Surgery abroad

from what i can gather googleing it,they are a cheap alternative produced in france which i believe is where the pip problem stems from.i also believe if they are not pips that they should really update their website.
for me personally if they cant get info on their website right,i would not put my trust in them going under the knife.
the 1st port of call when looking for my op was acurracy and information available on the companies site,the pcc's attitude, assistance,and ability to answer my questions.the clinic cleanliness etc,aftercare program distance to travel in case of emergency etc,surgeons qualifications,ability to meet before the op as many times as needed.people who have used the company either through forums or search engines.
for me personally i would run a mile.i just feel there is not enough clarity from the website alone
all the best

Reading Shootingstars post would put me right off going abroad! That's a horror story!

I get everything the same as a company offers (aftercare etc) but I got to choose my surgeon, not someone on the other end of the phone picking for me!

I went through Mybreast and chose my surgeon, most girls on here who have gone through MB have chosen their surgeon btw. If i went directly through my surgeon i would've only got 1 years aftercare but through mybreast i get 5 years for cc etc so it was a better deal, sometimes companys are a good way to go

'The implants are SEBIN or EUROSILICON, not the PIP. Dr Gacs will see you in September when we are in Dublin, and we will be there every 6 weeks',
'All the implants have at least 10 years of guarantee given by the manufacturer. So if they go wrong and it was not through accident then the cost is on them'.

This will only cover rupture or capsular contracture and will only cover the cost of the implants - all hospital fees, surgeons fees, travel expenses and accomodation will be at your expense babe.

Please take into account that these are NOT the only risks, you will also be at risk of - Heamotoma, Seroma, infection, implant displacement, rippling, keloid scarring, deep vein thrombosis and pulminary embolism, assymetry, you may not be happy with the breast size chosen for you.

None of the above will be covered at all by the 'implant guarantee'

You will have the possibility for the check-ups in Dublin but if there is any minor problems with for example scar healing, you will have to see your GP and get antibiotics. We don’t have a contract with any medical facilities in Ireland as the surgery is based in Budapest and is Hungarian, that is why we can offer the treatments on Hungarian prices.

Basically, we do the surgery and then you're on your own.

Same with the other foreign plastic surgery clinics.

Wrong! As you've seen from Hatties post. Not all foreign clinics work in this way.

We have been operating this business on this basis for almost 5 years and it works. This is why we ask everyone to stay a given minimum days in Budapest as during that time the surgeon can monitor healing properly.

It takes up to one year for your breasts to heal properly.

You can expect your breasts to be quite swollen for a few weeks still when you return home. You will have to keep the surgeon’s order and avoid doing certain things in order not to compromise the good result. For example wear the sports bra day and night for weeks. Massage, etc. He will explain properly. Should there be any major complication due to the surgeon’s (did not happen yet), your corrective surgery would be free of charge but the travel costs have to be born by the patient.

You MUST consider the additional expense of possible revision here, I'm sure you would also have to pay your own hotel costs too, so it would would cost you travel expenses and accomodation IF you did manage to get your free re-op, as you read in ShootingStars post, she was left high and dry! I really don't see that you are saving any money here at all!

It is very important therefore in order for you to be happy with the result that during the consultation before surgery you make sure you are on agreement with the surgeon as to what size you want to be!'

How can YOU be sure of the size?! This is what you pay a person specialising in a specific field to help decide. This put the responsibility of the brest size outcome on YOU so if you aren't happy hun - Tough luck is what they're saying. xx

So thats exactly what she said,
I feel a little more comfortable
But still could do with your advice

Your decision hunni - I'd run a mile. xxx

Really, when i did my consult with mybreast i didnt get to choose my surgeon, which put me off them as i didnt get a good vibe off him (and it was nearly a 2hour drive away!)

And for the price i paid is only £10 more than mybreast and i stayed overnight instead of a daycase!

I went through Transform for both surgeries and first time I chose my surgeon, second time I was allocated a surgeon but refused him and was then given another who I was happy with. You CAN choose your surgeon with other companines hunni if they work in your area. xx

oh cool, that's good to know for pre op girls doing their research!

I wasnt given a choice of surgeon to see or research when making my consult with mybreast, in fact they were quite reluctant to tell me anything over the phone until I paid the consult fee! she wouldn't tell me the hospital name or anything. Maybe I got someone on an 'off' day!

I was given all that patter from the abroad company too! I chose to believe it and what a load of rubbish it turned out to be, the trouble is they can abandon you & get away with it should something go wrong, i was told it was a simple op & they'd never had any go wrong but when i had the internal bleed i was told 'oh you're only the 3rd to have this happen' so what was the right statistic?? I'll never know because they can make it up as they go along.
I waas told how my implants had a lifetime guarantee and withstand car crashes blah blah, trouble is you think these people are medical professionals but they are not UK rules & regulations like we believe and are very very different, they can simply get away with it which is terrible!!
It turned out i've paid almost 9 grand for my boobs to be what they are today but should they go wrong now (which they may..CC can crop up anytime) i am fully covered with my UK surgeon and the peace of mind i get with that is priceless.

Your completely right!!!!
Flight 120 euro
Surgery 2700euro
Spend money 500 euro
Hotel 220 euro
Childminder 150 euro
Consultation 100 euro
=3800 euro for everything while its 5000 euro for surgery here in Dublin

I cant put a price on my health, Im not going for the surgery in Budapest its really not worth it your advice has been worth gold to me Thanks a million I just rang my local cosmetic surgeon and the lady suggested not to that if i am in pain that surgeons over here wont look at me because its not their work, the risks are too high, Cookie thank you so much for your break down and mellowmau for showing such care, and everyone else!!!!
Its just sad now i no that its not happening but its the responsible thing to do xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ther are so many other companies that operate within much better guidelines closer to home.put the total money to one side let it build a little interest whilst you do research closer to home.there are always offers to be found along with haggling,or telling a surgeon your budget and seeing if they will do it for that.
i feel much better for you now i know your not going(sorry for you too)
i spent nearly 9 years researching.then when i phoned for my consultation it was only 2 weeks before i had my op,so things can move really quickly.

yeah I was suppose to have it done in June with this company but got very sick with the mumps and then the doctor was on holidays so i was given the date 12th of July, I only found this forum last week so glad i did now, the town i live in think there is only few people with breast implants so not even many i could get advice from.... But all the comments really put my options ino perspective!! crystal clear suppose i was ignoring my conscenienc a little because i wanted them done that bad......
Im going to start research to day of surgeons around ireland and also fine tooth come the information on the website make sure i no what im looking for......

you are 100% making the best decision for you, good luck with everything sweetie.

You will soon have the boobs of your dreams, and secure ones too!! x x x

I'm so pleased you've made that decision hun, now to start finding a surgeon near you, good luck x

Thanks again for all your help!!! angels xxx

Thank goodness for that Nikola99, I was very worried about you. Some things are worth the wait xoxoxoxoxo

Hi Nikola,

I'm so glad you didn't go Hunni, What a relief!!
I was worried about you too, been in and out of the forum all day wondering about what you decided!!

You'll get your Good Luck choosing your Surgeon. xxx

Phew Nikola99, i read your post late last night and couldnt sleep properly wondering if you were going to log back in or not.. you are definately doing the right thing babe.

The ladies on here are excellent

good luck sweet xx

Nikola, I'm so so relieved to read your change of mind babe

I think you made the right decision hunni - Now to look forward to researching the best options for you and the beautiful boobies to come! xx

Gosh I'm so so so so so relieved you didn't go hunny! You have seriously made the right decision, and what with all the other mounting costs you mentioned, I had my surgery in the UK with an overnight stay for £50 less than that so I hope that helps you to see that it doesn't have to be majorly expensive to have treatment in the UK.

The research bit for me was really fun - enjoy going for your consults babe! And you don't have to write off going abroad completely as hattie has shown it can be done properly. I don't think the main issue here was you going abroad (although there are more risks to doing this) but it was mainly the company - they seemed so shady.

You can really enjoy the research bit now - take as long as you like and meet as many surgeons/companies as you like and your boobies will come soon enough!

Jess xx

i think youve made the right choice.
You can get some good deals in the UK these days.

Hey Nicola, I had my ba in Dublin with Auralia. I am very happy with everything. Might be worth checking them out. Feel free to contact me private if you have questions.

You have made the right decision hun, well done for backing out and deciding to take some time to research things properly - it is times like these that I feel so proud to be a part of this forum helping girls to make the right decisions for them.

It can be so easy to see things through rose tinted glasses and ignore the things you really need to be looking for.

I do not belive for one second that this clinic has never had to do a re-op due to a complication - absolute codswallop if you ask me! Even the best surgeons in the world have complications they have to sort out on occasion.

There have been a number girls on here who have had their surgery with very respected surgeons in the UK but have had a re-op due to bottoming out or slight double bubble or CC - these are risks of the surgery no matter how good the surgeon is and your aftercare should cover this. This just makes me even more wary of this company as they are blatently lying to you.

Congrats on be so sensible hun, now you are not in such a rush you can join in the forum and get to know all these lovely ladies

Just read through all this and want to say I too am very glad to hear that you decided not to go for your surgery. I'm sure you'll be able to find a reasonable price with a great doctor where you live. Also want to point out, though it's not relevant any more, that breast augmentations are done here in the United States under local quite often. It's called "Awake Breast Augmentation". Many women choose it because it allows them to decide on their size during the surgery. You can't feel a thing, and theres a curtain between your head and the boobie area. Kinda like a C section. After they put the implants in, they'll sit you up so you can see how it looks and decide if you like the size or want a bigger/smaller size. It's relatively new here, but is gaining popularity.

hi fawn, yes i saw that awake breast augmentation on youtube, interesting, weird but interesting...
