Frequently Asked Questions

About aesthetical treatments and their answers


Does a consultation take place before every treatment? What is discussed there?

The consultation before a treatment is important to get to know you. Only the personal exchange enables an analysis of your needs, wishes and expectations. During the consultation, we inform you about the type of procedure, the process and the risks. It also gives you the opportunity to clarify all open questions before we determine the best course of treatment together.


Is liposuction a low-risk operation?

As with any operation, the surgeon first carries out a detailed consultation and physical examination. Therewith all reasons that speak against a safe liposuction are excluded before the operation.
In general, liposuction is considered a very safe procedure with a very low complication rate.
This is due not only to the experience of the surgeon but also to the nature of the procedure, which does not involve cutting but only suction.


How do I find a suitable surgeon for liposuction?

If you search for “liposuction Bern” or “liposuction in Switzerland” on the Internet, you will very easily get a list of surgeons in your area.

It is always advisable to invest some time and effort in finding a suitable surgeon. The surgeon should be a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery and credibly have a wealth of experience in this field. The choice of a plastic surgeon is of course also a personal decision and it is very important to get on well with the surgeon in order to feel safe.


How long does it take to recover from liposuction?

The recovery time varies from patient to patient, of course. Usually, after a few days, daily activities can be resumed without any problems.

By following all post-operative guidelines, the patient can avoid complications (for example, swelling) and the recovery time can be minimised.


Will I be in pain after the procedure?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure, you will experience some swelling, pain and mild discomfort for the first few days after the procedure. This discomfort usually subsides quickly and is easily treated.


How long does a facelift last?

As a rule, the result of a facelift performed in our practice lasts at least up to 10 years and can be repeated two to three times.


How often can wrinkle treatments with hyaluronic acid or Botulinumtoxin be repeated?

The effect of a Botulinumtoxin or hyaluronic treatment lasts between six and 12 months. After the effect has worn off, you can repeat the treatment as often as you like.


How do I choose the right implant size for me (for breast augmentation)?

The choice of implant size depends primarily on the needs of the patient. In addition to the size, we will jointly choose the shape and width of the silicone implants to match your body contours. We are happy to advise you in detail during our first meeting.


When can I go back to work after the operation?

This is different for every patient and depends not only on your physical constitution but also on the method of the operation. We have included this piece of information on our surgical treatment pages. However, it is perfectly natural that you need a longer rest period after a major operation than after a Botulinumtoxin injection, for example. In general, we always try to make the recovery period as short and uncomplicated as possible for you.


Will health insurance cover the costs of my treatment?

As a rule, health insurance companies do not cover the costs of aesthetic surgical surgery. Only if there is a medical necessity for the treatment is it possible to submit an application to the health insurance company to have the costs covered.
