Botox treatments

Cosmetic treatment for the temporary elimination of mimic muscle activity, which leads to visible smoothing of wrinkles (within 5-10 days), with an effect that lasts more than four to six months. The use is especially suitable for forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and “crowsfeet”. Botox (botulinum toxin type A) can also be used in the lip and chin area, in combination with other techniques if need be. Botox is very successfully used also against sweating of the feet, hands and the axilla. The treatment should be performed only by qualified specialists with comprehensive knowledge of functional facial anatomy and sufficient experience.

Augmentation plasties

Enlargement of a facial region that is too small or not prominent enough, such as a receding chin, flat cheekbones, hollow cheeks, jaw angles that are too narrow. Modern materials for that are: lyocartilage and one’s own fat.
We also perform augmentation plasties of the breast.

Wrinkle reduction

Elimination of facial wrinkles (so-called frown and/or laugh lines, crowsfeet) by the injection of one’s own fat or underfilling with lyocartilage, Goretex sutures, etc.
Crowsfeet can permanently be eliminated by a browlift procedure.

Bignathic operation

Operative repositioning of the upper and lower jaws for perfecting facial harmony and occlusion.

Injection of own fat

The patient’s own fat, which, for example, was extracted from the upper thigh or the abdomen, is centrifuged and the vital fat cells used by injection to smooth wrinkles, to give contour to the red portion of the lips or to emphasise the cheeks.

Eyebrow lift (Engl. brow lift)

Raising and correcting the position of the eyebrows by means of minimally invasive methods. It takes place usually in combination with a forehead lift and / or upper eyelid plasties (cf. also eyelid plasty). It eliminates also perfectly crows feet.

Laser treatments

The clinic has offered a proven laser technique for some time: the vaporising of the upper layers of the skin by the ultra pulse CO2 laser. Thus creases caused by the sun, crowsfeet, forehead and upper lip wrinkles, which a face lift cannot reach, as well as acne scars disappear.

Neck reduction plasty

Elimination of a double chin or sagging chin or prominent neck cords through liposuction or through peroral or extraoral tissue reduction using cosmetic suture techniques.

Facial reduction

Reduction of the width of the face through reduction of the width of the jaw angle or the zygomatic bones and the cheek fat pad or a masseter reduction plasty. These procedures are all done intraorally and leave no visible scars.

Face lengthening and shortening

Repositioning of face and jaw bones via surgical access from the mouth in order to obtain harmonious and attractive facial proportions.

Permanent make-up

Introduction of permanent (3-5 years) biological colour pigments into the superficial layers of the skin of the lips, eyelids and eyebrows. Existing permanent make-up can be corrected or removed with special tattooing methods. More women are going back to this accentuation of the face, which saves on conventional, expensive make-up and at the same lends a natural radiance. Medical permanent make-up can also be employed for pigment disorders of the skin, such as depigmented scars. A certified linergist and make-up artist deal with that at the Klinik Professor Sailer.

Breast surgery

Society’s emphasis on the female breast today has stylised the latter into a symbol, deviations from the ideal image of which often can create huge problems for affected women. The cosmetic operation that is demanded the most often is breast enlargement by means of implants. The shell of an implant is always made solid silicone, a very stabile synthetic material that is fairly inactive chemically. Available as fillers are silicone gel, saline solutions or hydrogels. Implants, also called prostheses, with soybean oil as the filler should no longer be used, according to the latest knowledge. Indications for surgery, besides the aesthetic-psychological problems, are accident sequelae or breast cancer diseases.

The clinic is distinguished also by great successes in the area of breast reduction with simultaneous tightening of the tissue and lifting of the breast. These procedures are performed by experienced specialists using the latest techniques with minimal incisions and a brief recovery phase.

Fat removal by suction (liposuction)

The suctioning of subcutaneous fatty tissue via the smallest of incisions at various places on the body for women and men, such as on the abdomen, on the legs or on the buttocks. Precisely the so-called riding breeches look, which is often caused by heredity, cannot be gotten rid of with diets. During liposuction a saline solution in combination with a local anaesthetic is injected into the places to be treated. In the process the fat cells swell up and lift up from the tissue as a result. With the aid of vibrating cannulas of various lengths and thicknesses the fat is then siphoned off, without causing injury to the subcutaneous tissue. Longitudinal studies prove that the effect achieved is permanent. The clinic also conducts liposuction in the neck, cheek and chin (sagging chin) areas. You can find more information under the “You ask, We answer” section.

Anti-aging

Today people want not only to age less but primarily to become older gracefully. With careful, comprehensive, aesthetic planning, combined with individually adapted surgical procedures as needed, one can counteract the aging process using general measures spanning the areas of nutrition, exercise and hormone replacement therapy. Today it is possible to slow down biological aging and to maintain a youthful appearance into old age. Quality of life and zest for life automatically rise in the process. Therefore, one speaks increasingly of "better aging" and "successful aging", meaning growing old successfully. Specially trained specialists provide individual analyses at the Clinic and comprehensive anti-aging programmes based on them.

Dimple plasty

Creation of small dimples in the cheeks or chin using a special surgical method developed by Professor Sailer. The procedure takes place intraorally. No external scar formation.

Implants

Biological (e.g., lyocartilage, Bio-Oss®, collagen) or synthetic materials (e.g., Goretex, silicone implants, endoprostheses) which are inserted into the body.

Cheekbone onlays

Emphasizing the cheekbones with onlay materials, such as lyocartilage; done exclusively through the oral cavity. This is the safest way.

Chin plasty

Emphasis, reduction or other contouring of the chin through an operation on the bony part of the chin. The procedure is done intraorally exclusively, without visible scar formation. No prefabricated foreign materials are used, because they cause pressure resorption of the bone, are mostly movable and often extruded.

Cosmetic rhinoplasty

A remodelling nose correction for the elimination of bumps, for narrowing, shortening and straightening of less than beautiful noses in the bony and cartilaginous areas. Nasal patency for breathing may not be impaired. We perform functional nose operations to improve nasal breathing as well.

Eyelid plasty (blepharoplasty)

Removal of surplus tissue on the upper eyelid (drooping eyelids) or lower eyelid (lachrymal sacs). Depending on the degree of severity, skin, muscle and fat are removed.
Note: an eyebrow lift must frequently be performed before a blepharoplasty.

Lip eversion

Broadening and increasing the volume of the red portion of the lip for contouring and visualisation, as a permanent measure, unlike the injection methods.

Shortening of the upper lip

Professor Sailer has developed several methods to shorten the upper lip, since for women in menopause this often becomes thinner through the loss of turgor, the red portion of the lips becomes narrower, and the teeth are no longer visible. A single injection in the red portion of the lips is contraindicated in these situations.

Masseter reduction

Operative contouring intraorally of the cheek muscle to narrow a lower face that is too broad in the area of the jaw angle. We also perform functional masseter reduction plasties to decrease excessive teeth grinding in connection with temporomandibular joint disease.

Nasolabial fold correction

The folds that run from the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth should be eliminated primarily using new intraoral techniques, since this yields permanent results unlike injection methods. We use primarily lyocartilage (see below). The procedure can be combined with an injection of the patient’s own fat.

Earlobe plasty

Earlobes become longer throughout the course of life (aided by heavy earrings that on occasion are pulled out) or are deformed by an unsuccessful face lift. Professor Sailer has the appropriate plastic surgery methods of correction.

Otoplasty

Setting back protruding ears or shaping ear muscles and earlobes.

Orthognathic surgery

Repositioning of the midface, upper and lower jaws for the functional and aesthetic correction of growth disturbances, such as retroposition of the lower jaw (small chin) and upper jaw or protrusion of the lower jaw (progenia).

Forehead lift

Elevation of the forehead and/or eyebrow region to tighten the skin of the forehead and the lifting of lowset eyebrows via a minimally invasive procedure through the skin of the hair bearing head region.

Sagging chin

Soft portions of the chin hanging or tilted down that lead to unsightly, deep wrinkle formation at the transition to the neck. A new method by Professor Sailer can eliminate the sagging chin.
