Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery

The goal of plastic surgery is to help patients feel better about their appearance, increase their self-confidence and correct functional problems that may affect their daily lives. It is important to note that plastic surgery, especially aesthetic surgery, is a personal choice and not always medically necessary. A plastic surgeon ensures that the finish of a procedure is as beautiful as possible, where unlike other procedures, the focus on the finish is less present. A person may choose to have a mole, for example, removed by a plastic surgeon in order to see as little of it as possible afterwards.

Frequently asked questions about dermatology

Does plastic surgery hurt?

Anesthesia is used during treatment, so you will not experience pain. After treatment, you may experience some discomfort, such as swelling or tenderness. The degree of this will vary from treatment to treatment. Your doctor will inform and guide you about this.

How long does recovery take after plastic surgery?

Recovery varies by procedure and person. Some procedures require a shorter recovery time, while others may take a longer time. Our plastic surgeon will give you specific recovery advice.

How long do the results of plastic surgery last?

This depends on the treatment. Some results, such as eyelid surgery, are long-lasting. While other treatments, such as fillers, need to be repeated over time to maintain the effect.

Are plastic procedures covered by health insurance?

Plastic surgery for medical complaints can be (partially) reimbursed by health insurance. For cosmetic surgery, this is usually not the case. Usually the health insurance will only reimburse an intervention when it has a medical cause. Ask your insurer about the possibilities.

In some cases we cannot submit the invoice for plastic surgery to your insurance, but you will be reimbursed for the costs if you submit the invoice yourself. You will be informed if this is the case.
