The 12 Best Plastic Surgeons in Frankfurt

Most of Frankfurt's plastic surgery practices are in the city centre around Goethestraße, the Alte Oper and Zeil, and many operate in a private partner clinic rather than in their own rooms. In Germany any licensed doctor may call themselves a cosmetic surgeon, so the protected title to look for is Facharzt für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie.

This guide lists practices whose websites name the surgeons who operate. For each one we note the procedures they focus on, where operations take place, the consultation fee where stated and whether the team works in English.

How to choose Plastic Surgeons in Frankfurt am Main

  1. Check the specialist titleCosmetic surgeon is not a protected title in Germany. Look for Facharzt für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie on the team page, and ask who will actually perform your operation.
  2. Ask where the operation happensMany Frankfurt surgeons operate in a private partner clinic. Ask which clinic, who provides the anaesthesia and whether an overnight stay is planned.
  3. Get a written cost estimateAesthetic surgery is self-pay and billed under the GOÄ fee schedule. The estimate should cover surgeon, anaesthesia, clinic, implants or garments and follow-up visits.
  4. See results in personBefore-and-after photos of cosmetic operations may not be used in advertising in Germany. Ask to see anonymised examples during the consultation, and leave time to decide.

Frequently asked questions

How much does cosmetic surgery cost in Frankfurt?

Prices vary with the procedure, the length of the operation, anaesthesia, the clinic and any overnight stay. Surgeons bill under the GOÄ fee schedule and should give you a written estimate after the consultation. Some practices charge for the first consultation, and several offer financing in monthly instalments.

Does health insurance pay for plastic surgery?

Purely aesthetic operations are self-pay. Statutory or private insurers may contribute when there is a medical reason, such as a breast reduction for back problems, reconstruction or advanced lipoedema, but approval has to be requested before surgery.

How long should visitors stay in Frankfurt after surgery?

It depends on the procedure. Eyelid surgery needs less time than breast or body surgery, which usually involves several follow-up checks in the first weeks, so ask the surgeon for the follow-up schedule before booking your travel.
