One of my biggest motivations for studying medicine was being able to help patients. During my internships, including in Tanzania, and through my hobbies, I discovered how valuable it is to use my practical skills for others. This is now fully reflected in my work as a plastic surgeon.
What appeals to me most about aesthetic plastic surgery is the opportunity to help people realize their long-cherished desires for a change in shape. For me, that process starts with honest and clear information. It is important that you as a patient are well informed about what is possible, but also about the limitations, so that you can make the right choice. With years of experience, especially in the field of breast and abdominal corrections, I have built up a great deal of expertise. This knowledge enables me to perform procedures that are not only aesthetically but also technically challenging – something I really enjoy.
I get special satisfaction from performing operations on patients who have lost a lot of weight. These types of corrections require a lot of surgical skill and precision, and it feels good to know that I can help them feel completely comfortable in their own bodies again. It is often the grateful patients I meet years later who show me how much impact these operations have had on their lives. That makes my work special.
I am happy that I have found my place at the Boerhaave Clinic, where the interests of the patient and a good result always come first. Here there is room for honest advice and tailor-made care.
If you are considering undergoing cosmetic surgery, you are most welcome for a no-obligation consultation. Together we will look at what suits you best.

I live with my wife Irene in Gelderland. We have 3 children. In my spare time I enjoy sports (running and rowing) and often do crafts at home. I also like to spend my free time in the Gelderland nature.
