Natural volume through modern autologous fat transfer (Fat Grafting).
Lipofilling uses the body’s own fat tissue to restore volume, sculpt contours, and smooth fine lines in the face. The method offers a natural, well-tolerated alternative to synthetic fillers – with a lasting effect. Lipofilling is particularly effective in areas such as the tear trough, where autologous fat integrates very harmoniously and can be ideally combined with an eyelid lift.
During a personal consultation, PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg analyzes your anatomical conditions and clarifies which regions are particularly suitable for fat harvesting and which for treatment. The technique is individually tailored to your wishes and desired outcome.
The procedure is gentle: fat is harvested using fine cannulas, processed, and then injected with high precision into the desired region. The combination of autologous tissue and modern technology ensures very natural results.
Since only autologous material is used, tolerability is particularly high. Dr. Rüegg personally accompanies you from planning and execution to follow-up – with a commitment to aesthetic harmony and natural 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.

Lipofilling involves harvesting the body’s own fat tissue, purifying it, and reinjecting it into the face to restore volume. The result appears particularly natural and integrates harmoniously into the tissue – especially in areas such as the cheeks, lips, eye region, and tear trough.
Suitable donor sites are usually the abdomen, hips, or thighs. The fat is gently harvested using fine cannulas, preserving the tissue.
The harvested fat is purified and prepared so that only high-quality, stable fat cells are used for re-implantation.
The fat is precisely injected in fine layers into the desired facial regions, such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, or tear trough. This technique enables an even, lasting result and a natural radiance.
In the face, lipofilling is particularly suitable for treating the tear trough, emphasizing the cheeks, subtle lip modeling, compensating for volume loss, and gently refining contours. Other body regions can also be treated for volume enhancement, shaping, or correcting minor asymmetries.
A portion of the transplanted fat integrates permanently. This portion ensures long-lasting results without synthetic fillers.
The quality of the result heavily depends on the technique and expertise. Precise planning and controlled injection are crucial for an even, aesthetic shape.
Natural results from our practice.
Lipofilling can harmonize contours, restore volume, and gently optimize your silhouette. We offer individual and non-binding consultations.
Discussion of the desired region, assessment of possible donor sites, and definition of the target outcome.
Gentle fat harvesting using fine cannulas, followed by purification and sterile preparation of the autologous fat.
Precise injection in small layers for the highest possible integration rates. Socially presentable after 1–2 weeks.
A lipofilling procedure typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the extent of the treatment and possible combinations with other procedures such as a facelift or eyelid lift. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or twilight sleep; for larger treatments or combinations, general anesthesia may also be appropriate.
The body’s own fat is harvested through gentle liposuction – usually from the thighs, knee area, or abdomen. It is then processed and injected into targeted facial areas such as the cheeks, lips, or eye region to compensate for volume loss and harmonize contours.
Breast augmentation with autologous fat is also possible. You can find out more about this here.
After a lipofilling, only very small scars are to be expected at the donor sites, usually on the thighs, knee region, or abdomen. These fine skin incisions are placed in natural skin folds and become almost invisible over time. The injection of autologous fat into the face or lips is performed using thin cannulas, so visible scars generally do not occur. Only small puncture marks remain, which heal quickly.
Consistent aftercare and careful skin care support healing and help to optimally maintain the aesthetic result.
After a lipofilling, only a short recovery period is usually required. In the first few days, swelling or bruising may occur in the treated and donor areas, but these usually subside quickly. Those who perform non-physically demanding work can often return to work after just a few days.
For more extensive corrections and physically demanding professions, such as in nursing, crafts, or sports, a longer break may be necessary – depending on the individual healing process. During this time, intense sports, heavy lifting, and direct sun exposure to the treated areas should be avoided.
Yes, absolutely! A major advantage of lipofilling is that the transplanted autologous fat integrates permanently into the body’s own tissue. It is not overcorrected – the correction is performed within the limits allowed by the anatomical conditions. However, initial swelling may temporarily create the impression of overcorrection. In the following weeks, the swelling subsides, and a small portion of the injected fat is reabsorbed by the body. The remaining fat remains stable and provides a natural, soft result that harmoniously blends into the existing structures.
The cost for a lipofilling starts from CHF 3,800. The exact price depends on the scope of treatment, the desired region, and a possible combination with other procedures. The amount of autologous fat required can also influence the cost.
You will receive a binding cost estimate during a personal consultation with PD Dr. med. Eva M. Rüegg, where your wishes, medical possibilities, and the ideal treatment path will be discussed individually.
As this is an aesthetic procedure, the costs are generally not covered by health insurance. Our practice places great importance on a clear, transparent pricing structure without hidden additional costs.
