Dr. med. Simon Zimmermann
Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery
For Dr. med. Zimmermann, specialisation means seeing what generalism might overlook.
Dr. med. Simon Zimmermann is a Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic surgery with a particular focus on aesthetic, functional and revision rhinoplasty. His work is centred on the face, where even subtle changes can influence expression, proportion and overall harmony.
For him, rhinoplasty is not about giving someone a different nose. It is about understanding the relationship between anatomy, function and the individual face, and refining what is already there. Surgical precision and aesthetic judgement work toward a single result: one that feels natural, balanced and unmistakably individual.
His commitment to specialisation extends beyond his own practice. Through regular international exchange and collaboration with leading surgeons, Dr. med. Zimmermann continuously develops his techniques and brings current approaches in modern rhinoplasty to Zurich.
He founded Clinic Selnau on the same belief: that the highest level of aesthetic surgery comes from focused expertise, not broad offering. It's a clinic built entirely around that idea.

Approach
Every treatment begins with a conversation.
Dr. med. Zimmermann takes the time to understand what a patient hopes to achieve, to study the individual anatomy in detail, and to define what is realistically possible, before any plan is made. Where it helps, 3D simulation and skin analysis are used so that expectations and outcome are aligned from the start.
The result is a plan that is as medically precise as it is aesthetically considered.
Philosophy
At Clinic Selnau, aesthetic surgery and medicine are approached less as a means of change, and more as a means of alignment, between appearance, function and how a person actually sees themselves.
Every treatment is planned with the same principle in mind: a result that respects the individual’s own features rather than imposing an ideal on them. Discretion, precision and close personal attention are not add-ons here. They are the foundation the clinic is built on.
Clinic Experience
Clinic Selnau was conceived as a calm, private environment for those who value time and discretion in equal measure.
Every space, from consultation room to operating theatre, is considered down to the material and the light, built to support focus rather than distract from it. Nothing about the journey feels rushed or generic.
Each consultation, each procedure, is shaped around the person it’s for, not a fixed template.
Every treatment begins with a conversation.
We take time to understand your expectations, analyse your individual anatomy, and define what is realistically achievable.
