A new season of the popular Dutch television programme RTL Verminkt is now available on Videoland. The programme follows people on their journey to correct disfiguring scars, injuries, or congenital conditions through reconstructive plastic surgery. Blooming Plastische Chirurgie has been involved in this important and moving series, which shines a light on the life-changing impact that reconstructive surgery can have. If you have not yet seen the programme, we highly recommend it — it offers a profound insight into what plastic surgery can do beyond aesthetics.
The second season of RTL 4 programme 'Verminkt' started on 24 April 2019 and Blooming is participating again!
In the seven episodes, we see how expert plastic surgeons, including those working at Blooming clinic, correct disfigurements resulting from failed procedures.
Plastic surgery is becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, things sometimes go wrong. Very wrong! In the television programme 'Verminkt', an expert team of surgeons does everything possible to give people who have experienced a failed cosmetic or medical procedure a new lease on life.
Presented by: Evelyn Struik.
Prevention is better than cure
Unfortunately, things have gone wrong for the participants in the RTL programme 'Verminkt', but how can you prevent a procedure from turning out differently than expected? This is partly within your own control. It is extremely important to be properly informed by an experienced specialist before any cosmetic procedure. Unfortunately, many non-plastic surgeons perform operations for which they have not been trained. These are serious treatments for which plastic surgeons have undergone years of training. An experienced plastic surgeon is always registered in the BIG register and is affiliated with the Dutch Association for Plastic Surgery (NVPC).
Our experienced plastic surgeons
A reliable clinic
In addition to choosing an experienced plastic surgeon, the entire process surrounding the procedure is of great importance. We have already discussed the importance of comprehensive information, but aftercare must certainly not be forgotten. Recovery after a cosmetic procedure should not be taken lightly. Of course, recovery varies from person to person, and recovery from an eyelid correction takes less time than that from a breast augmentation, but in both cases the same rule applies: you only get one chance to do it right. Take your time, rest well, and if you have any doubts, always return to your treating physician.
'Verminkt' is produced by Vorst Media.
Now available to watch on Videoland seasons 1 and 2.

In the first episode, plastic surgeon Wouter van der Pot treats patient Gaby. Gaby is unhappy with several areas of her body: her eyes, breasts and abdomen. She also suffers from excess weight. Dr Wouter van der Pot, together with Gaby, draws up a personalised treatment plan to remove the xanthelasma condition around her eyes. He also improves her failed breast reconstruction and corrects her abdomen. Gaby herself makes every effort to achieve the best possible result — she stops smoking and loses weight.
