I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rüegg and her entire team. If you are looking for a professional practice with high medical standards and compassionate care, this is the right place.
A double chin can disrupt the overall appearance of the face and convey an impression of fatigue or sluggishness. Targeted treatment to remove a double chin can not only contour the chin but also refine the entire facial profile for a more natural, youthful radiance.
PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg offers various treatment methods that are individually tailored to your needs. Depending on the extent of the double chin and, in particular, the elasticity and firmness of the skin, liposuction alone can lead to a convincing result. If the skin is less elastic, additional tightening—for example, in the form of a facelift—may be necessary to achieve a clearly defined profile.
Treatment is usually performed on an outpatient basis with minimal effort, using modern and gentle techniques to enable a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. Whether through targeted liposuction or combined procedures, Dr. Rüegg works with the highest precision to achieve a clearly defined and optimally contoured chin area.

Dr. Rüegg analyzes your goals as well as your chin and skin structure to select the optimal treatment method. This ensures that your personal wishes can be achieved as effectively as possible.
Whether liposuction or combined procedures: through the use of state-of-the-art techniques and targeted tightening procedures, the result is natural and precise.
The treatment is performed with the minimum necessary incisions and under local anesthesia or sedation. This keeps the procedure minimally invasive and usually requires only short recovery times.
Having a double chin removed leads to a permanently firmer and more clearly contoured chin area. With appropriate aftercare, the result remains visible in the long term.
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.

The removal of a double chin is usually performed through liposuction or a combination of targeted surgical fat reduction and tightening. These procedures aim to remove excess fat while simultaneously tightening the skin to achieve the desired, defined chin.
Gentle liposuction is used for fat removal, where the fatty tissue is precisely loosened and suctioned out. The surrounding structures are protected as much as possible. If the skin is less elastic, a tightening procedure can be performed additionally to achieve a defined contour and a smoother appearance.
The double chin is located directly under the chin and is primarily treated in this area. If necessary, the upper neck and the lower jaw zone can also be included to further define the profile. A lack of chin projection can—if necessary—be additionally balanced with fillers. In rare cases, jaw surgery for bone correction may be useful for a significantly under-projected chin or lower jaw; however, this only affects a few patients.
Liposuction is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation. Tightening is performed using a neck lift technique with well-hidden incisions under the chin and/or around or behind the ear. The underlying tissue is also tightened to define the chin more clearly. This allows for a long-term result.
After the treatment, slight swelling and bruising may occur, which usually subside after a few days. A support bandage is worn for about ten days to stabilize the new contour. Full healing takes around 3–4 weeks, and the final result is visible after about three months.
The result is a firmer and better-defined chin area that harmonizes the entire profile and makes the face appear more youthful, slimmer, and more dynamic. The skin appears smoother and firmer, without the unpleasant double chin.
Double chin removal is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Rüegg. Precise planning, modern techniques, and careful aftercare enable a safe result.
