The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) published its Global Survey for 2025 on 29 September 2026. Face and head procedures exceeded 7.6 million worldwide, up 3.2% on the previous year. Eyelid surgery remained the most common cosmetic operation of all, with more than 2.4 million procedures, rhinoplasty passed one million and facial fat grafting reached about 0.9 million. For the first time, eyelid surgery was also the most common operation among men.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks earlier, on 1 September 2026, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) released its 2025 statistics. The fastest-growing procedures were forehead and brow lifts (+29%), neck lifts (+21%) and facelifts (+13%), while facial fat grafting recorded the largest single-year gain of any procedure tracked (+39%). American figures do not translate directly to Switzerland, but surgeons in Geneva, Zurich and Tunis read the same journals and attend the same congresses, so the trend towards treating the upper face, the neck and lost volume together is visible on both sides of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does Tunisia appear in international reports?<\/h3>\n<p>Because ISAPS lists Tunisia among the three countries with the highest average proportion of foreign patients, alongside the Dominican Republic and Mexico. That says nothing about any individual clinic. It does mean that Tunisian teams are used to patients who arrive by plane, stay for a defined number of days, and need their follow-up organised from a distance. It also means that the market includes everything from well-run clinics to aggressive low-cost offers, which is why the selection criteria later in this guide matter.<\/p>\n<h3>Are weight-loss injections changing facial surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>They are, in two ways. First, people who lose a lot of weight quickly with semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro) often lose fat from the cheeks and temples, and the jawline and neck loosen. In the ASPS report, 82% of member surgeons said they had received consultation requests linked to these medicines. The World Health Organization issued its first global guideline on GLP-1 medicines for obesity on 1 December 2025, which tells you how mainstream these treatments have become. In Switzerland, Wegovy has been reimbursed under strict conditions since March 2024 and Mounjaro since January 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Second, there is a safety point. These medicines slow stomach emptying, which matters under anaesthesia. A multi-society guidance led by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (October 2024) says most patients can continue their medicine before planned surgery, but those in the dose-escalation phase or with digestive symptoms may need to delay, and a liquid diet the day before may be advised. Whatever you take, tell the team in Tunisia the name, the dose and the date of your last injection. If your weight is still falling, wait until it has been stable for a few months before a facelift or fat grafting, otherwise the face you operate on is not the face you will have.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Date<\/th>\n<th>Source<\/th>\n<th>Key point<\/th>\n<th>What it means for you<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Oct. 2024<\/td>\n<td>ASA multi-society guidance<\/td>\n<td>GLP-1 medicines and anaesthesia: most continue, some delay<\/td>\n<td>Declare any weight-loss injection before surgery<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Dec. 2025<\/td>\n<td>WHO<\/td>\n<td>First global guideline on GLP-1 medicines for obesity<\/td>\n<td>More patients with rapid facial volume loss<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1 Sept. 2026<\/td>\n<td>ASPS 2025 statistics<\/td>\n<td>Brow lifts +29%, neck lifts +21%, facelifts +13%, facial fat grafting +39%<\/td>\n<td>Upper face, neck and volume are increasingly treated together<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>29 Sept. 2026<\/td>\n<td>ISAPS Global Survey 2025<\/td>\n<td>More than 7.6 million face and head procedures; Tunisia among top countries for foreign patients<\/td>\n<td>Common operations, but choose the team carefully<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"assessment\">Before you choose: a facial assessment from Switzerland<\/h2>\n<h3>Can a surgeon in Tunisia assess my face before I travel?<\/h3>\n<p>Partly, and that first assessment is more useful than most people expect. A good remote assessment uses standardised photographs: front, both profiles, both three-quarter views, and for the nose a view from below. Natural light, no make-up, hair tied back and the camera at eye level make a real difference. For eyelids, add a photograph with your eyes looking up and one with them closed. For the neck, a profile with your head in a neutral position, not tilted. With these, the surgeon can say whether your request is realistic, which operation is likely and whether anything needs checking in person. The final decision is always made at the in-person consultation in Tunisia, which is part of the package.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I prepare for the first contact?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A short description of what bothers you, in your own words, rather than a list of procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Your medical history: previous operations (including any on the nose or eyelids), allergies, medicines, especially blood thinners, aspirin, anti-inflammatories, supplements such as fish oil or ginkgo, and any weight-loss injection.<\/li>\n<li>Whether you smoke or vape. Nicotine narrows small vessels and is a particular problem for facelifts, where the skin flap depends on a good blood supply.<\/li>\n<li>Any eye problems for eyelid surgery: dry eyes, recent laser eye surgery, contact lens wear.<\/li>\n<li>The dates you can realistically take off work, and any event you need to look presentable for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Do I need a referral from my Swiss GP?<\/h3>\n<p>No, not for cosmetic surgery you pay yourself, whatever your insurance model (family doctor, HMO or telemedicine). Telling your GP is still sensible, because your GP will often be the first person you call in Switzerland if something worries you after your return, and because a recent blood test or ECG from Switzerland can be added to your file. If you suspect a medical component, such as blocked nasal breathing or eyelids that hang over your field of vision, read the insurance section below before you book anything abroad.<\/p>\n<h3>How much time should I allow between the decision and the operation?<\/h3>\n<p>For facial surgery, a few weeks at least. You need time to compare, to ask follow-up questions and, if you smoke, to stop for the period your surgeon asks. A rhinoplasty is the procedure where the wait is most valuable: the people who are happiest afterwards are generally those who understood exactly what could and could not be changed. If you feel pushed to book within days because of a \u00ab\u00a0promotion\u00a0\u00bb, that is a reason to slow down, not to hurry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nose\">Rhinoplasty in Tunisia<\/h2>\n<h3>What can a rhinoplasty change, and what can it not?<\/h3>\n<p>A rhinoplasty can reduce a hump, refine or lift a tip, narrow a wide bridge or base, straighten a crooked nose and correct breathing problems at the same time. What it cannot do is give you someone else&rsquo;s nose. Your skin thickness, the strength of your cartilage and the proportions of the rest of your face set the limits. Thick skin, for example, hides fine tip detail; a very small nose on a strong face looks operated. Medespoir describes the procedure in French on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/rhinoplastie.php\">rhinoplasty page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Open or closed rhinoplasty: which is better?<\/h3>\n<p>Neither is better in general. In an open rhinoplasty, a small incision across the column between the nostrils lets the surgeon lift the skin and see the framework directly; it is preferred for complex tips, revisions and major reshaping. In a closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are inside the nostrils; it suits more limited changes and leaves no visible scar. The external scar of an open approach usually becomes very discreet. What matters is that the surgeon chooses the approach for your nose and can explain why.<\/p>\n<h3>What are ultrasonic and preservation rhinoplasty?<\/h3>\n<p>Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty uses an instrument that vibrates to reshape bone more precisely than chisels and rasps, with the aim of less trauma to soft tissue. Preservation rhinoplasty lowers a hump by working underneath the bridge instead of removing it, keeping the natural line of the dorsum. Both are tools, not guarantees. They suit certain noses and not others. If a clinic sells you a technique before it has examined your nose, ask why.<\/p>\n<h3>Can breathing be improved at the same time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. A deviated septum, enlarged turbinates or weak nasal valves can be treated in the same operation, which is then called a septorhinoplasty. A careful surgeon checks breathing before reducing a nose, because narrowing the nose without supporting the valves can make breathing worse. Mention any snoring, a blocked side or recurring sinus problems in your first message. Note that if you have the functional part done abroad, Swiss basic insurance will not reimburse it; more on this below.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the swelling last?<\/h3>\n<p>Most bruising fades in the first two weeks. The nose looks reasonable in photographs after about a month, but the tip and the skin over it continue to settle for twelve months or longer, more so with thick skin and in revisions. That long curve is normal. It is also the reason a surgeon cannot judge the final result at your check-up before you fly, and why the follow-up from Switzerland matters.<\/p>\n<h3>How long should I stay in Tunisia for a rhinoplasty?<\/h3>\n<p>Medespoir&rsquo;s indicative stay for a rhinoplasty is six to seven days. That covers the operation, the first days of rest, the removal of the splint or the check of the dressings, and the medical authorisation to fly. On the plane, swelling can feel more pronounced; a seat away from crowded aisles, a scarf to protect your nose and simple pain relief agreed with the surgeon make the journey easier.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I go back to work or wear glasses?<\/h3>\n<p>Most people with office work return after about ten to fourteen days, a little longer if the bruising is marked. Glasses should not rest on the bridge for several weeks after bone work; ask your surgeon how long and whether taping or a support is recommended. Contact lenses are usually fine once the eyelid swelling has gone. Contact sport and anything that risks a knock to the nose wait for several weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a revision rhinoplasty possible in Tunisia?<\/h3>\n<p>It is possible, but revisions are a different operation: scar tissue, missing cartilage that may need to be taken from the ear or the rib, and a longer recovery. Ask specifically how many revisions the surgeon performs and whether they would graft cartilage. Bring the operative report from your first operation if you have it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eyelids\">Eyelid surgery in Tunisia<\/h2>\n<h3>Upper, lower or both: how do I know?<\/h3>\n<p>Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin, and sometimes a small amount of fat, from the upper lid, through an incision hidden in the natural crease. Lower blepharoplasty treats bags and the hollow between the lower lid and the cheek, either through the inside of the lid (transconjunctival approach, no visible scar) or through an incision just under the lashes when skin also needs tightening. Many patients over fifty need both. Medespoir explains the options in French on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/blepharoplastie.php\">blepharoplasty page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Do my lids need surgery, or my brows?<\/h3>\n<p>This is the most important question in eyelid surgery and the one most often missed. If your brows have descended, the skin of the upper lid bunches up and looks heavy. Removing that skin without addressing the brow can pull the brow down further and give a tired, flat look. Lift your brows gently with your fingertips in front of a mirror: if the upper lid improves a lot, discuss a brow lift or a combined procedure. ASPS figures showing the fastest growth for brow lifts in 2025 reflect precisely this better diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between excess skin and ptosis?<\/h3>\n<p>Excess skin is treated with a blepharoplasty. Ptosis means the lid margin itself sits too low because the muscle that lifts it has stretched or detached, often with age or after years of contact lens wear. Ptosis needs a repair of that muscle. Some people have both. A surgeon who measures the position of your lid margin, not only the skin, is doing the job properly.<\/p>\n<h3>Is eyelid surgery done under local or general anaesthesia?<\/h3>\n<p>An upper blepharoplasty alone is frequently done under local anaesthesia, sometimes with light sedation. Lower lids, combined procedures or anxious patients are often treated under sedation or general anaesthesia. Ask which is planned, as it changes what you must avoid eating beforehand and how quickly you are on your feet.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is the stay and the recovery?<\/h3>\n<p>Medespoir&rsquo;s indicative stay for a blepharoplasty is five to six days. Stitches are usually removed after about a week. Bruising often lasts ten to fourteen days and can be hidden with tinted glasses and, once allowed, make-up. Most people feel ready for office work after around ten days. The Tunisian sun is a factor: wear good sunglasses and a hat, and avoid sun on fresh scars.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the risks of eyelid surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Temporary dry or watery eyes, difficulty closing the lids fully for a few days, visible scars in rare cases, asymmetry, and, after lower lid surgery, a pulling down of the lid margin (ectropion) if too much skin is removed. Bleeding behind the eye is very rare but is an emergency: sudden pain, swelling and loss of vision need immediate care. These risks are a reason to choose a surgeon who removes conservatively and who checks your eye health before operating.<\/p>\n<h3>Can lower eyelid bags be treated without surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the hollow below the bag can be softened with hyaluronic acid filler, which makes the bag less visible. True fat bags, however, do not disappear with filler, and filler in the under-eye area has specific risks. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/blog\/botox-fillers-tunisia-lips-under-eyes-jawline\/\">botox and fillers in Tunisia<\/a> covers under-eye filler in detail.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"facelift\">Facelift and neck lift in Tunisia<\/h2>\n<h3>What does a modern facelift actually do?<\/h3>\n<p>A modern facelift repositions the deeper layer of the face, called the SMAS, and redrapes the skin over it without pulling it tight. It treats jowls, the deep fold from nose to mouth to some extent, and the loose skin and bands of the neck. Skin-only lifts, which pull the surface, tend to look tight and last a short time. Medespoir describes the procedure on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/lifting-cervico-facial.php\">cervico-facial lift page<\/a> (in French), and the differences between techniques are covered in our English article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/blog\/deep-plane-or-smas-facelift\/\">Deep plane or SMAS facelift: which is right for you?<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Do I need a neck lift, a facelift or both?<\/h3>\n<p>The neck and the lower face age together. If your main concern is a loose neck with vertical bands, a neck lift may be done on its own, often with liposuction under the chin and a tightening of the platysma muscle. If jowls are also present, the two are combined in a cervico-facial lift. A surgeon will feel the skin, look at the angle under your chin and ask you to tense your neck muscles before deciding.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a right age for a facelift?<\/h3>\n<p>There is no fixed age. The right moment is when the sagging bothers you and the skin still has some elasticity. Many patients are in their fifties or sixties, but weight-loss medicines have brought younger patients who have lost volume quickly. Being healthy matters more than being a certain age: well-controlled blood pressure is particularly important, because high blood pressure increases the risk of a haematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), the most common early complication of a facelift.<\/p>\n<h3>What about mini lifts and thread lifts?<\/h3>\n<p>A mini lift uses shorter incisions and a more limited dissection; it suits early jowls in people with little neck laxity. Its effect is usually less durable. Thread lifts are not surgery: they give a modest lift for a limited time. Neither replaces a full lift when the neck is loose. Be wary of the word \u00ab\u00a0mini\u00a0\u00bb when it hides a skin-only procedure.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is the stay after a facelift?<\/h3>\n<p>Medespoir&rsquo;s indicative stay for a cervico-facial lift is seven to ten days. The first night is often spent in the clinic, sometimes with a drain. A compressive bandage or chin strap is worn for a period set by the surgeon. Stitches in front of and behind the ears are removed in stages. You should plan two to three weeks before returning to work and social life, and avoid major events for at least six weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Will my scars be visible?<\/h3>\n<p>The incisions run in the natural fold in front of the ear (or just inside it), around the earlobe and behind the ear into the hairline. They are usually well hidden once mature, which takes up to a year. Hairstyles that cover the ears help in the first months. Tell your surgeon if you wear your hair up or very short: it changes where the incision behind the ear should run.<\/p>\n<h3>Which risks should I discuss before a facelift?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Haematoma in the first 24 to 48 hours, more frequent in men and in people with high blood pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Temporary numbness of the cheeks and ears, common and slowly recovering.<\/li>\n<li>Injury to a facial nerve branch, rare and usually temporary.<\/li>\n<li>Skin problems at the edges of the flap, much more likely in smokers.<\/li>\n<li>Changes in hairline or earlobe shape, avoided by careful planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How long does a facelift last?<\/h3>\n<p>A facelift turns the clock back but does not stop it. Most people still look younger ten years later than they would have without surgery. Sun protection, stable weight and not smoking help preserve the result. Fillers or toxin can be used in the following years for fine-tuning, but they do not replace a second lift if one is eventually needed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<p><strong>Considering facial surgery in Tunisia?<\/strong> Send your photographs and questions for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/devis.php\">free, personalised quote<\/a>, issued in your name within 48 hours. It states the procedure, the indicative stay and what is included. On average, Medespoir&rsquo;s package in Tunisia is around 60% cheaper than comparable surgery in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"ears\">Ear correction in Tunisia<\/h2>\n<h3>Who is otoplasty for?<\/h3>\n<p>Otoplasty corrects ears that stand out from the head, are asymmetric or have a poorly formed fold. It can be performed from around the age of six, when the ears have nearly reached adult size, and at any age in adults. For adults living in Switzerland, it is one of the simplest facial operations to organise abroad, because the stay is short and the recovery predictable. Medespoir describes it in French on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/otoplastie.php\">otoplasty page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it done?<\/h3>\n<p>Through an incision behind the ear, the surgeon reshapes the cartilage, creates or strengthens the natural fold with permanent stitches, and sets the ear closer to the head. In adults, local anaesthesia with or without sedation is common. The scar sits in the fold behind the ear and is barely visible.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the recovery like?<\/h3>\n<p>A headband or dressing is worn continuously for the first days, then at night for several weeks to protect the ears while sleeping. The ears are sore and swollen for a week or two. Most adults return to office work within a week. Medespoir&rsquo;s indicative stay is five to six days, which leaves time for the first dressing change and the check-up before the flight. Avoid helmets, tight hats and contact sports until your surgeon allows them.<\/p>\n<h3>What can go wrong?<\/h3>\n<p>Asymmetry, partial recurrence when a stitch gives way, over-correction that makes the ears look pinned back, and occasionally a painful stitch that needs removal. A haematoma in the first days is rare but needs prompt drainage, so report any sudden, one-sided pain. Discuss with the surgeon whether you want both ears treated even if only one bothers you; symmetry often requires it.<\/p>\n<h3>Does insurance pay for prominent ears?<\/h3>\n<p>Correcting prominent ears is not a mandatory benefit of Swiss basic insurance. Swiss consumer reporting has shown that some insurers have nevertheless paid in pronounced cases, sometimes after requesting additional medical documentation. For an adult travelling abroad by choice, assume you will pay yourself.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chin\">Chin surgery and profile balancing<\/h2>\n<h3>Chin implant or genioplasty?<\/h3>\n<p>Both increase chin projection. A chin implant, usually silicone, is placed on the bone through a small incision under the chin or inside the mouth; it suits a moderately weak chin. A sliding genioplasty cuts the lower part of the chin bone and moves it, then fixes it with small plates; it can also shorten, lengthen or straighten the chin, which an implant cannot. Medespoir explains the operation in French on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/genioplastie.php\">genioplasty page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do surgeons look at the chin before the nose?<\/h3>\n<p>Because the nose and chin balance each other in profile. A weak chin makes a normal nose look larger. Combining a moderate rhinoplasty with a chin correction, sometimes called profileplasty, often gives a more harmonious face than a drastic nose reduction. Medespoir has a page on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/profiloplastie-rhinoplastie-genioplastie-double-menton.php\">combination of rhinoplasty, genioplasty and double-chin treatment<\/a> (in French).<\/p>\n<h3>When is it a jaw problem rather than a chin problem?<\/h3>\n<p>When your teeth do not meet properly. If your lower jaw sits back and your bite is affected, moving the chin alone masks the problem. Jaw surgery, planned with an orthodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon over many months, is a different project that is generally not suited to a single trip. If you have bite problems, get them assessed in Switzerland first.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is the stay after chin surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Medespoir&rsquo;s indicative stay for a genioplasty is five to six days. Expect swelling of the lower face for two to three weeks, a soft diet for a few days if the incision is inside the mouth, and careful mouth hygiene with rinses. Temporary numbness of the lower lip and chin is common after a bony genioplasty because the sensory nerve runs close to the cut; it usually recovers over weeks to months.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a double chin be treated at the same time?<\/h3>\n<p>Often, yes. Liposuction under the chin is a small addition that sharpens the angle between the neck and jaw in people with good skin elasticity. When the skin is loose, liposuction alone can leave it hanging, and a neck lift is the better answer. Fillers and toxin can refine the jawline without surgery, within limits.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fat\">Facial fat grafting<\/h2>\n<h3>What is facial fat grafting?<\/h3>\n<p>Facial fat grafting, or lipofilling, uses your own fat, harvested by gentle liposuction from the abdomen or thighs, purified and injected in small amounts into the cheeks, temples, under-eye hollows, jawline, chin or lips. It is often added to a facelift or eyelid surgery, because ageing is a loss of volume as much as a descent of tissue. Medespoir describes it on its page about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/lipofilling-visage-tunisie.php\">facial fat grafting in Tunisia<\/a> (in French).<\/p>\n<h3>How much of the fat stays?<\/h3>\n<p>Part of the grafted fat is reabsorbed during the first months; what survives tends to stay. The proportion varies with the technique, the area and the person. Surgeons may slightly overcorrect, and a second session is sometimes planned. Judge the result after three to six months, not at your check-up before the flight, when swelling still exaggerates the volume.<\/p>\n<h3>Fat or filler?<\/h3>\n<p>Filler is quick, adjustable and reversible with an enzyme, but temporary. Fat is a surgical procedure with a donor site and more swelling, but the part that survives is permanent and moves naturally. For large volumes, or in combination with a lift, fat is usually preferred. For a lip touch-up or a fine line, filler is more practical. If you have lost weight with GLP-1 medicines, wait for weight stability: grafted fat behaves like the fat it came from, so later weight changes affect it too.<\/p>\n<h3>What are microfat and nanofat?<\/h3>\n<p>Microfat consists of very small fat parcels injected with fine cannulas into delicate areas such as the lower lids. Nanofat is mechanically emulsified fat that no longer provides volume and is injected superficially for a possible effect on skin quality. The evidence for nanofat remains limited; treat it as a complement, not as the main treatment.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the risks?<\/h3>\n<p>Lumps and irregularities, particularly under thin eyelid skin; asymmetry; overcorrection; prolonged swelling; and, very rarely but seriously, injection into a blood vessel, which can cause tissue damage or vision problems. Blunt cannulas, small volumes per pass and an experienced surgeon reduce these risks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"combining\">Combining facial procedures in one trip<\/h2>\n<h3>Which combinations are common?<\/h3>\n<p>A facelift with eyelid surgery and fat grafting; upper and lower lids together; a rhinoplasty with a chin correction; a neck lift with liposuction under the chin. Combining saves a second anaesthetic, a second trip and a second recovery, and the result is more harmonious when the face is treated as a whole. For Swiss residents, it also means only one round of time off work.<\/p>\n<h3>When is combining a bad idea?<\/h3>\n<p>When the total operating time becomes long, when your health adds risk, or when the procedures have conflicting recoveries. A rhinoplasty and a facelift, for instance, can be combined but make for a heavy recovery. Good surgeons set limits and sometimes recommend two stages. Be wary of a clinic that adds procedures to reach a \u00ab\u00a0package\u00a0\u00bb price.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Procedure or combination<\/th>\n<th>Indicative stay in Tunisia (Medespoir)<\/th>\n<th>Usual return to office work<\/th>\n<th>When the result can be judged<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Rhinoplasty<\/td>\n<td>6 to 7 days<\/td>\n<td>10 to 14 days<\/td>\n<td>12 months or more<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Blepharoplasty<\/td>\n<td>5 to 6 days<\/td>\n<td>About 10 days<\/td>\n<td>3 to 6 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cervico-facial lift<\/td>\n<td>7 to 10 days<\/td>\n<td>2 to 3 weeks<\/td>\n<td>6 to 12 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Otoplasty<\/td>\n<td>5 to 6 days<\/td>\n<td>About 1 week<\/td>\n<td>About 3 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genioplasty<\/td>\n<td>5 to 6 days<\/td>\n<td>1 to 2 weeks<\/td>\n<td>3 to 6 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Combined procedures<\/td>\n<td>8 to 10 days<\/td>\n<td>Depends on the heaviest procedure<\/td>\n<td>Depends on the slowest procedure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Stays are those indicated by Medespoir; the return-to-work column gives common averages, and your surgeon&rsquo;s instructions take precedence.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"recovery\">Recovery, stay and flying home<\/h2>\n<h3>What happens during the stay?<\/h3>\n<p>The Tunisian package includes the pre-operative consultation and tests, the operation with the whole team, the hospital stay, daily care at the hotel, the check-up and authorisation to leave, and the operative report. The hotel is full board for you and a companion, and all transfers are included. For facial surgery, the daily care typically involves checking dressings and drains, cleaning incisions, and later removing stitches. Medespoir&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/sejour.php\">stay page<\/a> (in French) describes the organisation.<\/p>\n<h3>Why do I need a companion?<\/h3>\n<p>You do not strictly need one, but for facial surgery a companion is especially helpful: your vision may be blurred after eyelid surgery, swelling can make you feel unwell, and having someone to fetch meals and talk to makes the first days easier. The package includes full board for one companion, which removes the main practical obstacle.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it safe to fly after facial surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, once the surgeon has authorised it, which is why the stays above are as long as they are. Direct flights to Geneva and Basel-Mulhouse take about two hours; to Zurich, the flight is direct or has a connection depending on the season. Swelling may increase a little in the cabin. Drink water, avoid alcohol, keep your head raised if you can doze, and take your medicines and operative report in your hand luggage. If you have had a rhinoplasty, protect your nose from bags in overhead lockers.<\/p>\n<h3>How should I sleep in the first weeks?<\/h3>\n<p>On your back, with your head raised on two pillows or a wedge, for about two weeks after most facial procedures. This limits swelling and protects the ears after otoplasty and the incisions after a facelift. Cold compresses help in the first 48 hours, applied gently and never directly on the skin.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I exercise, drink alcohol or go in the sun?<\/h3>\n<p>Walking is encouraged from the first days. Running, gym work and anything that raises blood pressure usually waits two to four weeks, longer after a facelift. Alcohol is best avoided while taking painkillers and in the first week. Direct sun on fresh scars should be avoided for several months; this is easier in Switzerland in winter than in Tunisia in summer, which is one reason many patients choose the cooler months.<\/p>\n<h3>When can I wear make-up or colour my hair?<\/h3>\n<p>Make-up can usually be applied around the incisions once stitches are out and the wounds are closed, roughly from the second week. Hair colouring waits until the scalp incisions of a facelift have healed, often several weeks. Ask your surgeon for the exact timing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"money\">Insurance, cost and what the package covers<\/h2>\n<h3>Will Swiss basic insurance pay anything?<\/h3>\n<p>No, for planned surgery abroad. Basic insurance under the Swiss Health Insurance Act (KVG\/LAMal) pays for planned treatment in Switzerland, and abroad essentially only in emergencies. Even the functional part of a septorhinoplasty or a medically indicated eyelid operation would only be considered for reimbursement if performed in Switzerland, with prior approval from your insurer. If you think you have a medical indication, start with your GP and your insurer in Switzerland and compare the two options with the decision in hand.<\/p>\n<h3>Do supplementary policies cover cosmetic surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Generally not. Some supplementary policies pay small amounts for specific treatments, but purely aesthetic surgery is almost always excluded, and treatment abroad by choice even more so. A travel insurance policy is recommended for the trip; read whether it covers complications of planned surgery, which many do not.<\/p>\n<h3>How much cheaper is Tunisia?<\/h3>\n<p>According to Medespoir&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/tarifs.php\">price page<\/a>, the Tunisian package is around 60% cheaper than comparable surgery in Switzerland. The exact price depends on the procedure, the combination and your medical situation, and is given in a free, personalised quote within 48 hours. The quote can also compare destinations if you are weighing several options.<\/p>\n<h3>What exactly is included?<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Included in the Tunisian package<\/th>\n<th>At your own expense<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Pre-operative consultation and tests<\/td>\n<td>Flights<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The operation, with surgeon, anaesthetist and assistant, and the operating theatre<\/td>\n<td>Personal spending<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hospital stay and post-operative garments<\/td>\n<td>Extending your stay for convenience<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Daily care at the hotel, check-up and authorisation to leave<\/td>\n<td>Care you receive in Switzerland after your return<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Operative report<\/td>\n<td>Travel insurance (recommended)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Full-board hotel for you and a companion, all transfers<\/td>\n<td>Bank charges<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Remote follow-up after your return to Switzerland<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Is the cheapest offer worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>For facial surgery, rarely. A rhinoplasty or facelift is a long operation where experience, the anaesthetic team and the quality of aftercare count more than in almost any other field. Compare what is included, who operates, how long the stay is and how follow-up works, before you compare totals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"surgeon\">How to judge a facial surgeon in Tunisia<\/h2>\n<h3>What qualifications should I look for?<\/h3>\n<p>A specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, or, for certain facial procedures, a surgeon with recognised training in facial surgery, such as an ENT surgeon specialised in the nose or an oculoplastic surgeon for the eyelids. Ask for the surgeon&rsquo;s name, specialty and experience with your specific procedure. Medespoir presents its surgeons on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/chirurgiens.php\">surgeons page<\/a> and its clinics on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/clinique.php\">clinic page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Which questions should I ask during the consultation?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Who will operate, and who will see me at each follow-up?<\/li>\n<li>Which technique do you recommend for my face, and why?<\/li>\n<li>What will be different afterwards, and what will not change?<\/li>\n<li>Which type of anaesthesia, and who gives it?<\/li>\n<li>What are the most common problems you see with this operation, and how do you handle them?<\/li>\n<li>How will follow-up work once I am back in Switzerland?<\/li>\n<li>In what language will I receive my operative report? (In Tunisia, consultations and documents are in French.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What are the warning signs?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A surgeon you only meet on the day of the operation.<\/li>\n<li>A firm price before anyone has seen photographs of your face.<\/li>\n<li>Pressure to decide quickly or to add procedures.<\/li>\n<li>Before-and-after photographs that are all taken in different light or angles.<\/li>\n<li>No clear answer on who to contact if you have a problem after returning home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What about language?<\/h3>\n<p>In Tunisia, consultations and medical documents are in French. Many Swiss expatriates speak French well; if you do not, say so at the start. A companion who speaks French, or clear written instructions you can translate before the operation, will make the stay easier. Bring your operative report home: your doctor in Switzerland can read French, and a Swiss specialist can work from it if needed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"home\">Back in Switzerland: the first three months<\/h2>\n<h3>Who looks after me once I am home?<\/h3>\n<p>The package includes remote follow-up: you send photographs at agreed intervals and can ask questions. Your GP in Switzerland can check a wound, prescribe a medicine or refer you if needed; these Swiss consultations are at your own expense or paid by basic insurance depending on the reason. Keep the operative report and the list of your medicines in a place you can find quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>Which symptoms need urgent care?<\/h3>\n<p>Sudden, one-sided swelling and pain after a facelift or otoplasty (possible haematoma), loss of vision or severe eye pain after eyelid surgery, a fever with a red, hot wound, or shortness of breath and calf pain after any operation. In these cases, go to an emergency department in Switzerland and say what operation you had and when, then inform the Medespoir team. Our French article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/blog\/complication-chirurgie-tunisie-suivi-suisse\/\">complications after returning to Switzerland<\/a> explains the steps.<\/p>\n<h3>When should I judge the result?<\/h3>\n<p>Not before three months for eyelids, ears and chin, not before six to twelve months for a facelift and not before a year for a rhinoplasty. Take your own photographs in the same light at one, three, six and twelve months. They are more reliable than the mirror, which shows you every small change from day to day.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I am disappointed?<\/h3>\n<p>First, wait for the swelling to settle. Then compare your photographs with what was planned. Contact the team with specific observations rather than general dissatisfaction. Small asymmetries are common and sometimes corrected with a minor touch-up once healing is complete; a major change of plan is a new operation. We discuss the topic in French in our article on disappointing results.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cases\">Four typical cases<\/h2>\n<h3>Claire, 52, Geneva: tired eyes<\/h3>\n<p>Claire works in an international organisation and is told she looks tired. At the remote assessment, photographs show heavy upper lids, mild lower lid bags and brows in a normal position. The plan is an upper and lower blepharoplasty with conservative skin removal. She travels in early November from Geneva, stays six days, and is back at work after ten days with tinted glasses for the first few.<\/p>\n<h3>Daniel, 34, Zurich: nose and breathing<\/h3>\n<p>Daniel has a hump since a sports injury and one blocked side. In Zurich, an ENT assessment confirms a deviated septum; he learns that insurance would consider the functional part only if done in Switzerland with approval. He compares both options and chooses a septorhinoplasty in Tunisia, paying himself, because the overall package is around 60% cheaper than the Swiss total for the combined operation. He plans seven days in Tunisia and two weeks off work.<\/p>\n<h3>Sabine, 61, Basel: jowls and neck<\/h3>\n<p>Sabine has jowls and loose neck skin, high blood pressure that is well controlled and no smoking history. Her surgeon recommends a cervico-facial lift with fat grafting to the cheeks. She flies from Basel-Mulhouse with her husband, who stays with her in the hotel included in the package, and plans ten days in Tunisia and three weeks before seeing friends.<\/p>\n<h3>Lucas, 28, Lausanne: ears and chin<\/h3>\n<p>Lucas has prominent ears and a weak chin. The surgeon suggests an otoplasty and a chin implant in one operation under general anaesthesia. The combination makes sense because both recover quickly. He plans six days, a headband at night for several weeks and no contact sport for two months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<p><strong>Ready to compare?<\/strong> Ask for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medespoir.ch\/devis.php\">free quote<\/a> with your photographs.

A rhinoplasty needs six to seven days and a cervico-facial lift seven to ten.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I have a rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery in the same trip?<\/h3>\n<p>Often, yes, if your surgeon agrees and the total operating time remains reasonable. Combined procedures usually mean a stay of eight to ten days and a recovery set by the heavier of the two.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a facelift in Tunisia safe if I have high blood pressure?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if your blood pressure is well controlled before and after surgery, because high blood pressure increases the risk of a haematoma. Bring recent readings and your list of medicines to the consultation.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to stop my weight-loss injection before surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Not always, but you must declare it. Current anaesthesia guidance allows most patients to continue, while some need to pause or follow a liquid diet the day before. The team will decide based on your dose and symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3>Will my Swiss insurer pay for the breathing part of my rhinoplasty in Tunisia?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Planned treatment abroad is not reimbursed by basic insurance. The functional part might be covered in Switzerland with prior approval.<\/p>\n<h3>When is the best time of year for facial surgery in Tunisia?<\/h3>\n<p>Many patients choose autumn, winter or early spring, when the sun is less intense and scars are easier to protect. It also fits well with the Swiss winter, when hats and scarves are normal.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I fly home with stitches?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes, for stitches that dissolve or that your GP can remove. Most facial stitches are removed during the stay. The surgeon&rsquo;s authorisation to fly is part of the package.<\/p>\n<h3>How soon will people notice I had surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Bruising after eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty is usually discreet after two weeks. After a facelift, plan three weeks before social events. Most people then simply say you look rested.<\/p>\n<h3>Is facial fat grafting permanent?<\/h3>\n<p>The part of the fat that survives the first months tends to stay, but it changes with your weight. A second session is sometimes needed to reach the desired volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facelift and neck lift, otoplasty, genioplasty and
