About T.H.J. van de Kar, M.A.

Drs. Th.H.J. van de Kar is a highly experienced plastic surgeon. Born in Amsterdam in 1959, he grew up in Maastricht and is now back in Amsterdam. He studied medicine in Liège and Rotterdam and later trained as a plastic surgeon in Utrecht, Strasbourg, and Rotterdam.
He has been registered as a plastic surgeon since 1995. Plastic surgeon Van de Kar spent the early part of his career performing highly complex academic plastic surgery at the Academic Hospital in Rotterdam and the Academic Hospital in Maastricht. He then spent many years practicing the field in a very broad capacity at one of the largest teaching hospitals for specialized clinical care (Zuyderland MC Heerlen) and went on to further specialize in aesthetic surgery. To pursue this specialization, he chose the Boerhaave Clinic as the ideal setting for providing comprehensive care to his patients undergoing aesthetic surgery.
He brings his experience with enthusiasm to a clinic where he can fully focus on achieving the desired aesthetic results for his patients.”Expertise and surgical skill form the foundation of any surgery aimed at achieving a beautiful aesthetic result. A cosmetic procedure also requires a critical eye to determine what truly constitutes an improvement to a person’s face, appearance, or figure. Much is possible, though sometimes it is not; however, together we can make sound decisions about what will yield the best result. Listening carefully, providing clear explanations before surgery, and making choices together lead to the highest level of postoperative satisfaction. After all, one must first be a good advisor and only then a good surgeon. On the one hand, there is the patient’s wish, and on the other, the possibilities and techniques available in plastic surgery. My goal and challenge are to achieve the best possible outcome by drawing on every conceivable area of expertise. For the patient, it’s always about the desired final result.”
Breast surgery, tummy tucks, and facelifts are specific areas of expertise for Dr. van de Kar.
