Facial Surgery | Dr. Maarten Van Genechten

One facelift per day, the luxury of complete dedication

We believe that quality takes time. That is why we perform only one facelift per day. This means complete focus from the entire team, from the first incision to the last suture. No packed surgical schedule, no rushed procedures, but undivided attention for you and your face.

A serene environment

An anonymous hospital environment, a waiting room full of ill patients, public parking garages and operating rooms used for all kinds of procedures. These are circumstances that do not match the precision and attention that a facelift requires. A facelift deserves a warm, discreet and serene environment, where all expertise is focused entirely on one goal: your face.

Dr. Van Genechten traveled across Europe, the United States and Australia for years to learn from the most prominent surgeons in the world. From each practice and each technique, he selected the finest elements and brought them together in Antwerp, at Catershoek. The result is a methodology refined down to the last detail to offer the best possible facelift experience, from surgery to recovery.

Privacy is paramount

At Catershoek, privacy is paramount. Our facilities are designed to accommodate and care for you with the utmost discretion.

The entrance is completely shielded from the view of neighbors or passersby, and you can park your vehicle safely in an enclosed parking area.
For additional discretion, we offer a shuttle service that can take you home after your procedure, so no one has to know you had a procedure performed.
Patients never encounter one another, allowing you to relax completely without worrying about curious glances.

A surgical team coordinated down to the smallest detail

Our surgical team has been working together for years, with the same experts at the table every time. Each team member has been personally selected, not only for their expertise, but also for their compassionate, respectful approach. This collaboration guarantees an exceptional level of care and consistency. The anesthesiologists work with the most advanced techniques.

This shortens recovery time and minimizes discomfort such as nausea after the procedure. Every detail has been carefully considered. Nothing is left to chance.

The strictest medical standards

Catershoek Surgical Center is designed in accordance with the strictest medical standards, with state-of-the-art technology on par with the finest international clinics. From sterile air filtration systems to high-end anesthesia equipment, every investment has been made with one single goal: a safe, controlled and comfortable surgical experience.

Complementary treatments

Postoperatively, you can be supported with modern recovery methods, such as mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy and LED light treatments, to reduce swelling and accelerate the healing process.

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) provides increased oxygen absorption in all cells of the body, including the skin, muscles, brain and organs.

This therapy stimulates cell renewal, reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery after a facelift or other surgical procedures.

Lymphatic Drainage and Lymphatic Massage

After a facial procedure, it is normal for the face to retain fluid and for swelling to occur. Our lymphatic drainage massage helps drain excess fluid, reduces inflammation and promotes the healing process.

This treatment can be applied immediately after the procedure and is fully tailored to your recovery.

Recovery with LED light therapy

With near-infrared LED therapy, we offer a method for cell renewal, pain relief and improved blood circulation.

This non-invasive technology uses LED lights to deliver energy that penetrates deep into the skin and supports the healing process.

Hydration with IV therapy

Intravenous (IV) nutritional therapy provides direct administration of vitamins, minerals and fluids via the bloodstream. This ensures faster absorption and effective hydration, which is essential for the recovery process after surgery.

Our medical professionals create a personalized IV plan based on your specific recovery needs.
