About the specialty
Function and appearance as one goal
Maxillofacial surgery is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries and malformations of the masticatory system and facial skeleton, including craniofacial surgery.
Reconstructive surgery aims to restore the face’s natural appearance: after injury or tumour removal, or with a congenital anomaly, functional and aesthetic goals are addressed together.
Our partner clinics have an extensive interdisciplinary network within the hospital, and emergency admission by the in-house medical team is available around the clock, seven days a week.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does treatment in Switzerland cost?
The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of examinations and the programme chosen. We obtain a cost estimate from the clinic and share it with you before treatment begins, with a clear breakdown of what it includes.
Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a remote review of your records and a second opinion from a specialist professor before any travel is planned.
How long does it take to arrange the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days, depending on urgency and whether a visa is required.
Do I need to speak German, French or English?
A medical interpreter accompanies you to every appointment and remains available throughout your stay in Switzerland, so you can communicate in your own language.
Why go through CorSwiss rather than directly to a clinic?
We are your independent representative and an end-to-end Swiss medical concierge. We select the best specialist for your case from across Switzerland, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent cost estimate before treatment begins. Everything else is handled by one team: medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation (including for those travelling with you), a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical matter. Your personal medical manager looks after your case from the first enquiry until you are home, and stays in touch afterwards: we follow up your results remotely and coordinate ongoing care.
