integrative therapy with advanced medical technologies. The goal of the specialists is to provide each patient with high-quality medical care that takes into account their needs and features.
The ATOS Clinic Munich has a team of highly competent doctors with extensive clinical experience in orthopedics and plastic surgery. Many specialists are ranked among the best doctors in Germany by renowned medical journals, including Focus magazine. The doctors devote sufficient time to individual consultations, during which they study the diagnostic results and determine the optimal treatment tactics for the patient. Surgery for orthopedic diseases is a last-line treatment and is prescribed only when conservative therapy fails. Prior to each plastic surgery procedure, the surgeons use innovative computer programs to simulate the patient's postoperative images, which allows for a preliminary assessment of the plastic surgery result and maximum patient satisfaction.
The clinic has the latest generation of diagnostic equipment for instrumental examinations: X-ray, sonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment involves highly effective conservative methods, including intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid and autologous plasma, physiotherapy, cryotherapy, heat therapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound therapy, etc. Surgery is performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Joint surgeries are most often performed endoscopically, and spinal surgeries are performed using microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques.
The specialists at the ATOS Clinic Munich are convinced that the success of treatment is influenced by the atmosphere in the medical facility, so here patients can relax as much as possible and focus on their health. The clinic has 40 beds: there are 23 standard single patient rooms, 13 single enhanced-comfort patient rooms, 2 luxury suites, and one double room, while the patient rooms are more reminiscent of a first-class hotel.
Based on the clinic's treatment success reports and patient reviews, the level of satisfaction with medical services here reaches 96%, which is a very high indicator that speaks for itself.
