Singelberg Clinic

I had a breast reduction with Dr Oelbrandt 3 weeks ago and my experience with him has been amazing right from the start. On the first consultation, he explained everything to me from A to Z, I came in with a list of questions and they got answered before I even got to ask them. The surgery itself went really well and he listened to what I wanted. Every time I worried about something(this being my first surgery) he made sure to reassure me. My results are amazing as well. He is a great surgeon with a big heart and I recommend him a million times.

I had my breast augmentation/UPLIFT 5 years ago with Dr Oelbrandt and I have never regretted my decision. I also had Rhinoplasty in Aug 2019 and he was the only surgeon I would choose to perform this procedure. He is both honest and professional. Dr O gives you a realistic view as to what can be done. If your looking for a surgeon who performs natural results then look no further. We travelled from London to Belgium and all communication from Dr O and his team was flawless! Such as easy road trip. The cost was more than affordable and you can see that Dr O is not there to make you feel like another statistic, he is there to give you the confidence you are looking for.

He recommends a hotel just across the road from the clinic, giving you the ease of use especially after your procedure. 5-star service!

Consultations can be done by Skype or in London, again never ever felt pressurised. Dr O knows exactly what will suit you and never gives you false hope. I did my consultations face to face in London. His communication by email is also fantastic and always responds.

The Singleberg clinic is absolutely stunning, clean & professional. All nurses and anaesthetists are so calming. Its location is perfect, near the shops and a hotel. If your looking for a clinic and surgeon, look no further. You will not be disappointed! A very happy client!

I chose Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen to perform my chin surgery (reduce the vertical height and feminize to create a more V shape) as after much research he seemed to have the most experience and qualifications for this procedure.

With this type of surgery, it is very important to choose a surgeon who specialises in this area. Dr NVDD is a craniomaxillofacial and aesthetic surgeon which means he has a great understanding of how to manage both the bone and soft tissue for the best outcome.
I would advise against going with a surgeon who offers hundreds of different procedures as they may not have the knowledge required to avoid possible problems such as loss of sensation in the face/skin sagging.

Consultation:
Dr NVDD holds monthly consultations in London, which I attended. Dr NVDD is very friendly, and I could soon tell that he totally understood what I needed/wanted changing with the appearance of my chin. It was such a relief to finally have someone understand what my issues were and he gave me total confidence that he knew how to achieve my desired look.

Patient:
From the moment of the first email inquiring about this procedure until the present day, my experience was fantastic. Dr NVDD's assistant was very friendly, helpful and answered any questions that I had. She really helped to make the whole experience as stress-free as possible.

Travel:
The assistant of Dr NVDD provided me with a comprehensive list of travel instructions/tips, so getting to the clinic in Belgium was no problem. For those travelling for this procedure, I highly recommend staying at the Notarishuis Beveren B&B as it is a 1-minute walk away from the clinic and owned by the wife of one of the other surgeons at the clinic. They were very helpful and it was nice to know they were used to hosting guests who were travelling for surgery.

Hospital:
As I had a general anaesthetic, my surgery took place in a local hospital. It was very clean and modern and the staff were warm, kind and competent.

Surgery:
The day of my surgery was as stress-free as possible! Dr NVDD came to see me before surgery, he was so kind and reassuring, I almost felt like a family member of his. I had virtually no pain after the procedure. After I came round from the anaesthetic I remember touching my lips and lower face to check I still had sensation, and I was so happy when I did. I know this can be a concern with this surgery due to the 'mental nerve' becoming severed, but Dr NVDD took careful planning with x-rays beforehand and assured me he doesn't take risks when cutting near this nerve. Within 1-2 weeks I had regained full sensation in my lower face and lips.

Results:
I am now nearly 4 months post op and so far I am very happy with my results. It has made a significant difference to my appearance and I am feeling so happy that the results were just how I had hoped they would be! I am really glad I went through with this surgery, even though it is a pretty daunting thought to have bone removed from your chin.

For those considering this procedure, I would highly encourage you to only go with a craniomaxillofacial and aesthetic surgeon like Dr NVDD, it simply isn't worth the risk of damaging the look/function of your face by going with a surgeon who doesn't specialise in this area. Very happy I found this doctor, and I highly recommend him!

I had a cheek augmentation with Dr. Norman van der Dussen. I had the impression my face looked a little gloomy and disproportionate and figured out it had something to do with the shape of my cheeks.

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 bullshit 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.

Im a Swedish MTF going thru the journey of Transitioning.
I have been on hormones for a while, but my face was still way too masculine to be able to pass in public.
I Previously had Rhinoplasty and a chin reduction in Scandinavia to try to Feminize my face, but it didn't turned out very good so I decided to go for a Professional in Facial Feminization.
I also had a previous jaw surgery in Sweden to correct an overbite, which gave me an even manlier jawline.
After a lot of research and consultations I went for The Singelberg Clinic and Dr Van der Dussen.

The consultation was really good. I had some mail contact before with his assistant Marije, who has been taking care of the booking and traveling instructions etc. I also got some drawings on what we were aiming.

My chin was very masculine and square, so the Doctor had to do a sliding genioplasty to remove a lot of bone and also move the chin as It was assymetric before.
Turned out this was a challenging operation as they had to work under a nerve, so I'm happy I choose someone experienced for this.
The nose had an "open roof deformity" and bad scaring from the previous surgery and was also way too masculine for a transgendered woman.

It took me some time to heal, and although I consider myself being a stable person mentally, I must admit that I was a bit depressed during the healing period with the swelling and bruising . It just takes time before the swelling goes away and the result shows up.

Now one year later, I look much more feminine and with the help of hormones things are finally staring to shape up. I still have the adam's apple, some hair removal and I don't even wanna think about the lower surgeries...but i'm definitely on the right track.
Overall Im very happy that I went down to Belgium for this.

Dr Noorman van der Dussen certainly knows his art. He seems to know how much to take to balance things out without making it unnatural or plastic. Looking at his resume I felt like this was one of the better guys in Europe. He is also very easy to communicate with over the internet thanks to his secretary who responds very quick by mail. The clinic is clean and nice without being over-designed which felt good. The walls is covered by diplomas and degrees ( rather than hyped advertisement for fillers and products etc, which is too common in Scandinavia these days) I had my surgery in Sint Jozef Hospital which is a full equipped hospital with a full Narcosis team. The staff was great and very helpful, putting on ice on the swelling and came in to check on me and I never felt left alone. I stayed at hotel De Notelaer after I left the hospital and they actually gave me the top Suit to heal up in although I had only booked a single room. It was really nice as it gave me some privacy being all swollen and blue. Bornem is a very nice town/village and I felt totally safe walking there and the people are friendly and down to earth. I would strongly recommend the Singelberg Clinic and Dr Noorman van Der Dussen.

I wanted to write this review to reflect how happy I am with the work Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen carried out for me and to help others considering cosmetic surgery.

I had a Rhinoplasty and Cheekbone graft with Dr Noorman and I can't thank him enough for giving me such amazing results.

Understandably, I was nervous to have the procedures done for many reasons. I was worried I would look completely different and the obvious worry is that something will go wrong! Truthfully, there was no need to worry. Dr Noorman is a true expert and did exactly what he said he would do!

Dr Noorman hasn't just given me the nose I have always dreamed of, he has given me the confidence I have always needed. I would shy away from photographs and I didn't have confidence meeting new people due to my hollow cheeks bones and curved nose, but now I can honestly say this isn't a problem for me anymore.

The money spent to correct my features is very little for the lifetime benefits I will receive from having surgery and I will be forever grateful to Dr Noorman.

Please, rest assured Dr Noorman is a true expert in his field and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to fiends and family.

Excellent, I have been throughly looked after.

I am 19 and I had saggy size (B) breasts. Firstly I had a uplift which I was very happy with. I then went for my second surgery where I had implants, and I couldn't be more happier with the outcome.

Singelberg Clinic is located in a lovely area, it is very clean and well kept. The staff in there are very friendly. I would like to thank Dr.Oelbrandt for everything he has done.

26 years old, Breast Uplift by Dr. Bert Oelbrandt done in August 2015.
Very happy with the procedure and my surgeon, love the outcome and would go back again if needs be. Highly recommended! Dr Bert kept in contact when I went back home and healed during the upcoming months via email to see how I was doing, the scars have decreased now and I am still putting my creams on them.
I would go back to him in heart beat if I ever needed anything done again.

I went to Belgium from Ireland to get the surgery, the surgery was a success and Dr Bert checked up on me the next day, I took three days after surgery to fly back and heal at home, its been 6 months now and my breasts look great! The scars are minimal and I am very very happy with the result! I have recommended the clinic and Dr Bart to my friends and family who are thinking of this surgery, it honestly is the best thing I could have done for myself and I would do it again in a heart beat.

I had gynecomastia for over 12 years. 10 year ago I had a first operation by a plastic surgeon almost 10 years ago, which in fact only did some liposuction in the breast area and not not really removal of the tissue. The result was never satisfying and the gyno tissue continued growing.

The recovery went very fast, after 2-3 days there was no more pain and after 1 week I could again almost do everything as normal. The results look already very good after 2 weeks.
Dr Oelbrandt is straightforward and passionate by his profession. The private clinic is comfortable and has a personal touch.

I would certainly recommend this clinic and Dr Oelbrandt!

I contacted Dr Oelbrandt after I'd been looking for a surgeon in Europe and he'd been recommended to me. I like the fact that he comes to London for consultations and his knowledge and experience is evident. He was very brutal in advising me that I needed to lose some more weight before undertaking a full tummy tuck with muscle strengthening. He set me a target before surgery and I did achieve this. If you are unsure I would recommend going to see him, he may not tell you want to you want to hear but he'll tell you what you need to hear. The operation cost me about £3,500 instead of about £6,500 if I'd have had this carried out in the UK. The operation has made a big difference to me and I'm so pleased that I decided to go for it and sort out my stomach area. It was a big decision to leave my family for the week and put myself first which is hard when you are a Mom. My children didn't want me to go and I knew there was always a risk associated with going on the operating table. It was a risk I decided to take and it's made a big difference to me and I am looking forward to the summer and being able to wear shorts! I chose this clinic as it was recommended and I could only find good reviews. I went to London and met Dr Oelbrandt and his PA Tahira, both are very professional and respond to any queries. I found my first appointment with Dr Oelbrandt very difficult as he was brutal about me needing to lose some more weight before the operation, but at least he didn't discount it completely because I'm not a bmi 25! Although it was a difficult first meeting I knew that I wanted him to do the operation and trusted him. I'm very glad that I did as it wasn't the easiest operation and he had to fix 3 small hernias whilst performing the tummy tuck. The results are phenomenal and I was definitely right to trust him.

At 45 years old, I have had lower eye bags for 10 years, which I could not solve with face cream or early nights. This was my first time considering plastic surgery, so I was a nervous candidate. A friend from UK recommended Dr Oelbrandt to me. Before the procedure I had two consultations with him. (I live in Belgium). I explained that I didn't want to look 'really different', I just wanted my lower eye bags gone. Dr Oelbrandt is passionate about his profession, he listened to my concerns and gave me personalised, honest and realistic advice/answers. The procedure lasted 1 hour, I did not need painkillers afterwards, just lots of rest during the healing process (10-12 days). I'm very glad that I chose Dr Oelbrandt. It's a relief to wake up in the morning looking fresh.

Singelberg Clinic is quiet, clean and easily accessible by train from Brussels. I wanted a discreet place and it was very discreet. Dr Oelbrandt met me at reception. Confidentiality was respected at all times.
