12 Best Plastic Surgeons in Vienna

Vienna's plastic surgery practices cluster around the Graben and Stephansplatz, with others in Hietzing, Döbling, Penzing and the inner districts. Most are private practices that operate in their own theatres, in day-surgery units or in private hospitals, and many also offer injectables and lasers.

This guide lists surgeons whose own websites describe their qualifications and procedures. For each one we note the specialist title where it is stated, the main operations, where surgery takes place when the site says so and how consultations work. Austrian law sets a two-week gap between consultation and consent for cosmetic surgery, so plan ahead.

How to choose Plastic Surgeons in Vienna

  2. Ask where you will be operatedSurgery may take place in the practice, a day clinic or a private hospital. Ask who provides anaesthesia, whether you can stay overnight and how complications after hours are handled.
  3. Plan around the waiting periodAustrian law requires at least two weeks between the full consultation and your consent to a cosmetic operation. Book the first appointment early if you have a date in mind.
  4. Get an all-inclusive quoteAsk for a written price that covers surgeon, anaesthesia, clinic, implants, garments and follow-up visits, and ask how revisions are handled if a result needs correcting.

Frequently asked questions

How much does cosmetic surgery cost in Vienna?

It varies. The price depends on the procedure, the surgeon, the type of anaesthesia, the clinic and any overnight stay, implants and aftercare. Some surgeons charge for the first consultation, so ask what it costs and request a written, all-inclusive quote before deciding.

Is there a waiting period before cosmetic surgery in Austria?

Yes. The law on aesthetic treatments and operations requires at least two weeks between the full medical consultation and the patient's consent. Purely cosmetic operations on under-16s are not allowed, and 16 and 17-year-olds need parental consent and additional counselling.

Does health insurance pay for plastic surgery?

Purely cosmetic operations are paid privately. Reconstructive or medically necessary procedures, such as breast reconstruction after cancer or a breast reduction for physical complaints, may be covered after approval by your insurer, so ask the surgeon for the paperwork before you book.
