Dr Robert Kanhai

BIG registration number: 29046368601

I was trained as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at the VUMC in Amsterdam, initially consisting of a general surgery training at the UMCU from 1999 to 2002 and my further training at the VUMC from 2002 to 2005. In 2001 I obtained my PhD on the subject of “Breast augmentation in male-to-female transsexuals”.

After completing my education in 2005, I started working at the OLVG in Amsterdam. Given the fact that no major reconstructive interventions could be done there, I said goodbye in 2009 and continued my career in what was then the MCA NWZ in Alkmaar.
I have specialized in reconstructive surgery, including microsurgery, gender and aesthetic procedures.

In Gender Surgery, I perform the sex reassignment procedures for both male-to-female and female-to-male transsexuals and associated surgeries such as breast augmentation and face reassignment surgery.
Further in my palette are also the aesthetic procedures for face, breasts, abdomen
