What should I look out for when choosing a cosmetic clinic?

With even a small adjustment, you can experience a big change. Choosing the right clinic is therefore very personal; you naturally want to be sure that the treatment is performed professionally and accurately. It is also okay to be critical of this, after all, it is your body.

Nowadays, there are so many clinics offering cosmetic treatments. But what factors should you look out for?

A professional cosmetic clinic will give the right information about the treatment. The doctor will look on and give honest advice to achieve the best results. With the step-by-step plan below, we would like to help you on your way to the right practitioner.

Tip 1: Choose a clinic that is NVCG (Dutch Society of Cosmetic Medicine) certified.
This is an association for cosmetic medicine and aims to constantly improve the quality and education of medical cosmetic treatments.

Tip 2: Check out clinic experiences or reviews
Another person's experience can help you choose the right doctor. Even though your feelings are personal, you can make a good assessment of how someone works. Does he/she work very subtly or do you see clear contrast? You can check this at www.kliniekervaringen.nl or www.zorgkaartnederland.nl

Tip 3: Every body is unique
Before and after photos can give a good estimate of what the treatment will give. Please note that every body is unique. There is therefore little chance that you will get exactly the same result.

Tip 4: Schedule a (no-obligation) consultation
When you schedule a consultation (usually non-binding), you can get to know the doctor and get a better impression of the clinic. Be well informed and ask questions if necessary. Tip: It can be quite exciting, write down your questions so you don't forget anything. Think about before and after care, rest days and whether you need to be picked up after the treatment.

Tip 5: Cheap is expensive
Nowadays, more and more people are opting for treatment abroad, the most popular treatments being rhinoplasty, upper eyelid surgery or breast augmentation. This also has a downside. Clinics abroad work with different brands, the body may react to this. There may also be complications that you need to be able to go back immediately for a check-up, which is not always insured.

Quality comes with a price tag. Keeping prices low makes treatments attractive. But they don't say for nothing, cheap is expensive. In most cases, high prices mean better quality products, more experience and extra check-ups. Above all, don't be tempted.

Tip 6: Go with your gut
Choose a clinic you feel comfortable with. They should make you feel confident that you are in good hands. This applies from the moment you walk in to the moment you step out again. You are not obliged to schedule an appointment right away, just think about it, discuss it and call back later when you are sure what you want.
