“I listen without judging and try to fully empathize with the problem. Together we will find the best solution. ”

“I watch someone’s eyes. There you can see the beauty inside. Eyes reflect whether someone is feeling well. I listen without judging and try to fully empathize with the problem. Together we then come to the best solution. That solution must be beautiful and above all natural. It should not only look natural, it should feel that way. “

“For me, beauty is in a natural harmony where everything is in the right proportion. I bring back the harmony. By restoring a person’s youthful glow, the correct elasticity of the skin and underlying tissues, or by making the proportions right again. So that “inside” and “outside” correspond. “

Training and experience

I am educated and trained as a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon and I work as a staff member at the Amsterdam University Medical Center (AUMC) and as a plastic and regenerative surgeon at the Mittsu Institute in Amsterdam. At the AUMC I am the head of the “ScarClinic”, a clinic for abnormal scar formation.

In 1999 I obtained my PhD in Utrecht on a special form of scar formation.

In 2006 I moved to Amsterdam to work at the VUmc and the Jan van Goyenkliniek. I gained extra cosmetic experience in renowned clinics in Amsterdam, Antwerp, Buenos Aires, Bucharest, Bangkok, Tunis and Istanbul.

Specialisms

Nowadays I am involved in aesthetic as well as reconstructive cosmetic surgery, where I mainly specialize in the area of ​​the face and breasts. I combine academic research into scar formation and wound healing with research into lipofilling, capsular formation and autoimmune complaints. Because I am at home in a wide area, I have developed a sharp intuition for the right choice or application in an operation.

The feeling of harmony should be just right, both on the inside and outside. Therefore, the feeling of both body and mind should match. You should feel what you see, and vice versa. Only then you can really shine again.

I do surgery not only with my head and hands, but also with my heart.

 “I think it is important that the wishes and the feasibility of the result are discussed fairly.”

“What makes someone beautiful? What is attractive? What do you keep looking at? Beauty is not in perfection. Perfection is performed in the treatment or surgery. For me, beauty and appeal has to do with whether you feel comfortable with yourself. “

“I think it is important that all questions have been answered before the procedure, including those that you may not dare to ask. So that the wishes and feasibility of the result are discussed fairly. I want to inspire people to see that they can love who they are, with everything there is. “
