Benjamin Button Syndrome

John de Kock
WORTH IT

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.

Dear SabbyCeth,
Thank you for your kind reaction. And knowing that you exactly understand the meaning of my reviews is truly great.
The treatments make my face look better, but the medical conditions are permanent. It all may seem supervisual but at least my mirror does not confirm that I am sick when I am brushing my teeth.
And I do not have to talk about it everyday with everyone all the time. Which is something I am truly thankfull for.
God Bless.

Dear Steven,
Thank you for your comment. And my sincere Apology for this late reply.
I have had 5 treatments over a period of 1 year. I have waited to see what the Sculptura before I posted my review.
I'm still very pleased and thankfull with the results. The lines in my face that made me look skinny and sick are gone. My skin is firmer than before. It like a new lease on life.
Hopefully it will do the same for you.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
