About the doctor

Facial reconstruction and aesthetics at the highest European level

Maxillofacial surgery unites two tasks that rarely rest with one person: restoring function and creating a harmonious face. Professor Hermann F. Sailer has devoted himself to both for more than half a century. In 1987 he was appointed director of the Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery at University Hospital Zurich (USZ). From 1989 to 1994 he headed the Institute of Dentistry at the University of Zurich, from 1996 to 1998 he led the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, and in 2002 he founded his own clinic in Zurich.

Why patients choose Professor Sailer

  • Reconstructive and aesthetic facial surgery. Correction of the jaws and facial skeleton, cosmetic surgery, and reconstruction after injury or tumour removal.
  • Surgery for congenital anomalies. Many years of experience treating cleft lip and palate; Professor Sailer founded the Cleft Children International foundation.
  • Snoring and sleep apnoea. Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea is one of the key specialties of his clinic.
  • A private clinic with complete discretion. Patients travel from around the world for treatment; the clinic offers complete privacy and hotel-standard service.
