Filler dissolution with hyaluronidase

Treatment information

  • Hyaluronidase is injected into the affected area, where it breaks down the hyaluronic acid molecules and thus dissolves the filler. This process allows the doctor to correct uneven distribution, overcorrection or other irregularities caused by previous filler injections. The effect of hyaluronidase is usually reversible and the body naturally breaks down the dissolved hyaluronic acid over time.
  • The treatment usually takes about 45 minutes
  • No downtime
  • Depending on the area, slight to moderate swelling may occur 2 to 3 days after treatment

  • Final result: visible immediately after treatment.

  • Local anesthesia
  • Pain level: Medium

from 350 CHF

To make an appointment, you can contact us by telephone on +41 61 265 25 70 or by e-mail at margarethenklinik@usb.ch. Alternatively, you can also use our online appointment booking tool.

Filler dissolution with hyaluronidase is a medical procedure used to dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers that have previously been injected into certain areas of the face.

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. In aesthetic medicine, hyaluronidase is used specifically to correct the undesirable effects of hyaluronic acid fillers.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP or vampire lifting) is the term used to describe injecting the skin with components of the patient's own blood to improve skin quality and reduce wrinkles.

Growth factors from platelets are responsible for the effect, which becomes visible after around three treatments. A lasting effect can be achieved with a maintenance treatment every three to six months.

Surgical face and neck lift (face/neck lift)

Treatment information

  • A facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to correct signs of ageing on the face and neck. During the procedure, excess skin is surgically removed, the underlying tissue is tightened and wrinkles are smoothed to achieve a younger and fresher appearance.

    This may also include tightening the muscles and redistributing fatty tissue if necessary. Facelifts are often combined with other procedures such as neck lifts, eyelid correction, forehead lifts or lipofilling to achieve a harmonious result. The operation requires a certain recovery period during which swelling and bruising will subside before the final result is visible. The facelift is the only procedure to tighten tissue effectively, permanently and sustainably.
  • Treatment time: 2 to 4 hours
  • Downtime: 1 to 2 weeks

  • 4 to 6 weeks
  • Final result after approx. 6 months

  • Local anesthesia or general anesthesia

from 8'500 CHF

To make an appointment, you can contact us by telephone on +41 61 265 25 70 or by e-mail at margarethenklinik@usb.ch. Alternatively, you can also use our online appointment booking tool.

This treatment makes it possible to lift the entire face, parts of it or the neck. The underlying soft tissue foundation is treated.

In addition to treatment with botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid fillers, surgical face and neck lifting is a third option: which measure is most suitable depends on your anatomy and what bothers you the most. A precise analysis of your wishes and a comparison with the possibilities of the individual methods is therefore necessary.

The drooping of the eyelids and the formation of so-called drooping eyelids result in a tired or sad facial expression. This can be corrected by removing the excess skin - with or without removing muscle parts. The shape of the eyes can also be modeled by changing the position of the corners of the eyes.

Regeneration with Nanofat / Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), needling

Treatment information

  • With Nanofat, there is no increase in volume, but rather a rejuvenating and regenerative effect. During transplantation, no fatty tissue is transferred, but only the
    only the components of the adipose tissue that are responsible for the regenerative effects.
  • The treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes
  • Downtime: 1 to 7 days

  • Needling with Morpheus8: This is the latest generation of microneedling and radio frequency (RF). This combination leads to increased tightening and skin renewal in the face or body area. A special handpiece is used to insert needles up to 7 millimetres into the skin. The needle tips emit a radiofrequency heat impulse. This enables lasting tightening from the inside and successfully minimizes sagging skin and wrinkles. It also stimulates the production of collagen and initiates the skin's natural repair processes.
  • The treatment usually lasts approx. 60 to 90 minutes
  • Downtime: 1 to 2 days reddened

  • Nanofat: After 7 days, definitely after 3 to 6 months
  • Needling: After the last session

  • Nanofat: local anesthesia
  • Needling: anesthetic cream

Nanofat: varies
Needling: 1 session 900 CHF (3 recommended)

  • The treatment usually takes about 1 hour
  • Downtime: 1 week

  • 2 weeks
  • Final result after approx. 6 months

  • Local anesthesia or general anesthesia

From CHF 2,000

A beautiful mouth is more than just beautiful lips. The distance of the lip from the nasal entrance (philtrum) and the visibility of the incisors when speaking and smiling are equally important features. A lengthening of the distance between the nose and lip is a typical sign of age and is also gender-specific (longer in men).

More recently, uncontrolled and too frequent lip injections with hyaluronic acid have also led to an elongation of the philtrum with barely visible teeth. With a lip lift, the distance between the nose and upper lip is permanently shortened. A lip lift makes more lip red visible without the need to insert foreign material. In addition, the incisors and thus the smile are shown to better advantage.

Surgical brow lift

Treatment information

  • Sometimes an upper eyelid lift alone is not sufficient to correct the excess skin on the lateral eyelid. If the eyebrows and forehead skin have sagged with age, particularly on the sides, a brow lift can improve the position of the brows. This problem can only be permanently corrected by surgery. There are different approaches to choose from. Depending on the location of the incision, there are direct, endoscopic or hidden approaches in the scalp.
  • The treatment usually takes about 45 minutes
  • Downtime: 10 days

  • after 4 to 6 weeks

  • Local anesthesia or general anesthesia

From CHF 2,000

Facial feminization refers to several partial procedures from the spectrum of facial surgery that are performed with the intention of making a face more feminine. Depending on the initial situation, a single operation or a package of several procedures may be recommended to achieve an individual goal.

Typical facial features for feminization are the hairline, forehead and brow bones, nose, upper lip and lower jaw. If the procedures are carried out as part of a gender dysphoria, you can apply to your health insurance provider to have the costs covered.

For an initial consultation on facial feminization surgery (FFS) or gender reassignment surgery, please contact the Gender Variance Innovation Focus team at geschlechtervarianz@usb.ch or +49 61 328 46 90.
