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.
Discreetly beautiful ears. Natural shape. Renewed self-confidence.
Protruding or deformed ears can unbalance the face and affect one’s well-being. Ear correction (otoplasty) restores the natural shape and position of the ears – for a more harmonious overall appearance and increased self-confidence.
PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg performs ear corrections using a particularly natural technique via the back of the ear, without introducing any foreign material. The scars remain invisible, and the result is permanent and natural-looking.
The procedure is suitable for both adults and children, provided that ear growth is largely complete – typically from around 10 to 11 years of age. It is crucial that the desire for correction originates from the child themselves, so that they actively participate in the treatment and necessary aftercare. Enlarged earlobes or torn earlobes can also be precisely reconstructed.
The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or twilight sleep. Thanks to local anesthesia, the procedure is not painful, and the aesthetic result is visible immediately after treatment.

Dr. Rüegg takes the time for a detailed discussion and a precise analysis of the ear structure. Wishes and aesthetic goals are defined together based on anatomical conditions.
The incision is made via the back of the ear. This ensures that scars are not visible from the outside, and the result appears completely natural.
The surgical technique does not require internal sutures. This eliminates typical problems such as string formation, infections, or the ears protruding again.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia or twilight sleep. The recovery time is short, and most patients are socially presentable again after 1 - 2 weeks.
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.

Ear correction (otoplasty) optimizes the shape, size, or position of the ears to create a harmonious, natural overall appearance. Precise modeling of the ear cartilage allows for a lasting improvement in ear shape.
The procedure is performed via the back of the ear, so scars remain invisible. The ear cartilage is remodeled without the use of internal sutures to ensure stability and a long-lasting result.
Protruding ears, asymmetrical shapes, deformed ears, as well as enlarged or torn earlobes are corrected. Enlarged ear piercings can also be reconstructed to achieve an aesthetically balanced appearance.
Before ear correction, a comprehensive consultation takes place. Your health status is assessed, and your wishes as well as possible alternatives are discussed. The exact aftercare is also explained. For procedures involving twilight sleep, the anesthesiologist will conduct a preliminary discussion.
Ear correction typically takes between 1 and 2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis. The treatment is carried out either under local anesthesia or twilight sleep, depending on individual preference. You can go home immediately after the procedure.
The healing phase is uncomplicated, with slight swelling and pressure sensations being normal in the first few days. A headband is worn for a total of eight weeks – initially day and night for four weeks, then only at night for another four weeks. Swelling subsides in the first few weeks, and the final result becomes apparent after approximately 3–6 months.
The result is immediately visible, but it takes a few weeks for all swelling to subside. Ear correction provides a permanent, harmonious result that typically lasts a lifetime.
Natural results from our practice.
Ear correction can harmonize your proportions and sustainably boost your self-confidence. Dr. Rüegg will be happy to advise you personally and empathetically on the suitable options.
Initially, you will discuss your wishes and expectations with Dr. Rüegg. After a precise examination of the ear shape and cartilage, an individual treatment plan will be created, and all important information regarding preparation and aftercare will be provided.
Ear correction is performed under local anesthesia or twilight sleep. The cartilage is gently reshaped via the back of the ear, and the ear position is optimized. The operation takes 1–2 hours. Afterwards, you can go home with a small dressing.
Slight swelling occurs in the first few days. A headband is worn for a total of eight weeks – the first four weeks day and night, followed by four weeks only at night – to stabilize the result. Regular check-ups ensure the healing process. You are usually socially presentable again after one to two weeks.
Here we answer the most important questions about ear correction.
Ear correction is ideal for individuals suffering from protruding, asymmetrical, or deformed ears. It is also suitable for patients with torn or enlarged earlobes. This procedure can be performed on both adults and children, as it is effective even at a young age to harmonize the appearance of the ears.
The procedure is generally painless. It is performed under local anesthesia or twilight sleep, so you will not experience any pain during the treatment. After the procedure, a slight pressure on the ears may occur, but this quickly subsides. The use of high-quality anesthetics and a pleasant atmosphere during the operation ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible for you.
Healing after ear correction is usually rapid and uncomplicated. After about 1-2 weeks, most patients are socially presentable, as external swelling and bruising quickly subside. For the first four weeks after the procedure, you must wear a special headband that protects the ears and helps stabilize the new shape. The final result becomes apparent after 3–6 months, once all swelling has subsided and the ears are fully healed.
The result of ear correction is permanent. The ear cartilage is brought into its new shape by the procedure, and the ears generally remain stable. A recurrence of protruding ears is very rare, so you can expect a natural, long-lasting result. Since no internal sutures are used in the treatment, fewer complications arise, and the result remains stable.
At corrigé, you receive individually tailored treatment that is customized to your needs and wishes. PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg is an experienced specialist who performs the procedure with the highest precision and avoids the use of internal sutures.

Your treatment takes place in a safe and professional environment, and you receive comprehensive aftercare to ensure the best possible outcome.
