Dr. Julien Colle receives patients at three locations: Keerbergen, Bonheiden, and Westerlo, each with its own specific purpose. This overview explains what happens where and how an appointment proceeds. <\/p>
Plastic surgery encompasses a wide range of care: a consultation and clinical examination, a minor treatment under local anesthesia, and procedures under general anesthesia involving hospital admission. These different forms of care require different settings. <\/p>
Achiel Cleynhenslaan 150, 3140 Keerbergen<\/p>
Colle Clinic is Dr. Colle’s private practice. This is where aesthetic consultations and treatments take place: discussions where a request is explored in depth, clinical examinations, and treatments that can be performed in a practice setting, including the regenerative range<\/a>. <\/p> The practice is centrally located for those living in Keerbergen, Tremelo, Haacht, Begijnendijk, or Rijmenam, and is easily accessible from Mechelen, Leuven, and Aarschot.<\/p> Imeldalaan 9, 2820 Bonheiden<\/p> Both consultations and procedures take place at the Imelda Hospital. This is the location for procedures requiring general anesthesia and for treatments that need a hospital setting: a sterile environment, anesthesia, nursing follow-up, and the possibility of admission. Reconstructive care also takes place via the hospital. <\/p> Bonheiden is conveniently located for patients from Mechelen, Putte, Rijmenam, Keerbergen, and Heist-op-den-Berg.<\/p> Boskant 18, 2260 Westerlo<\/p> Innovaris is a medical center where consultations and aesthetic procedures take place. It is a suitable location for patients from the Kempen and the east of the province of Antwerp: Westerlo, Herselt, Herentals, Geel, Hulshout, and Heist-op-den-Berg are within a short driving distance. <\/p> In case of doubt, the most appropriate location will be indicated when making the appointment. It is not necessary to figure this out yourself beforehand. <\/p> In a hospital<\/strong>, the full medical-technical infrastructure is present: anesthesia, operating rooms, nursing wards, laboratory and imaging services, and the presence of other specialties. This is necessary for procedures under general anesthesia, for patients with additional medical conditions, and for care requiring admission. <\/p> In a private practice or medical center<\/strong>, the emphasis is on the consultation, the clinical examination, and treatments that can be safely performed in that environment. The scale is smaller, and there is generally more flexibility in scheduling. If it becomes clear during such a consultation that a procedure under general anesthesia is advisable, it will be scheduled at the hospital. <\/p> Appointments are made using the details on the contact page<\/a>. Please briefly mention what your request concerns and which location is practical for you, so that the consultation can be scheduled at the right place with sufficient time. <\/p> For consultations at the Imelda Hospital, a referral letter from your GP or another specialist may be relevant, especially when it concerns a medical indication. For a purely aesthetic request, a referral is not required. <\/p> Please keep in mind that a consultation regarding body or breast surgery includes a clinical examination. Comfortable clothing is practical for this. What is discussed during an initial appointment can be found on the page your first consultation<\/a>. <\/p> The initial consultation is followed by a cooling-off period. This is legally required for aesthetic procedures, but it is also meaningful in terms of content. Often, a second consultation follows in which the plan is finalized. <\/p> When a procedure under general anesthesia is planned, an appointment with the anesthesiologist and usually a blood test will follow. After the procedure, follow-up appointments are scheduled; depending on the situation, these can take place at the hospital or at the practice. <\/p> More background information per treatment area can be found under body surgery<\/a>, breast surgery<\/a>, and facial surgery<\/a>.<\/p> Dr. Julien Colle is a plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgeon. He obtained his medical degree from Ghent University and completed his training in plastic surgery at Ghent University Hospital. Additionally, he gained experience at AZ Groeninge in Kortrijk, AZ Sint-Vincentius in Deinze, and ASZ in Aalst. <\/p> He holds a double European certification: Fellow of the Collegium Chirurgicum Plasticum and Fellow of the European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. Furthermore, he is a member of the Royal Belgian Society for Plastic Surgery, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. You can read more about this on the page about Dr. Colle<\/a>. <\/p> A referral is not required for an aesthetic consultation. For a consultation with a medical indication at the Imelda Hospital, a referral letter is useful and sometimes necessary for administrative processing. <\/p><\/details> Not always. Procedures under general anesthesia with hospital admission take place at the Imelda Hospital in Bonheiden, even if the initial consultation took place elsewhere. <\/p><\/details> The three locations together cover the region between Mechelen, Leuven, and the Kempen: including Keerbergen, Bonheiden, Putte, Westerlo, Heist-op-den-Berg, Tremelo, Haacht, Begijnendijk, Aarschot, Mechelen, Lier, and Leuven.<\/p><\/details> Usually yes, as long as the nature of your request is appropriate for that setting. When making the appointment, we will determine which location is most suitable in terms of facilities and availability. <\/p><\/details> An initial consultation takes sufficient time to calmly go through your request, your medical history, and the clinical examination. Expect an appointment that lasts longer than a standard consultation. <\/p><\/details> During a consultation, your request will be carefully discussed to determine which treatment is most suitable.<\/p>Imelda Hospital, Bonheiden<\/h3>
