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.
Drooping eyelid skin, hooded eyelids, or a heavy-looking upper eyelid can restrict the field of vision and lead to a tired, strained expression. Similarly, prominent eye bags, sagging lower eyelid skin, or hollows under the eyes can contribute to a perpetually exhausted appearance. An upper or lower eyelid lift opens up the gaze and brings new lightness to the entire eye area.
In a personal consultation, PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg analyzes your individual eyelid and skin situation and explains which corrections are sensible and possible. The procedure is precisely adapted to your anatomy to achieve a natural, harmonious result.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, using gentle techniques and fine incisions along the natural eyelid crease for the upper eyelid, or just below the lash line or internally for the lower eyelid. This typically ensures that scars remain inconspicuous and the recovery period is usually short.
From consultation to complete aftercare, Dr. Rüegg personally accompanies you – with extensive expertise in aesthetic eyelid surgery, precise execution, and a clear commitment to natural, aesthetically pleasing results.

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.

Depending on the findings, the incision technique and correction method differ. For the upper eyelid, correction is made in the natural eyelid crease; for the lower eyelid, depending on the situation, via a fine incision below the lash line or an internal approach for fat redistribution. The goal is always a natural, aesthetically pleasing result without visible overcorrection.
A good result is recognized by the fact that the expression remains unchanged – only fresher. Experience, restraint, and millimeter-precise planning are crucial, both for skin removal on the upper eyelid and for the sensitive modeling of the lower eyelid region.
The tightening not only makes the eyelid appear lighter: the lower eyelid, tear trough region, and transition to the cheek can also appear significantly smoother and rejuvenated. The entire eye region looks clearer, more open, and often significantly younger.
The effect of an upper or lower eyelid lift is long-lasting. Natural skin aging continues, but the eyelid remains permanently tighter than before. In rare cases, a re-tightening is possible if needed.
Upper and lower eyelid surgery requires high precision. The expertise of the treating specialist is central to safety, naturalness, and sustainable results.
Natural results from our practice.
An upper or lower eyelid lift can visibly rejuvenate your eye area and sustainably improve your appearance. For an individual assessment, we offer a personal and non-binding consultation.
Examination of the eyelid skin, eyelid crease, and eye area. Discussion of the suitable method and desired result.
Outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Removal of excess skin, gentle modeling of the eyelid area, and precise adaptation to the natural eyelid crease.
Suture removal after a few days, swelling reduction phase in the first week. The final result is visible after 3–6 months.
An eyelid lift can be beneficial if you suffer from sagging skin, hooded eyelids, eye bags, or a tired facial expression – even if you feel alert and vital. A restricted field of vision due to severely drooping upper eyelids can also be a reason for treatment. In a personal consultation, we clarify whether an upper eyelid lift, lower eyelid lift, or a combination of both procedures is suitable for you.
We perform both upper and lower eyelid lifts – depending on the findings and your wishes. The goal is to remove or reposition excess skin and/or fatty tissue. The procedures are performed with micro-fine incisions and state-of-the-art technology to achieve a natural result with minimal scarring.
Upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid lift) is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, while lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid lift) is mostly performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with twilight sleep. The procedure takes approximately 1–2 hours. Temporary swelling or bruising may occur after the operation. The eye area is diligently cooled, especially at the beginning. We remove the sutures after five to seven days. After that, your eye area is usually already significantly recovered.
Mild pain or a feeling of tension in the eyelids may occur after the procedure, but can be well controlled by cooling the eyelids. Many of our patients are surprised how quickly a natural and harmonious feeling for their own expression returns after the procedure.
After the procedure, cooling the eyelids is particularly important to minimize swelling. For dry or burning eyes, we recommend the regular application of moisturizing drops or ointments – these are available directly from us. Allow yourself sufficient rest during the first few days to support the healing process. Lymphatic drainage can also help reduce swelling more quickly. As soon as the initial healing phase is complete, you will receive detailed information from us on scar care.
The healing process is individual but mostly uncomplicated.
We accompany you with follow-up appointments and individual advice through every phase of your healing.
The costs depend on the scope of the procedure, the chosen treatment method, and your individual circumstances. We will provide a cost estimate during a personal consultation.
At corrigé, we combine the highest medical standards with a precise, individualized treatment concept.
