Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery combines medical expertise with aesthetic insight and functional restoration. At Doktershuis Antverpia, you can go for plastic surgery consultations, where together we thoroughly discuss your question, expectations and medical context. The consultation is the starting point of a careful process. Most surgical procedures are performed in a hospital setting, in collaboration with recognised plastic surgeons. At Doktershuis Antverpia we focus on advice, preparation, indication and follow-up. Only certain limited treatments can take place locally.

Plastic surgery consultation - what does it involve?
During the consultation, we take ample time to discuss your request for help and motivation, evaluate your medical history and any contraindications, and carefully analyse anatomical possibilities and limitations. We outline realistic expectations and explain possible treatment options in an objective manner. In doing so, you will receive a clear and honest explanation of what is feasible, what risks are involved and which course of treatment is best for you. Consultation, advice, non-surgical treatments and follow-up take place at Doctor's House Antverpia. Surgical procedures are carried out in a hospital environment and can, in certain cases, take place on an outpatient basis, without admission. Safety, sterile conditions and an appropriate medical framework are always key here.
Anamnesis
During the medical history, the doctor asks specific questions about your symptoms, medical history, medication and any conditions in your family. This gives us a complete picture of your health situation and allows us to examine and treat you in a more targeted way.
Clinical research
The clinical examination is a physical examination in which the doctor examines you using standard medical techniques such as inspection, auscultation (listening), palpation (feeling) and percussion (tapping). This helps recognise abnormalities and assess your general health.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart. It is a simple and painless test that allows detection of cardiac arrhythmias or abnormalities in cardiac conduction. The ECG also helps detect other heart problems such as oxygen deprivation or scarring after a heart attack.
Holter monitoring
In Holter studies, you wear a small device that continuously records your heart rhythm for 24 to 48 hours. This allows us to detect cardiac arrhythmias that may not be visible on a standard ECG. This method provides a realistic picture of your heart activity during your daily activities.
Cycling test
The cycling test, also called exercise test, examines how your heart responds during gradual physical strain. Among other things, we measure heart rhythm, blood pressure and any symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. For example, we can detect oxygen deficiency or arrhythmias under exertion.
Echocardiography
With echocardiography, we make an image of the heart via sound waves. This is how we map the heart muscle, valves and pumping function. This technique is essential for detecting structural heart problems and monitoring the effect of treatment.
Blood pressure monitoring
In 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, we wear a portable meter that automatically records your blood pressure throughout an entire day and night. This gives us an accurate picture of your blood pressure in your daily life and allows us to better assess whether and what treatment is needed.
Lab tests
Blood and urine samples provide valuable information about your general health. Among other things, we examine kidney function, cholesterol, sugar levels, thyroid function, inflammation levels and hormones. These data help us detect abnormalities in time and initiate appropriate treatment.
Indications and treatment domains
Face & neckPlastic surgery can involve the face and neck, focusing on both aesthetic rejuvenation and functional correction, always respecting natural proportions. Indications may include excessive skin at the level of the eyelids, ageing of face and neck, asymmetry, volume loss or corrections after injury include. During the consultation, the emphasis is on thorough analysis, clear indication and discussion of possible treatment options. Breast surgeryBreast surgery can have an aesthetic, functional or reconstructive purpose. These include breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction, correction of shape or volume differences, complaints due to oversized breasts, treatments in men such as gynaecomastia, and reconstructive pathways after medical conditions. Guidance and preparation are done carefully, with the final intervention always taking place in a hospital context. Body correctionsIn addition, body corrections and limited, non-surgical procedures are also considered. Body contouring surgery may be considered for excess skin after weight loss, localised fat deposits or functional and aesthetic hindrance, each time after careful consideration during consultation. Non-surgical and limited interventionsCertain treatments do not require hospitalisation, such as botulinum toxin (Botox®) for wrinkles or muscle tension and earlobe surgery in case of stretching or tearing. These procedures have a short recovery time and can be scheduled after consultation at Doctor's House Antverpia.

We make targeted referrals to experienced surgeons and ensure proper medical follow-up. We guide you in your choice, but do not perform complex surgery outside a hospital context.
How does a plastic surgery consultation take place?
1. Intake & medical history
The consultation starts with a detailed discussion about your medical history, previous procedures, current complaints, medication use and personal expectations. This allows the doctor to get a full picture of your health, your situation and your goals, which is essential for safe and appropriate treatment advice.
2. Clinical research
A thorough physical examination is then performed, focusing on the specific area being treated. This is done carefully and structured to understand the cause of your complaint or desire and identify any additional factors or risks.
3. Diagnosis and treatment plan
Based on the examination, the doctor clearly explains the findings and discusses possible follow-up steps with you. A personal treatment plan is drawn up, tailored to your situation and expectations. This may include non-surgical treatments, minor interventions, advice on preparation and aftercare, or-if necessary-referral to specialised surgery in a hospital setting.
