Aesthetic surgery is a medical specialty dedicated to improving the physical appearance of patients. It includes a wide range of procedures, from body contouring such as liposuction and breast augmentation, to facial procedures such as rhinoplasty or facelift.

Like any surgical procedure, these interventions carry risks and require careful consideration and a prior consultation with Dr Prevot at her Geneva practice or via teleconsultation, to ensure that your expectations are realistic and that the procedure is in your best interest.

Reconstructive surgery, also known as reconstructive plastic surgery, is a medical specialty aimed at correcting deformities and dysfunctions caused by trauma, disease, infection, tumors or congenital anomalies.

This type of surgery aims not only to improve physical appearance, but also to restore the function of affected body structures. In Switzerland, unlike aesthetic surgery, reconstructive surgery is often covered by health insurance, subject to certain conditions.

Dermatologic surgery is a subspecialty of dermatology focused on surgical procedures of the skin. It treats a wide range of conditions, from skin cancers such as melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, to aesthetic or functional concerns such as scars.

The goal of dermatologic surgery is to remove or reduce skin lesions while minimizing scarring and functional impairment.

Pediatric surgery is a branch of surgery that requires special care and dedicated expertise. Nevi, although often benign, may sometimes present an aesthetic concern or, in rare cases, a risk of malignancy requiring removal.

Otoplasty, or correction of prominent ears, is also a common procedure in children. It involves reshaping the ear cartilage to create a more natural appearance and reduce ear protrusion. These procedures, although they may appear simple, require great attention to detail and a thorough understanding of growth and development to ensure optimal results and avoid future complications.

Aesthetic medicine addresses a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including skin aging, wrinkles, pigment spots and skin texture issues. However, while it can provide significant improvements, aesthetic medicine generally cannot achieve changes as dramatic or permanent as those obtained through aesthetic surgery.

It includes a wide variety of treatments and techniques such as botulinum toxin injections, hyaluronic acid injections and chemical peels.

In Switzerland, aesthetic surgery procedures are generally not covered by health insurance. These procedures, performed primarily for aesthetic rather than medical reasons, are considered comfort treatments and are therefore at the patient’s expense.

However, exceptions exist when aesthetic surgery is recognized as having a reconstructive or functional purpose. For example, rhinoplasty following nasal trauma or breast reduction to relieve back pain caused by breast hypertrophy. In such cases, partial or full coverage by health insurance may be possible, usually subject to prior approval by the medical advisor of the insurance provider. For further details, it is recommended to consult Dr Prevot in Geneva, who can provide precise information based on your individual situation.
