Which clinic should I choose?

As many know, there are numerous clinics offering “eyelid corrections”, which one is the best?

Of course we believe that you can expect the best possible care and the most optimal result at Looks Clinics. However, this blog is not for that, there are a number of parameters that certainly count and we want to share that with you.

Quality parameters have been present since time immemorial, mostly by "hear and say" and "word of mouth" advertising are excellent ways to recommend clinics and practitioners. In the 20th century, and certainly in the current era in which we live, standards were often first established by professionals to assess treatments and practitioners more objectively. We should think of certification of medical specialists, sterilization standards, "aftercare" and accessibility.

When choosing a treatment, whether it is an eyelid correction or another (cosmetic) treatment, it is advisable to pay attention to a number of (main) factors.

First, find your future practitioner by reading reviews on, for example, kliniekervaringen.nl or zorgkaartnederland.nl. There you will find reliable reviews, these platforms do research, are verified and therefore do not just place a review online. Furthermore, the certification; you can easily check this with a clinic; are we dealing with an eye surgeon/plastic surgeon here or is it a basic doctor? This can provide clues about the knowledge/skills level of anatomy of the face.

In addition to the practitioner, it is important to look at where you will be treated, many clinics claim to have multiple locations; however, upon closer inspection, we often appear to be dealing with satellite clinics with 1 main clinic where all operations take place. This is not a desirable situation, because you still do not know where you will be operated on. Why is that important? The biggest factor for a successful procedure is a permanent team with a pleasant working atmosphere, strict protocols and a sterile working environment/operating room!

Aftercare! Perhaps the most important part, a respectable/reliable clinic has 24/7 accessibility with always the possibility to contact the practitioner in case of emergency. Aftercare conversations, cooling mask, scar cream are also important to ask for during the first consultation.

Last but not least; we as humans have a special sense, our “sixth sense” (gut feeling), the feeling must be safe and familiar. This is perhaps the most important parameter!
