My name is John de Kock.
I am officially still an Executive Lounge Host at the Hilton The Hague. But I have not worked after I was diagnosed with numerous diseases. My fat percentage is practically zero due to the required intake of medication.
I was referred to Drs. Tom van Eijk who works at the Esthetisch Centrum Jan Van Goyen in Amsterdam, which is part of the Medical Centre Jan van Goyen.
Drs. Tom van Eijk studied at the University of Nijmegen, the University of Amsterdam and the Academic Medical Centre.
I received several Sculptra treatments over a period of 6 months and the impact it had was more than skin deep.
It actually gave me back my “joie de vivre”.
So at 53 years, 1.76 m and 51 kg I looked like a malnourished person.
With clothes I could cover up my skinny body, but I could not cover the lines in my face.
So every day I was told by either family, friends, neighbors, colleagues or even people I met on the street, 'that I was so skinny and that I should eat more.' Without even asking me why I got so skinny or how I was doing.
It got up to a point that I did not want to leave my house, any more then necessary and I made all kind of excuses when I was invited for social events.
So I made an appointment with a plastic surgeon, who than referred me to Drs. Tom van Eijk.
Though the pictures speak for themselves, they are evidence that
he is a real miracle worker and the Michelangelo of this century.
I can not praise and thank Drs. Tom van Eijk enough for what he has done for me and the natural way he has done it.

It a few months after the last treatment. And though the 'swelling' reduces after a few days. My skin is getting firmer and tigher.

I want to start this post by saying that I have come a long way since my first treatment in the for the next appointment. beginning of 2017.
The results have surpassed all my expectations . It has not only made look better it has made me look younger and sort of healthy. It has also changed the stigma about the way a sick person is perceived to look like. I can say this because the HR manager of the company that worked for thinks that I have been faking my medical contains. After she saw photos that I had posted on social media.
I told my friends that I on top of all the medical conditions that I already have a new one has been diagnosed, 'The Benjamin Button Syndrome.'
It is my way of dealing with everything, I guess. Believe me I would have rather Pagina 2 van 3 Plaknotities 27-07-18 13:48 not be posting a review and updates and be in good health. My siblings all suggested that I should stop. Which I do understand but my medical conditions are still the same. I weigh 49 kg So I'm still extremely skinny. I have been advised a menu which has a total of 4500 cal., to prevent me from losing more weight.
So having this treatments does make my face look better and it balances out my self-esteem. So I have embraced this plan B. The frequency of treatments already have been reduced compared to the first year because my facial skin has gotten so much firmer. I guess that patience is something essential with this procedure.
In december of last year I had my last appointment with Dr Tom Pagina 3 van 3 Plaknotities 27-07-18 13:48 van Eijk. He suggested to add another sort injectable technique with hylaronic acid (Stylage) for the next appointment. This would enhance the effect of the Sculptura treatments. So with a big family event ahead I made an new appointment at the Jan van Goyen Esthetisch Kliniek.
There was an instant difference after the treatment there was even more volume in my face but is was subtle and looked so natural. I AM IN AWE. Dr Tom van Eijk is a genius, truly one of the best in this field of expertise. I may sound like a broken record, but can you blame me.
Thank you Dr. Tom van Eijk.
