Smooth skin should never come at the cost of your health.

Illegal Botox and hyaluronic acid injections are increasing, often carried out by non-medical practitioners drawn by low prices and quick profits. When complications occur, they are rarely minor: vascular occlusion, nerve damage, skin necrosis, permanent scarring, and sometimes, with lifelong consequences.
In Belgium, these procedures are legally restricted to trained physicians for a reason. Aesthetic injections are not simple beauty treatments; they are medical acts that require deep anatomical knowledge, clinical judgment, and the ability to manage emergencies.

Your face is not a testing ground. It deserves expertise, safety, and accountability. Small Country, Big Surgeons.

20 years ago, a Belgian plastic surgeon helped make history. In 2005, Prof. Benoît Lengelé was part of the team that performed the world’s first face transplant, a breakthrough born not from ambition, but from extreme human suffering and the limits of existing reconstruction.

Face transplantation remains rare and exceptional, reserved for the most severe cases after all reconstructive options have been explored. It is never cosmetic, always carefully weighed, and ethically complex.

This milestone reminds us what plastic surgery truly is: restoring function, identity and dignity at the very edge of what medicine can offer. Small Country, Big Surgeons.

Les tendances d'une médecine d'État ne sont pas seulement d'actualité en France mais également discutées en Belgique, au Luxembourg et en Autriche.....

A recent court ruling in Antwerp sends a clear message: aesthetic treatments are not beauty services, they are medical acts. A beauty academy was convicted for illegal practice and misleading advertising after offering trainings in microneedling, cryolipolysis and teeth whitening, taught to non-medical participants by unqualified instructors. Legal limits were poorly explained, and patient safety was largely ignored.

This case is a reminder that training, anatomy, and regulation are not optional. When medical procedures are taught or performed without proper qualifications, public health is put at risk. Aesthetics without medical expertise isn’t innovation, it’s danger ⚠️ Small Country, Big Surgeons.

Today is World Plastic Surgery Day 🌍
A day to celebrate the science, skill, and humanity behind our field. From complex reconstructions to subtle enhancements, plastic surgery is about restoring function, confidence, and quality of life. Behind every procedure is a deep knowledge of anatomy, years of training, and a shared commitment to safety and ethics.
To our fellow plastic surgeons, patients, and future colleagues, thank you for the trust, the challenges, and the continuous innovation. Small Country, Big Surgeons.
