Facial plastic surgery is no longer taboo

Signs of ageing

In an ideal world, our skin stays firm and young looking. Unfortunately, this is not a reality and our skins loses elasticity. Sagging skin of the face and body can have several causes. Both genetic factors as other influences such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, stress, UV radiation and old age play a role.

Even if we avoid unhealthy diets, stress, smoking, etc., there is unfortunately nothing we can do about it. With age, the firmness of the skin decreases. Taking good care of our skin can slow down the ageing process somewhat, but not prevent it. When you suffer too much from sagging and drooping skin, plastic surgery is often the only solution.

A younger look thanks to a facelift

If you are a healthy person, you are eligible for a facelift. This treatment can be perfectly combined with other facial treatments to counteract the signs of ageing. A facelift makes you look younger, but it does not take away your individuality. You will become a better version of yourself. The people around you will definitely notice that you look better and well rested.

Different types of facelifts

Depending on your wishes and needs, there are different types of facelifts.

Mini-facelift

A mini-facelift is also known as an S lift or weekend facelift. This facelift is perfect if you want to get rid of hamster cheeks and a sagging jawline. It provides a rejuvenating effect on the cheeks. "Mini" refers to the very short recovery period and minimal scarring. After a mini-facelift, you can resume your daily activities within a week.

A mini-facelift has a lifelong effect. This treatment does not stop the natural ageing process, but it does make you look ten years younger immediately.

MACS facelift

MACS is the abbreviation for Minimal Access Cranial Suspension, which means:

• Small scars
• Lift or suspension of the tissues towards the crown
• Fixation with multiple, strong and permanent sutures

This facelift provides a long-lasting lift with invisible scars. The sagging skin on your neck, double chin and cheeks is corrected subcutaneously. If necessary, we remove a small amount of skin. Because this treatment is done in a vertical way, we obtain a very natural result. Your face does not look as if it has been tightened.

SMAS facelift

The abbreviation SMAS stands for the subcutaneous tissue that weighs more than the skin itself. The weight causes the skin to become weaker. Lifting and tightening the tissue makes the skin smoother. We only remove the excess skin after the lifting and fixation of the SMAS. This ensures the skin is sutured without tension and the face does not look as if it has been tightened. This procedure can also be combined with a neck lift. It ensures rejuvenation with a very natural result.

A neck correction or neck lift for more beautiful contours

Not only the face, but also the neck quickly shows signs of ageing. Sagging skin, wrinkles and folds appear. A neck lift or neck correction is the ideal way to give this part of your body more beautiful and slender contours.

Different types of neck surgery

There are different types of neck surgery, but it is always a customised treatment. During the first consultation, the doctor will carry out a professional check of the tissue. We then discuss the results you can expect.

Platysmaplasty

A correction of the neck muscles is a solution if only the front part of the neck is sagging. This results in two vertical folds from the chin to the collarbone. In that case, an extensive neck lift is not necessary. During platysmaplasty, we do not remove any skin. The platysma muscles are pulled tight at the front of the neck, to ensure the folds disappear.

SMAS correction

The SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) is tissue connected to the platysma muscles in your neck. This correction is combined with a neck lift and removal of excess skin. The drooping SMAS tissue and muscles weigh on your skin, causing it to droop.

Liposuction

If you have excess fat around your chin and neck, liposuction may be the solution. Neck liposuction is often combined with a facelift, platysmaplasty or a SMAS lift. However, liposuction alone can give you a beautiful result. A double chin can make you look fatter than you actually are. After neck liposuction, your skin becomes tighter and firmer.

A fresher look through eyelid correction

As we age, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity. This can cause drooping eyelids, a tired look, puffiness, wrinkles or even drooping eyebrows. An eyelid correction is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments on the face. You immediately look fitter and less tired.

Upper and/or lower eyelid correction

When you have excess skin around your eyes, it can be very distracting. It can even block your vision or give you a headache. An eyelid correction removes excessive skin and fat. It is a relatively minor cosmetic procedure and does not require a great deal of effort. It does, however, have a major effect on your appearance. An eyelid correction can be done of the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids or a combination of both.

A rhinoplasty adjusts the size or shape

If the size or shape of your nose bothers you, it can have a huge impact on your self-confidence. The nose determines the appearance of the entire face. If you are unhappy with it, a rhinoplasty might be the solution. Every nose is different, which is why our surgeon always uses an individual approach. A rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, makes your nose fit with the rest of your face by changing its size or shape. You will discuss the details and expectations of the treatment with the doctor during the first consultation.

Cosmetic dental surgery for a radiant smile

Are you ever embarrassed when you laugh? If so, it can have a big influence on your self-confidence. By performing cosmetic dental surgery and dentistry, we can ensure you will love your smile again.

Different kinds of treatments

Depending on your wishes and needs, different treatments are possible. Together, we will look for the treatment that suits you best.

Dental implants

If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants can provide a solution. Over the years, aesthetic dentistry has evolved tremendously. Dental implants have become much more natural these days, so you will not even notice the difference between real teeth and dental implants. During this treatment, an artificial tooth, also called the dental implant, is placed in the root canal of the missing tooth. The dental implant consists of titanium, looks like a screw and is the same size as a natural tooth. Details about dental implants and the course of treatment are discussed during a consultation with one of our specialised dentists.

Dental crowns

Dreaming of a radiant smile? Then dental crowns are the ideal solution for you. Thanks to dental crowns, you can enjoy beautiful natural and white teeth that perfectly match the proportions of your face, lips and jaw. The dental crowns are made of zirconium, are very thin and fit perfectly into the gums. This ensures the shape and surface of your teeth appear natural. First, one of our dentists places a temporary dental crown over your teeth. The permanent dental crowns are then manually made to measure in our laboratory. You will receive more information about the course of the treatment during a consultation with one of our specialised dentists.

Click denture

A click denture is the perfect solution if you are tired of your loose denture or if you have few or no good teeth left. The procedure quickly leads to an improvement in both comfort and quality of life. The advantage of click dentures is that they are permanent and there is no noticeable difference between real teeth and click dentures. This procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthetic. First, the denture is made to measure, on 4 or 6 implants. The dentist then places a temporary dental arch within two days. Six months to one year after the procedure, the permanent dental arch can be placed. You can discuss the exact course of the treatment with the dentist.
