A breast lift at Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria, helps restore a youthful shape to drooping or asymmetrical breasts. The procedure is performed by specialist surgeons in a modern facility known for its high safety standards and personal care. Patients benefit from the clinic's ISO 9001 certification and a medical team led by experienced university professors.
The clinic uses the attending physician system, allowing patients to choose their specific surgeon for the entire process. Univ. Prof. Dr. Michael Schintler and Univ. Prof. Dr. Stephan Spendel are specialists in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery. They perform mastopexy to address sagging caused by aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. Depending on the patient's anatomy, surgeons use periareolar, vertical, or anchor incision patterns. For those wanting more volume, the lift can be combined with augmentation using high-quality implants or the patient's own fat.
The procedure takes place under general anesthesia in one of three modern operating theaters. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 nights in a single or double room. The clinic provides 24-hour nursing care to help with early recovery. In-house physiotherapy is available to help patients start moving safely after surgery. For those needing extended recovery, the clinic is part of a group that includes an adjacent rehabilitation center in Laßnitzhöhe.
Leech Private Clinic operates with 44 beds, offering a quiet and private environment. Medical Director Prim. Dr. Bernhard Kügler oversees the plastic surgery department to maintain medical standards. The clinic supports international patients with visa assistance and language help through its parent group. Because every body is different, the surgical team provides an individual cost estimate only after an initial consultation. This meeting allows the surgeon to create a plan based on the patient's specific goals.

Privatklinik Leech, founded in 1973, is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, the capital of Styria in southern Austria. It belongs to SANLAS Holding, a Styrian healthcare group founded in 1980 that today runs twelve health facilities across rehabilitation, care, prevention, acute medicine and surgery. Leech works as a "Belegarzt" clinic: patients are treated by the specialist of their choice from a team of around 100 doctors, who use the clinic's operating theatres, nursing team and infrastructure. With 44 beds in single and double rooms, three operating theatres and a round-the-clock recovery unit, the clinic combines a broad surgical range with the comfort and personal atmosphere of a small private hospital in the heart of the city.
The clinic covers almost every surgical field apart from obstetrics, including:
Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is also available.
Several of the clinic's procedures address cancer, including breast-conserving operations for breast tumours, the treatment of eye tumours, and the removal of skin moles and tumours with subsequent pathological assessment. The clinic also offers gastroscopy and colonoscopy, internal medicine with cardiology, angiology and gastroenterology, neurology, dermatology and interventional pain therapy. On-site computed tomography and X-ray support fast and accurate diagnosis.
A dedicated day clinic allows many treatments to be carried out in a single day, without an overnight stay, including:
Every room is equipped with:
Wireless patient monitoring is available in every room for safety after an operation. Patients also have access to a cafeteria, a lounge and a quiet garden courtyard.
The clinic settles accounts directly with many statutory and all Austrian private insurers, as well as numerous foreign insurance providers. Self-paying patients from Austria and abroad receive an individual quotation in advance, so they can decide on treatment with full cost certainty. Patients who need rehabilitation afterwards can continue their recovery at the group's rehabilitation clinic in nearby Laßnitzhöhe.
