Naturally beautiful and firm – for a feminine silhouette.
A loss of breast firmness and volume due to pregnancy, weight changes, or the natural aging process can affect self-confidence.
A breast lift (mastopexy) helps to reshape the breast, remove excess skin, and tighten the breast tissue. The goal is to achieve a more youthful, harmonious breast shape while maintaining a natural appearance.
PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg offers individually tailored breast lifts designed to meet your wishes and body anatomy. Whether a lift alone or in combination with breast augmentation – the procedure ensures natural and aesthetically pleasing results.
A breast lift is primarily suitable for women who are satisfied with their breast volume but wish to correct a sagging shape. If additional fullness is desired, the lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants or autologous fat. These options are discussed in detail during a personal consultation and planned individually according to your wishes and anatomy.

The lift raises the breast and gives it a natural-looking, harmonious contour – tailored to your existing breast and silhouette.
Modern mastopexy techniques ensure an aesthetic breast shape that fits your body perfectly.
Procedures are performed as gently as possible, with inconspicuous incisions and well-managed pain. Consequently, healing is usually pleasant and scars remain discreet.
A lift provides a long-term improvement in breast shape. How stable the result remains depends on individual tissue quality. However, even without implants, a significant and lasting enhancement of the contour remains.
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 breast lift is a procedure aimed at tightening and reshaping the breast tissue, removing excess skin, and repositioning the nipples. The goal is a natural-looking, rounder, and more youthful breast shape that restores fullness and aesthetic harmony. The procedure not only improves the shape but also ensures a pleasant, refreshed appearance.
The breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about 2 hours. During this process, excess skin is removed, the breast is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned. In rare cases, an additional incision in the inframammary fold is required to optimize the shape (T-incision).
A breast lift changes the shape of the breast, but not its naturally existing volume. The breast is lifted and reshaped, making it appear rounder and more youthful.
If additional fullness or a more pronounced shape is desired, the procedure can be combined with breast augmentation using silicone implants or autologous fat. The correction of asymmetries is also possible during the same procedure.
Before the breast lift, a detailed consultation and examination take place, during which Dr. Rüegg discusses your wishes and determines the appropriate approach. On the day of surgery, the incision lines are precisely marked directly on the body – therefore, the skin should not be moisturized beforehand and dark underwear should be worn.
For optimal healing, it is advised to refrain from nicotine for several weeks before the procedure and to continue or pause certain blood-thinning medications only after medical consultation. You will also receive all important information regarding aftercare and the healing process so that you are well-prepared for the procedure.
The breast lift takes about two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the breast is lifted and reshaped; if necessary, a resorbable mesh can be used to support the shape in the long term.
If additional volume is desired, the lift can be combined with breast augmentation using silicone implants or autologous fat. Existing asymmetries can also be harmoniously balanced during the same procedure.
After the surgery, you will wear a special supportive bra for about six weeks. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis or involve an overnight stay at the clinic.
Healing usually takes 1–2 weeks, during which you should take time off work. Physical activities must be avoided for about 4–6 weeks. The final result is visible after 6 to 9 months, once all swelling has subsided.
After healing, a firmer, rounder, and more youthful breast shape is revealed. Scars fade over time and usually become inconspicuous. How stable the result remains in the long term also depends on individual tissue firmness, but it generally remains natural and harmonious.

Schedule a personal consultation with PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg now to clarify all questions regarding breast lifts and to create an individual treatment plan.
In a personal conversation, Dr. Rüegg discusses your wishes and examines the breast shape and tissue quality. The suitable lifting method, as well as possible additional options such as implants, autologous fat, or a supportive mesh, are carefully explained.
The breast lift is performed under general anesthesia and takes about two hours. Excess skin is removed, the breast is reshaped, and the nipple is harmoniously lifted. If desired, the lift can be combined with breast augmentation or the correction of asymmetries. A fine, resorbable mesh can optionally be used for additional shape stabilization.
After the procedure, you will wear a supportive bra for about six weeks. Pain can be well-controlled with medication, and light activities are possible again after a few days. Sports should be paused for 4–6 weeks. Regular follow-up checks accompany the healing process and provide you with the most important steps at the right time.
Here we answer the most important questions regarding breast lifts.
A breast lift at our clinic in Lucerne is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about two hours. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, the breast is lifted, and the existing tissue is reshaped to create a more harmonious, rounder, and more youthful breast shape. The nipple is moved to a natural, higher position and the areola is reduced in size if necessary.
The breast tissue is preserved but specifically modeled so that the breast feels firmer again and gains a beautiful, balanced contour. If additional fullness is desired, the lift can be combined with breast augmentation – either with silicone implants or with autologous fat. In certain cases, a fine mesh can be used to optimally support the shape in the long term.
Scars usually remain after a breast lift, but they generally heal well and fade over time. The scars typically run around the areola and vertically down to the breast fold. In rare cases, an additional scar in the inframammary fold may be necessary, especially if a larger lift is required.
After a breast lift, you should refrain from your professional activities for about 1 to 2 weeks, especially if your work involves physical exertion. For patients who do not perform heavy physical labor, returning to work can occur as early as after one week.
If your activity requires intensive use of the arms or back, such as in the nursing sector or manual trades, you should expect a recovery time of 3 to 4 weeks. The first few weeks after the procedure are crucial to avoid jeopardizing the healing process and to optimally maintain your breast shape.
The volume and breast shape achieved through a breast lift in Lucerne are maintained in the long term. Part of the breast tissue is reshaped, and excess skin is removed to give the breast a firmer, more youthful shape.
In cases where implants are additionally used, the volume can be permanently maintained. If no implant is used, the natural tissue adapts after the procedure – how stable the result remains over the years also depends on individual tissue quality. However, even without implants, a significant and lasting enhancement of the contour remains.
One advantage of a breast lift is that it not only adjusts the volume of the breast but also optimizes the firmness of the breast tissue and the skin. This ensures that your breast shape is permanently maintained even with natural breast tissue.
The costs for a breast lift start at CHF 12,500. If implants are additionally used, the price starts at CHF 18,200. The final costs depend on the individual surgical effort – influenced, among other things, by breast size, the chosen procedure (with or without mesh), a possible combination with breast augmentation, and the correction of asymmetries.
We will provide you with a personal cost estimate tailored to your specific needs and wishes. Treatment costs can be discussed during a personal consultation, where we will answer all your questions about treatment options and breast surgery.
