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.
As part of the aging process, facial skin loses elasticity and firmness. This often manifests as wrinkles, sagging cheeks, a less defined jawline, or a double chin; the neck, forehead, and eye area can also show signs of laxity. A facelift can help refine facial contours and revitalize your natural radiance.
A facelift rejuvenates the face by tightening the skin and repositioning deeper tissue layers to their original location. The goal is to improve facial contours and create a fresh, natural appearance.
PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg analyzes your facial structure and selects the facelift technique individually tailored to you. Whether it’s a classic facelift or a targeted mini-lift, the procedure is precisely adapted to your needs. Depending on the initial situation, a facelift can also be combined with supplementary procedures such as eyelid surgery, lipofilling, an upper lip lift, or a chemical peel.
Through precise surgery and the use of modern techniques, Dr. Rüegg ensures a result that enhances your natural radiance and preserves the authentic expression of your face.
A facelift at corrigé means not only aesthetic change but also an improvement in quality of life – for a younger, more vital appearance that suits you.

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 facelift tightens the skin and deeper tissue layers to rejuvenate the face. It addresses not only the skin but also the underlying SMAS (subcutaneous musculo-aponeurotic system), a deep connective tissue layer, leading to a natural and long-lasting effect.
The deep plane technique lifts the lower face – particularly jowls, jawline, chin area, and neck – through incisions in front of and behind the ear, also repositioning the SMAS tissue. The mini-lift is a less extensive correction focused on specific affected areas. If necessary, a focused neck lift can be supplemented via a small incision under the chin to further enhance midline correction.
Typical treatment areas include the cheek region, chin, and neck. Sagging cheeks can be lifted, the jawline more clearly defined, and the neck tightened to achieve an overall rejuvenated and balanced profile.
The facelift is performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia and takes approximately 4-6 hours. Not only the skin but also the deeper tissue is tightened to achieve a permanently fresh and firm result.
After the operation, mild swelling and bruising are to be expected, which will subside within the first few days. Complete healing and the final result will be visible after 3–6 months.
The result is a visible rejuvenation of the face with firmer contours, reduced wrinkles, and an overall fresher appearance.
Facelift is a safe procedure when performed by experienced surgeons. At Dr. Rüegg’s practice, every step is carried out with the utmost precision to achieve natural and long-lasting results.
Natural results from our practice.
A facelift can not only rejuvenate your appearance but also improve your quality of life. Schedule your no-obligation consultation with PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg today.
Dr. Rüegg conducts a detailed consultation and analysis of the facial structure. Together, the most suitable treatment and any supplementary procedures are determined to achieve the desired result.
The facelift is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on the technique used, the skin and deeper tissue layers – including the SMAS – are lifted and repositioned to improve the contours of the cheeks, chin, and neck. The procedure typically lasts 4–6 hours. After the operation, close monitoring takes place in the clinic.
After the operation, mild swelling and hematomas are normal and subside within the first few days. Careful aftercare helps to secure the result. Most patients are socially presentable again after 2-4 weeks, and the final result is visible after 3-6 months.
A facelift may be considered if your skin’s elasticity has significantly decreased, you feel visually older than you perceive yourself internally, or if facial contours such as cheeks and chin lose their definition. The procedure can also be beneficial after significant weight loss, due to genetic predisposition, and with diminishing skin elasticity leading to sagging in the face or neck.
A classic facelift always tightens the deeper tissue layers (SMAS) and removes excess skin. Depending on the extent of sagging, the neck and temple areas can also be treated.
A mini-lift is a less comprehensive variant of the facelift. It primarily tightens the cheek area. It is often ideal for younger patients or those with initial signs of skin laxity. Here too, we treat the SMAS, but to a reduced extent.
Both procedures pursue the same goal: a rejuvenated, fresh, and natural-looking appearance.
A healthy lifestyle, abstinence from nicotine, adequate sun protection, and stable, normal weight values support the success of the treatment. We would be happy to advise you in detail on-site to ensure optimal preparation for your procedure.
A facelift typically lasts 7–15 years, depending on genetics, skin structure, and lifestyle. The natural rejuvenation of the face can be maintained longer through supplementary treatments such as fillers (hyaluronic acid), chemical peels, or lipofilling.
The costs for a facelift vary depending on the method, scope of the procedure, and combination treatments. During a personal consultation, we will create an individual treatment plan and a cost estimate for you.
