#2 From Insta to procedures – episode 2 of De Plastische Chirurgie Podcast

In what is already the second episode of De Plastische Chirurgie Podcast, we dive into a topic we all come across every day: social media. The world of filters, picture-perfect images and endless comparisons – but also of inspiration, self-expression and empowerment. How does this online world influence our image of beauty? And even more importantly: what do plastic surgeons notice of this in the consulting room?

In this episode, Marit van Bohemen talks to social media expert and all-rounder Moïse Trustfull and drs. Caroline Verveld, plastic surgeon at Boerhaave Clinic. Together they discuss how social media can shape not only our beauty ideal, but also our wishes and expectations. Caroline shares her experiences from practice: does she see women being inspired more often by what they see online? And which trends arise from this?

Marit keeps the conversation sharp and candid, with questions that touch on both the power and the downside of social media. Because although platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have changed the way we look at ourselves, the conversation about real beauty is more important than ever.

Dé Plastische Chirurgie Podcast – honest conversations about real beauty

A lot is said, written and shared about plastic surgery. Online you will find countless opinions, before-and-after photos and stories – but what is truly reliable information? And where is nuance often missing?

That is why Boerhaave Clinic launched De Plastische Chirurgie Podcast: a series of candid conversations with doctors, experts and people with first-hand experience. We talk about trends, motivations and the stories behind the treatments. Without judgement, but with knowledge, experience and a healthy dose of honesty.
