Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding are unforgettable phases of life that affect a woman’s body in many ways. Often, these intense experiences leave behind changes that can impair body image—whether it is a sagging abdomen, drooping breasts, or stubborn fat deposits that do not disappear despite exercise and a healthy diet. These changes are normal, but they can affect self-confidence and well-being.
A Mommy Makeover offers an individual solution to correct the effects of pregnancy and childbirth and bring the body image back into balance. Various plastic surgery procedures are combined, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction. Each procedure is tailored to your personal wishes and your anatomical conditions to achieve a harmonious and natural result.
In a detailed consultation with PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg, you will discuss your wishes and goals. On this basis, we will work together to develop an individual treatment plan.

I had a brow and upper eyelid lift performed by Dr. Rüegg at corrigé, and I am extremely satisfied with the result. The outcome looks very natural and precisely matches my expectations.
I would also like to particularly highlight the pleasant and courteous care provided by Dr. Rüegg and the practice assistants Ms. Müller and Ms. Osmonaj. I felt exceptionally well cared for and supported throughout the entire treatment process.
Overall, a very professional practice with high expertise and a friendly team. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rüegg and her entire practice team.

From the initial consultation, through support with external preliminary examinations, explanation of results and further procedures, the intervention under local anesthesia, to wound checks and the final consultation – excellent. The experience with PD Dr. Rüegg and her team was trustworthy, professional, and very pleasant (despite the unpleasant reason for the procedure). I also appreciated that the practice rooms are bright, well-maintained, without frills, and easily accessible by public transport or on foot. And as a surgeon, Dr. Rüegg combines knowledge, skill, experience, communication, and humor in a wonderful way.
I can recommend the corrigé practice with a clear conscience and without reservation.

A surgeon with the highest competence and professionalism. Without anything being visible, my facial issues were treated in such a way that I look significantly younger. Nobody notices that it was a procedure. I feel reborn. Many thanks also to the great team!

I had a breast reduction and lift performed by Dr. Rüegg and am extremely satisfied with the entire treatment, including consultation, preparation, execution, and especially with the beautiful result.
I had breasts that were too large, asymmetrical, and somewhat sagging due to two pregnancies, with a cup size of 75G. Dr. Rüegg advised me professionally, empathetically, and honestly. The surgery went smoothly, and the care before and after the operation by the entire team was extremely pleasant.
The pain in the first few days and occasionally in the first few weeks was relatively minor and very manageable with mild painkillers. All in all, I felt very well cared for by Dr. Rüegg and her team and am very grateful for the great result and the new sense of well-being.

A Mommy Makeover specifically combines several surgical procedures to correct physical changes after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The goal is to restore the original body image and achieve a harmonious silhouette. Different areas of the body are optimized in a single treatment process to achieve both aesthetic and functional improvements. An additional advantage: the procedures can be combined into a single operation, so that there is only one recovery phase.
The Mommy Makeover can include various procedures such as a breast lift or breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, and, if necessary, skin tightening. Each procedure is planned individually to meet the specific needs of the patient. Treatment is carried out using modern, gentle techniques to minimize scarring and shorten recovery time.
Typical problem areas treated during a Mommy Makeover are the abdomen, breasts, thighs, and back. If desired, facial features can also be optimized, for example through eye treatments or lipofilling. These procedures help to bring the physical appearance back into balance and strengthen self-confidence.
Before the procedure, we take the time for a detailed consultation in which we discuss your wishes, expectations, and health aspects. You will also receive important information on preparing for the operation and the necessary aftercare. We clarify all open questions to ensure that you feel comfortable and well-prepared.
The Mommy Makeover is performed under general anesthesia and takes between 4 and 5 hours, depending on the number and complexity of the procedures. As a rule, inpatient admission for 1 to 2 nights is required to monitor and ensure healing in the first hours after the operation. Each procedure is performed with the highest precision to achieve the best possible result.
After the procedure, you should expect a recovery phase of 4 to 6 weeks, during which you should take physical care of yourself. Sporting activities and strenuous tasks are also usually only possible again after 4 to 6 weeks. During the healing phase, you will receive all necessary instructions and will be checked regularly to ensure that the healing process is optimal.
The result of the Mommy Makeover is immediately visible, especially with the removal of excess fat and the tightening of skin and tissue. However, the final result only appears after a few months, when all swelling has subsided and the tissue has settled. The result is permanent as long as a stable lifestyle is maintained.
Let’s find out together how we can implement your wishes. Arrange a personal consultation with PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg today.
In the first conversation, we analyze your initial situation and discuss your wishes. We create an individual plan that focuses on your goals.
Together we discuss the detailed procedure of the operation, clarify all open questions, and ensure that you are optimally prepared for the procedure.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, usually in one session. We combine different procedures depending on which zones need to be treated.
Here we answer the most important questions about the Mommy Makeover.
The Mommy Makeover includes a series of procedures that take between 4 and 5 hours, depending on the scope and number of areas treated. The duration may be extended if several procedures are combined, such as a breast lift with a tummy tuck or liposuction. We plan the procedure carefully to ensure that it is performed both efficiently and safely.
Yes, a Mommy Makeover results in scars, but these are specifically placed in inconspicuous areas, e.g., along the lower abdomen above the pubic area, so that they can usually be well covered by clothing or swimwear. Modern surgical techniques ensure that the scars fade over time and become less visible. After the operation, we provide you with comprehensive instructions for scar care to optimize the healing process.
Most patients can return to their daily routine after 2-3 weeks. However, this depends on the type of procedure, the individual healing process, and the physical demands of your work. For physically strenuous activities or jobs that require a lot of movement, it is advisable to plan a longer break so as not to jeopardize the healing process.
The healing phase after a Mommy Makeover usually takes 6-9 months until the final result is visible. In the first weeks after the operation, you should take physical care of yourself and avoid strenuous activities. During this time, you will wear compression garments for 6 weeks to support healing. Sporting activities are only possible again after 4-6 weeks, depending on your individual healing process.
