About

With more than 14 years of surgical experience and dual certification in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Koen Ingels is a facial plastic surgeon based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, who specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, facial rejuvenation, and nasal surgery. As of July 2026, he practices at Radboud University Medical Centre, one of the Netherlands' established academic hospitals.

Dr. Ingels is listed as board-certified by the International Board for Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (IBCFPRS) and the European Board for Certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (EBCFPRS). These dual credentials reflect a focus specific to the face rather than general cosmetic surgery.

Their surgical training centered on the anatomy of the face and nose, disciplines where form and function are closely linked. This foundation is particularly relevant for procedures such as the deep plane facelift, which works beneath the skin at the level of the facial muscle layer.

Dr. Ingels completed their medical education at Radboud University Nijmegen, an institution recognized for its academic medicine and research culture. Their path combines ear, nose, and throat (ENT) expertise with certification in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Ingels approaches this procedure with attention to natural movement and long-lasting results, aiming for rejuvenation that avoids an overly pulled appearance.

A notable part of Dr. Ingels's clinical background is their specialization in rhinoplasty and nasal correction. Dr. Ingels is associated with a dedicated nasal surgery practice where Dr. Ingels and colleagues perform corrective procedures on a weekly basis, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns.

Dr. Ingels's work spans both aesthetic and reconstructive goals, reflecting a philosophy that natural facial harmony depends on understanding underlying structure. This dual focus on facelift and nasal surgery gives Dr. Ingels broad familiarity with the aging face.

Dr. Ingels serves a patient population that values a measured, anatomy-driven approach. Their academic hospital setting means procedures are performed within a structured medical environment with defined safety protocols.

Facial aging affects the deeper support layers of the face, not only the skin surface. Dr. Ingels's deep plane technique is designed to address this by repositioning the SMAS layer (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin).

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process, and Dr. Ingels emphasizes clear communication throughout the aftercare period. Patients typically move through an initial healing phase before final results emerge over several months.

Rotterdam, where Dr. Ingels practices, is a modern port city known for its contemporary architecture and international outlook. This cosmopolitan environment makes it an accessible destination for patients considering facial rejuvenation within Western Europe.

Dr. Ingels maintains a presence on Instagram at @drkoeningels, where prospective patients can gain a sense of their aesthetic sensibility. Dr. Ingels's public profile also describes involvement in facial plastic surgery at Radboudumc and affiliated clinics.

Dr. Ingels's membership in the EBCFPRS reflects ongoing engagement with the European community of facial plastic surgeons. Such affiliations are associated with continuing education and adherence to shared standards of practice.

Dr. Ingels combines academic medicine, focused facial specialization, and more than a decade of surgical experience. For patients seeking a surgeon whose practice is rooted in the anatomy of both the face and nose, Dr. Ingels's profile offers a distinctive blend of skills.

Prospective patients researching deep plane facelift options in the Netherlands will find in Dr. Koen Ingels a surgeon whose training and clinical focus are well-aligned with the demands of this advanced procedure.
