Breast augmentation is expensive: between €5,000 and €9,000. An operation reimbursed only in the event of reconstructive surgery.
Aesthetic reasons do not fall within the reimbursement criteria. Even with good mutual insurance, only breast implants or prostheses in the context of a pathology are reimbursed. The placement of breast implants must also be carried out in a health establishment approved by Health Insurance. It is possible to have breast augmentation abroad, often cheaper. Even after reimbursement from Social Security, the remaining costs remain very high: unreimbursed medicines, excess fees, hospitalization costs, etc. The only solution is to subscribe to a good mutual fund with a high coverage rate. We recommend a mutual fund at 300%, even 400%! It is necessary to be referred by a doctor. First, your doctor will prescribe a medical prescription for you to carry out the consultation. Then, the surgeon sends a request for prior agreement to your CPAM (Primary Health Insurance Fund) It is only after the approval of the Social Security medical officer that you can be reimbursed for breast augmentation.
