How do you choose the right clinic for plastic surgery?

There are many clinics for plastic surgery in the Netherlands that you can turn to. But how do you choose the best clinic? And what exactly does ‘the best clinic for plastic surgery’ mean? Is it the expert staff, the positive experiences of others, the personal approach, or do you mainly look at the standard of hygiene in the clinic? At Boerhaave, we consider all of these aspects important. In this blog, we are happy to tell you why.

Personal treatment

For many people, undergoing a plastic surgery procedure is an intense and demanding experience. Sometimes not the procedure itself, but the process or the decision leading up to the treatment. That is why at Boerhaave we believe it is important to approach everyone who comes to us as a unique patient. Everyone is unique, with a personal wish. A wish that we treat with great care and that we examine closely together with the client. We discuss the possibilities of the wish someone expresses, but also the limitations. In this way we create realistic expectations, and we carry them out with the greatest possible care. With an eye for detail and for the overall picture of the individual expressing the wish.

Expert plastic surgeons

If you decide to undergo a treatment, it is a good idea to check whether the treating plastic surgeon is a member of the Dutch Society for Plastic Surgery (NVPC) and the Dutch Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (NVEPC). This means they meet the high quality standards these societies set for them. It also means they have committed themselves to always keeping up to date with the latest developments in aesthetic plastic surgery. They are among the leaders in their field and can always inform you fully about the things that matter to you. The possibilities for meeting your wishes, but also what is not possible. At Boerhaave Clinic, all plastic surgeons are members of the NVPC and the NVEPC. This is a requirement we set for all our plastic surgeons.

Standard of hygiene

If you decide to undergo a treatment, it is also wise to look at and ask about the hygiene within the medical centre. Contracting an infection can have serious consequences during and after an operation. During the consultation, ask for example whether the clinic has a class 1 operating theatre. These operating theatres have taken extra measures to prevent postoperative wound infections. For example, by guaranteeing high air quality and creating a sterile set-up area. Boerhaave has two class 1 operating theatres.

Appreciation from our clients

We cannot say that one aspect is more important to us than another. But the feedback from our clients is enormously important to us. We are there for them day and night. Before, during and after the treatment. And that is why we are especially proud of the ratings our clients give our clinic. But perhaps even more important are the ratings the plastic surgeons at Boerhaave receive. These figures speak for themselves. That is no coincidence; quality is a conscious choice. It is not something that comes about by itself. It lies in the strict quality standards we impose on ourselves, and in the way we look at our clients.

Accessibility of Boerhaave Clinic

We are open 365 days a year from 07:00 to 22:00. And at least one plastic surgeon is present every day. Weekends included. This means we can always see and treat you on the day you prefer. In addition, we can also be reached outside opening hours for questions before and after your operation.

Come and get to know us, with no obligation

The best thing you can do to make the right choice is to visit the clinic in person. That way you experience for yourself how you are treated, what feeling the clinic gives you, and you can ask the plastic surgeon your own questions. We would also be happy to welcome you for an introductory meeting or a no-obligation and free consultation. We specialise in facelifts, nose corrections and breast augmentations. For lipofilling, tummy tucks, liposuction, eyelid correction and labia correction we are also the trusted address. And if you would prefer to be treated by a female plastic surgeon, that is of course also possible. For a first introduction to our plastic surgeons, take a look at their own pages, where they introduce themselves to you.
