The Worst Experience in my Life

The Worst Experience in my Life

Based on my persona firsthand experience doctor Bart Van der Ven is the worst person and also a doctor I met in my whole life. If I could go back in time and would have never gone to him. The surgery caused me lifelong medical issues, asymmetry of my face, and last but not least I lost thousands of euros. Therefore, I do not recommend doctor Bart to anybody.

My reasoning behind the above: I undergone two surgeries with doctor Bart. The first one was the main one after which I suffered constant headaches, had bulged forehead, and a certain bumpiness and unevenness underneath my chin. The second surgery was a corrective one that to some extent corrected my forehead (there is still a soft tissue) and the pain has worn off. After this surgery, my chin is more uneven and asymmetric than it was before the corrective surgery. Moreover, doctor Bart damaged my nerves beyond saving or even improving near my chin and jaw even though he ensured me that this was a very tiny and low risk operation. After telling him I only want the surgery on my chin if it is a low-risk operation and if it was to be risky, I would have not undergone it. 

After the corrective surgery I turned to doctor Bart with some questions I had only to be dismissed without any answers and boing told I was annoying. Following this, when I demanded answers to my questions about the surgery, he told me, and I quote now “[RS bleep]”. During my four months after the surgery consultation, he acted with the same attitude, shouted at me and my partner, and yet again told me to [RS bleep]. No one has ever acted this way towards me in my whole life. I went home after this without any answers to my questions.

Looking back to why I turned to doctor Bart in the first place, my main reason was money, early availability of surgery, and also the modeling when the doctor told me upon our meeting that the result should be very similar to the modeling on-screen he showed me. Unfortunately, the final result is completely different from and far off of the modeling. When I asked doctor Bart why is it so much different he said I should be glad it has not gone worse than this. Financially the surgery including the correction was not much cheaper and I will have complications for the rest of my life.

The fact that doctor Bart has not used my before and after pictures for promotion of his work even though I gave him my permission he could just show that the surgery has not gone well in visual respect

Hi Marta,

As we have already said on all your other negative reviews (on all kinds of platforms) we are sorry to hear you are not satisfied and that it wasn’t a match for you surgeon wise.

As for the photos, in a private message on social media you requested not to use your photos which we respected? If you wish to have them published on our website we can do that. But it seems strange to us to do this, while you yourself indicate that you are not satisfied.

Kind regards,
The 2pass Clinic team
Hello, you can post the pictures if you want. Sadly it is not biggest problem - the biggest problem is my nerve damage. Can you imagine how I feel, if I suffer every day by pain?
You can use pictures, but I understand, it is wierd, when I am not happy. Second thing - I tried very much to make my relationship with Dr. Bart ok. I wrote him several emails, but he ognore me. So yes, I wrote my negative experience to all other platforms. I didnt write any lie, simply facts, which If I would know before surgery, I would never go to Dr. Bart. And not because of the surgery failed, but mostly because of his attitude. I think it is normal to ask questions, when I pay you for surgery.
Where is the nerve damage?
@weiwuxian you told them!
I told them what?

I hope this helps to clarify.
