Het resultaat is heel natuurlijk en ik ben er nog iedere dag blij mee.
Dr. van der Veen legde alles heel goed uit en stelde mij op m’n gemak. Ook het team van de kliniek was heel vriendelijk.
Ik kan zowel Dr. van der Veen als de kliniek van harte aanbevelen.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I am very grateful I had decided on Dr. van der Veen to get my upper and lower eyelids (blepharoplasty) done. The whole process was very smooth, all my queries and concerns were either addressed by him or someone of this team in a very thorough and timely manner. The surgery itself was quick and painless and Dr van der Veen spent some extra time for fix a minor issue that he discovered during the surgery. After nearly six weeks after the surgery I can hardly believe how much not only my appearance has changed but also my peripheral vision. Even better I do not get headaches anymore since the constant lifting of my eyebrows to see better is now a thing of the past.
For me it was not only a plastic surgery but also a huge improvement in my health / daily life. And the results show that it was the best idea to trust Dr van der Veen with this procedure.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I had an upper eyelid correction surgery with Dr. Rob Van Der Veen in Barcelona. He understood my concern and explained me all different surgical options very well and answered all my questions thoroughly regarding the upcoming procedure. He is a very skilled surgeon and he pays extra attention to little details that will optimize the final result. He is also personable and amiable in nature which made me feel at ease before and after the procedure. I am highly satisfied with my result and I highly recommend him if you are looking to have oculoplastic surgery or related consultation.
