'As a plastic surgeon, my motivation is to help people feel better in their own bodies. Satisfied patients, greater self-confidence, and a positive self-image are at the heart of my work. At the same time, I believe that real impact reaches beyond the treatment room. That’s why I see my profession not only as a way to make individuals happy, but also as an opportunity to contribute to a better world.
 

In my search for a meaningful way to fulfill that responsibility, I came across the principle of effective giving. Effective charities focus not only on good intentions, but above all on proven results. They use scientific research, transparent reporting, and continuous evaluation to determine where donations have the greatest positive impact. This ensures that every euro is used as efficiently as possible to truly improve lives.

An important source of inspiration in this regard is DoneerEffectief.nl. This platform provides insight into which charities have been proven effective in addressing urgent global challenges, such as extreme poverty, disease prevention, and lack of basic necessities. By analyzing organizations based on measurable impact, cost-effectiveness, and transparency, DoneerEffectief.nl helps donors make well-informed decisions and maximize the value of their contributions.
 

Guided by this belief, I have chosen to set aside a portion of the proceeds from my work for donations to carefully selected, highly effective charities. In this way, every treatment contributes not only to the well-being of my patients, but also — indirectly — to improving lives elsewhere in the world. It is my way of connecting professional care with social responsibility.

I believe that beauty and compassion can go hand in hand. By consciously choosing effective charities, I hope that together with my patients I can make a small yet meaningful contribution to a healthier, fairer, and better world.'
