Legal notice

Publisher

This website is published by Dr Axel De Lange, who is responsible for its content. His details are set out below, under Identification.

Professional title and registration

Dr Axel De Lange is a graduate of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) and is recognised in Belgium as a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. His INAMI/RIZIV number, 1-89436-05-210, ends in 210, the code of that specialty.

He is registered with the Order of Physicians (Ordre des médecins / Orde der artsen) and bound by its Code of Medical Deontology, published in French and Dutch.

Information, not advertising

Belgian law forbids advertising for aesthetic medical procedures and allows only professional information that is truthful, objective and verifiable (law of 23 May 2013). That is why this site shows no prices, no promotions, no before-and-after photographs and no testimonials.

Fees are discussed at the consultation. Before an aesthetic procedure you receive written information to sign, with a detailed estimate of the costs when they exceed the threshold set by law. For aesthetic surgery, at least 15 days pass between that signature and the operation.

Nature of the content

The pages describing procedures are general information. They are not medical advice, not a recommendation and not a promise of any result. Reading them creates no doctor-patient relationship.

Surgery carries risk, outcomes differ from person to person, and no procedure is suitable for everyone. What applies to you can only be established in a consultation, after an examination.

This website cannot answer urgent questions. In an emergency, call 112. After an operation, use the follow-up contact details you were given.

Photographs

The portraits and the operating-room photographs show Dr De Lange. The clinic photographs show the actual premises, some retouched for light and colour. The images illustrating the procedures are illustrative: they do not show patients of the practice or the result of any procedure.
