Meet the team
Behind every treatment is a dedicated team of specialists with a passion for aesthetics and well-being. Our two plastic surgeons and aesthetic physician combine knowledge, experience, and an eye for detail to provide you with the highest quality care. Get to know them better below.
Dr. Patrick Tonnard
Plastic surgery has never been just a matter of appearance for me. It’s about balance, proportion, and how someone feels in their own skin. For more than thirty years, I’ve been guiding people who consciously choose to restore that balance, not to change who they are, but to rediscover themselves.
What fascinates me is the combination of science, precision, and human understanding. Every patient has a story. My task is to understand that story, translate it into a realistic possibility, and carry out what is meaningful with knowledge and care.
I don’t believe in trends or in the pursuit of perfection. Perfection doesn’t exist, and those who chase it often drift further away from themselves. My goal is quite the opposite: to help someone regain harmony with who they truly are.
A good procedure restores what was always there, but has faded over time or due to circumstances: natural expression, vitality, harmony. That requires sensitivity, anatomical knowledge, and the courage to sometimes say that less is better, or that doing nothing is the right choice.
I work precisely, listen attentively, and say what I mean. People appreciate me for my honesty and directness, and the feeling is mutual. Trust begins with clarity, not with promises. I believe in results that look natural, in proportions that make sense, and in decisions that empower people, not make them more dependent.
For me, a result is only truly successful when someone recognizes themselves again in what they see.
Dr. Alexis Verpaele
Dr. Alexis Verpaele believes beauty is deeply personal. He sees it not as a surface goal, but as a reflection of how someone feels inside.
His calm, thoughtful approach creates space for people to speak openly — sometimes about things they’ve carried quietly for years. He doesn’t rush. He listens deeply. And he knows that a small shift on the outside can sometimes unlock something powerful on the inside.
Alexis is known for his eye for natural, balanced results. But what truly defines him is his care. His work is rooted in kindness, clarity, and a genuine desire to help people feel more like themselves. He’s not here to impress — he’s here to understand. And when someone walks out of his care feeling lighter, more confident, more seen — that’s what fulfills him most.
DR. ILSE VAN RENTERGHEM
With more than 25 years of experience in aesthetic medicine, I have the privilege of working every day to enhance the natural beauty and self-confidence of my patients. As an aesthetic physician, I perform all non-surgical treatments within our center. My focus is always on achieving natural, rejuvenating results, using the latest techniques and technologies.
Over the years, I have developed a wide range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments aimed at refining facial proportions and enhancing natural expression, never at changing it. Whether it’s Botox, fillers, or other aesthetic procedures, my approach is always subtle and focused on maintaining a fresh, youthful appearance.
I believe it is important that every patient feels heard. That’s why I take the time to discuss the treatment plan together and communicate clearly about the expected results. Patients often describe me as someone with whom they immediately feel at ease.
For me, the true meaning of my work lies not in the treatment itself, but in what follows: the quiet confidence that returns to someone’s eyes, the gentle smile that reappears. That special moment when someone thinks, “I feel like myself again,” is, to me, the greatest compliment.
The books behind
their vision
Dr. Tonnard and Dr. Verpaele combine years of experience with thoughtful analysis and continuous refinement of their techniques, delivering results that are both natural and harmonious.
In addition to their scientific publications, they released “Wat als ik mijn gezicht verlies?”, a patient-friendly version of their book "Centrofacial Rejuvenation", which explains in an accessible way how Dr. Tonnard and Dr. Verpaele work.
