thanks for that funny enough that's the clinic I've been looking at :-) x

Hi Kylie, I had mine done in Belgium on Wednesday. Let me know if you wanna know anything :) x

Me too xx

Really? Oh yes please id love to know everything lol x

Oh that sounds so romantic and exotic! I want my boobies from belgian! IF it's anything like their chocolate they will be fantastic

i know they are cheaper but you need to also weigh up the options if anything should go wrong- you would need to travel back over for revision surgery.



check its not a newly formed company that could go bust -no pun intended



i thought about going abroad but the risks put me off incase anything went wrong, its hard enough sometimes in your own country to sort things out if they go wrong but at least youd be able to walk into one of their rooms and speak face to face- with belguim it might inc costly phone calls/airplane trips.



now i dont want to put a downer on it im sure many girls have had surgery abroad and are very happy but its just something you should consider hun x

I'm with Lolly I'm afraid.

Do you have a named surgeon and have you been able to check out their qualifications? Is the surgeon a fully trained Plastic surgeon?, due to the different standards in other other countries this will be very hard to know

Do you have the opportunity to have at least two consultations with your consultation before your surgery?

What aftercare are you given?

Should you suffer a complication would you be able to fund the return back to Belgian and find a hotel room?

The standards set here in the UK for our hospitals may be very different to those abroad

No surgery is risk free babe, so be sure to cover yourself should you have a complication, should you have a complication and for whatever reason and you're at the mercy of our NHS, they will not do any revision to correct the complication, they will simply remove the implant and stitch you back up, leaving you with one implant.

Here's some questions you may want to ask [urlhttp://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Treatmentabroad/Pages/Keyquestionstoask.aspx]HERE[/url]

Sorry to be so full on about this, as Lolly said there are lots of women who do have a good experience, but theres another side to this and you aren't local to get something sorted if you need to, we have a member here - ShootingStar, she went abroad and had the most horric time, after calling her surgeon, he left her with the implant hanging out of her breast. Awake, she was in so much pain and he just pulled the implant out, she has a diary on here if you'd like to read it, it's a good read for anyone thinking of having surgery abroard. xx

Thanks girls for all the advice its obviously something I need t look into a little bit more x

Sarah 90 and my time which clinic did u go with? How did u find the procedure? Any tips? X

hi, i went with Wellnes Kliniek. They were amazing. 3 of my friends have their Ba done there and that's how i decided. It's only 400-500miles from London.

Mytime that's where im looking at thinking of booking it this week for October can you please give me any more info x

the clinic and staff are very nice. it is located in town centre. many hotels nearby. you will have your consultation one day and your op on the next day.
i had my op at 12pm and was in my hotel by 3pm. i went with Gary Horn. he is a very nice man. after my consultation i didn't have any questions what so ever.
feel free to ask any questions xx

Oh sounds fantastic, so pleased your happy with new assets ;-), im sorry to bore you but I do have a couple of questions lol what's the aftercare like they offer and do they fit you with a bra post op just some clinics do n some don't x

Aftercare is really good. I saw my surgeon 1week(he took stitches out), 6weeks post op and will see him in a month for 6month post op check up. And I don't need to go to Belgium, surgeon comes to London. They do fit you with a bra, but you need to buy it from them which is €49.

wow that's really good, pleased I don't have to go back to Belgium London is alot easier, any tips or advice Hun? I'm getting very excited now I've spoke to you, so thank you x

oh i forgot to mention that waiting list is long. i paid deposit at the end of January and i had my BA at the end of March. maybe it's different now, i don't know. or maybe it was because that i wanted my consultation to be on Thursday and my op on Friday.

Thanks for that, I tried to book it today but forgot about the time difference so it was shut:( im hoping to have my consultation on the 19th of October n my op the day after because of my kids and flight etc but god im so excited I've been waiting for this for 10 years what happens when all your dreams come TRUE?? Lol sorry yet another question .... Do they prescribe any painkillers? Just thinking about the journey home lol xx

you should be ok for the 19th ofOctober if you book now. and i know how you feel babe, i waited 6 years for my Ba.
and yes, they do prescribe painkillers and antibiotics, don't worry

Thanks Hun for the reassurance,I've booked it :-D just waiting for the written confirmation now .....I'm so excited :-) I've got dr verdonck :-) xx

you must be sooooo excited!!!!!!! I remember I was over the moon!
