Very good and caring surgeon
The reason why I chose Dr. van der Dussen after a longer research:
1) First of all I wanted a surgeon who is experienced which he absolutely is.
2) Secondly, I wanted a cranio maxillo facial surgeon who knows the human face and its bone structure inside out.
3) Now we come to the most important point:
As Beverly Hills beauty surgeon Francis Palmer rightly remarked the problem about cheek augmentations isn't the difficulty of the procedure. The skills you need are moderate, of course you need the right training and education, but that's it. The bigger problem is: Most surgeons don't know what they are doing, they don't have an eye for the proportions of the face, for the ideal of beauty they are searching to create. That's why many results aren't as good as they could be, because surgeons don't chose the right implants or don't understand sufficiently what exactly they should change about the face.
Norman van der Dussen is one of the leading experts in Europe as regards feminization surgery. What has this to do with a cheek augmentation in a male face? Well, everything! Dr. van der Dussen has an absolute eye for what makes a female and a male face beautiful, where the small differences lie! Some surgeons operate a male face as if it was a female one thereby creating e.g. too round cheeks. Van der Dussen has a very good understanding for the overall beauty of a face and the gender differences.
I wasn't dissapointed in my choice. First as regards attitude Dr. van der Dussen is a very modest man who tries his best to make his patients happy and that is a very good attitude for an aesthetic surgeon. He has a no [RS bleep] approach to surgery and tells you exactly what he thinks must be done and what can be achieved and what not. His assistant in the Singelberg Clinic is a very nice person and I always felt welcome. The surgery happens in a central regional hospital where everything is at hand in case of need. The staff there was very friendly and helpful as well.
The result is really good, my face has a nice flow. Van der Dussen didn't just insert one cheek implant, but several smaller ones in order to guarantee optimal proportions. I can highly recommend him and his team.
