Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty-Great ResultDate: 12 February 2010
"I was nervous about having a labiaplasty procedure done but knew I could never enjoy making love properly until I did. I was recommended by a friend to visit Clinic Beaucare. She had breast implants and labiaplasty the year before and loved the results.
I went to my initial consultation in Harley Street and found the doctor quite dismissive wiith little time for my questions, however my friend had had the same experience but said that the team in Brussels were lovely.
I decided to go ahead and the staff in Brussels were great. I arrived and was made to feel at ease and the procedure was fast and painless! I opted to have only local anaesthetic, so was awake throughout and although it was a weird experience it was over quickly.
I was in bearable pain for a couple of days afterwards and very swollen for a couple of weeks but just took it easy. My main problem was a mild infection in week 2 as my stitches didn't dissolve quickly and caused irritation, this did cause problems for 3 weeks with a couple of them becoming mildly infected but I took a course of antibiotics and was fine.
A year on and I am absolutely delighted with the result. My love life is incredible and it was by far the best decision I made. It has changed my life."
Pros: it was so easy to get to., it was very clean., staff were amazing. Cons: could'nt stay overnight.
"I was so worried and nervous about having my BA but my worries were all washed away as soon as i spoke to Dr Plovier he was so reasuring and caring i felt so at ease once we had discussed what i wanted and what i could expect and i feel he really listened to me and gave me the time i needed to ask questions and feel comfortable the morning before my operation! I would recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to travel abroad for cosmetic surgery to save money but still get quality results, I can honestly say that from start to finish including travelling to and from there was not one hiccup and it couldnt have run smoother! Best thing i ever did for myself! :)))"

Inverted nipples
Operation or treatment:
Nipple correction
Excellence in BelgiumDate: 10 October 2009
"I travelled to Beaucare for treatment in late September 2009. The procedure was a relatively simple one (nipple correction) and as such I was able to travel there and back in the same day. Although it was a long day in hindsight, I didn't particularly want to stay overnight and just made sure I allowed plenty of time for the return journey home.
I found Beaucare via a google search and admittedly, in the first instance, I was slightly suspicious because the prices were so low! Compared to surgery in London, where I was quoted prices of £2,500, Beaucare's fees were over two thirds less. I believe this is in part because they do not keep you in the clinic overnight, but for my procedure they do not offer an overnight stay in London either. Also, although it was only minor surgery, other London clinics wanted to perform the correction under general anaesthetic and I much preferred the option of a local.
In London, I met Dr. Vrambout who was very professional. Beaucare use rooms at 10, Harley Street, which are also used by a number of different cosmetic surgeons for consultations and so, in all honesty, it can feel like a bit of a cattle call in the waiting room. I had been here before and so knew what to expect.
In truth, I did not feel that Dr. Vrambout spent a particularly long time with me or talked at great length about the procedure but actually this suited me fine because I had thought about what I wanted for many years, had considered the various options and was determined to go ahead.
In earlier consultations, I found that the doctors would quiz me about the realities of breastfeeding after correction and on one occasion even made me feel quite guilty about giving up that option in favour of correction. I suppose they are only doing their job but I had thought about this for so long that I didn't need to hear any more negatives. I just wanted someone to be positive and say, 'yes we can do this it won't be a problem!' This positive attitude was embraced by Dr. Vambrout and his entire staff.
The clinic itself feels rather like a contemporary spa - with fluffy dressing gowns and slippers and a recovery room facing a luscious garden. When I joked with Dr. Plovier about whether he could do a bikini wax while he was at it, he said, "Impossible, that I do not do!" (For the avoidance of doubt, this is not to say that Dr. Plovier is too relaxed - it is just in my nature to try and make light of tense situations! And I was very nervous beforehand!)
And therein lies the ethos at the heart of Beaucare, this friendly, warm and reassuring atmosphere that seems to come so naturally to the staff at the clinic. I understand that Dr. Plovier is a highly esteemed surgeon both in Belgium and internationally but there is no trace of the arrogance or ego that I have found in talking to other cosmetic surgeons. Dr. Plovier is gentle, friendly and compassionate - and yes, absolutely confident.
My only negative experience was a case of the shakes after my surgery: a result of getting up so early and then not eating very much at all due to nerves. My advice would be to carb load so that you don't have an overwhelming sugar low as I did! At the end of the day, you are bound to be nervous - you have taken a big decision with your body - and after all it is the only one you have. But all I can say to this end is that I really do believe that Beaucare is an excellent choice.
I have just had my stitches removed after two weeks and I am delighted with the results. It is a shame I'm happy with everything else otherwise I would definitely go back.
Highly recommended!"

Operation or treatment:
tummy tuck
Highly recommendedDate: 28 July 2009
Pros: professionalism of all staff, hotel campanile - clean unfussy room good food, excellent customer service by all staff, value for money overall for cost of treatment
"I had a tummy tuck on 14th July, now two weeks later I have just had the stitches removed and feel really great! I travelled on the Eurostar from St Pancras to Brussels and went straight to the clinic for my surgery, having previously had a consultation with the surgeon in London. All of the staff were friendly and professional and I felt well looked after. When I came round after the operation I was initially in quite a lot of pain, so the nurse called the anaesthetist who gave me some stronger pain killers. I returned to the Campanile hotel by taxi about 6 hours after treatment as I wanted to try and sleep, and after taking some more pain killers and sleeping for two hours I woke up feeling much better. I spent two days resting and recovering at the hotel - the staff were wonderful , very kind and considerate. I returned to the clinic on the third day and as my two wound drains were only collecting minimal fluid, they removed them for me, redressed the wounds and I travelled home to the UK in the afternoon. I returned to work 10 days later and have just taken it easy, and now that the stitches are out and I can see the results more clearly, I am really pleased : my tummy is very flat and firm and I certainly feel the result was worth the effort and cost. I felt that the main disadvantage when deciding where to book the surgery was having to travel to Brussels from the UK, however the clinic staff were so well organised and informative that this part was actually made very easy for me. Certainly the high quality of the treatment, plus the relatively low cost compared to the UK, means that several of my friends are now considering booking treatment here!"

Operation or treatment:
Liposculpture
Liposculpture....LOVE IT!Date: 03 May 2009
Pros: tons cheaper than uk Cons: costing a fortune buying new clothes!
"I had lipo 6 weeks ago and it is the best thing i've done, money very well spent. I had my inside/outside thighs, bum and love handles done and I look amazing. Before having it done I read lots of reviews, people saying they returned to work after 4 days etc, I was not expecting the pain and recovery to be so bad, 2 weeks was more realistic, I would also recommend having iron tablets ready to take.
I travelled with my husband on the Eurostar from London, this was £60each return, we got the train from Brussels Central to Vilvoorde which was 3 stops then walked to the hotel which was next to the station, we walked to the clinic in the morning which took about 20mins (taxi would have been 10euro).
I didn't want to spend another night in the hotel as we were trying to keep costs down and another night would have been £130 so I returned to London the same night. Sitting didn't hurt much but getting down/up was very painful and walking also hurt.
I was a size 16 and very pear shaped 6weeks ago, I am now a size 12 and in proportion, for the first time in my life I am looking forward to summer, no more covering up in big baggy clothes, I don't leave shops in tears depressed that nothing looks good, I LOVE my new body!!"
"I had breast augmnetation done at beau care clinic on 31st March 2009. I had considered several clinics but chose this one due to the excellent reviews it had been given on this site and I was able to get my consultation done in Brussels prior to my op rather than having to travel to Manchester beforehand as required by other clinics The only thing that went wrong was that I had not realised that there were two airports in Brussels and I had flown in to Charlerio not realising that the clinic and the Thon Hotel that I had booked into were in fact two and a half hours away next to Brussels International airport!!! Apart from this minor mishap ha! ha! I found the whole trip went better than expected. I arrived at the clinic at 2pm the next day and had my consultation with Dr Plovier who was extremely friendly and reassuring. He explained what I should expect after the op especially about the level of pain I would be in which I appreciated as it would have come as a shock had he kept this from me. He asked me what size I wanted to go and when I asked if he thought I should go from 34a to a C or D cup, he assured me that a C cup or 390cc would be perfect as any bigger would look obvious that I had had surgery done. I am so glad I took his advice as I did not want to look like "Jordan" and my breasts are indeed very natural looking and fit in perfectly with the rest of my body. The nurses were all lovely with perfect english and after speaking to the anaesthetist, I was taken into the operating room and they spoke to me in a calming manner stating that I would soon be sleeping which indeed I was.
I woke up in the recovery room feeling very groggy and in quite a bit of pain. The nurses continued monitoring me giving me pain relief and anti sickness medication when required as I did not realise that when they started to elevate my bed to an upright position that I would feel sick. I was assured this was normal and felt at ease with what was happening. My husband was allowed to sit with me as soon as I woke up from the op and I stayed in the clinic for another three hours to ensure I was well enough to go back to the hotel.
They phoned the taxi company they use regularly as they stated that they were used to taking patients home and would drive very carefully. This indeed was the case and I can't thank the driver enough for his patience and attention given to me throughout the journey - he knew what roads to use taht did not have lots of pots holes as any bump on the road caused a lot of pain.
The first night was horrendous with the pain and we flew home the next day after having to travel back another two and a half hours to our airport.
Dr Plovier told me the first 4-5 days would be very painful but this would ease and this was the case. I took regular ibuprofen and paracetamol to try and control the pain and enjoyed being spoilt by my husband and children.
It is now two weeks since my op and I had my stitches removed today at my local clinic. The nurse stated that the surgeon had made a lovely job of my sutures and that the scar was perfect !
My breasts are already looking good and not nearly as swollen as they were. Thye are still hard and painful but a whole lot better than they were. I can't wait to take the surgical bra of as it is not the most attractive and as it is black I have to be careful what I am wearing. This is the first time I have looked forward to the summer so I can show off my new breasts instead of having to wear padded bras of chicken fillets!
Thank you Beau care clinic for all you have done for me!!!"

Full tummy tuck, lipo and arm lift
A good experienceDate: 11 March 2009
Pros: clean and efficient Cons: not staying in overnight
"I travelled to Brussels by Eurostar on 18th Jan 2009 for my surgery by Dr Plovier on 19th. I had already had a consultation in London. My husband came with me and we stayed at the Hotel Camponile, which was perfectly comfortable, clean and food excellent with friendly helpful staff. I have lost a lot of weight and needed extensive work done! I was concerned about being a little too old for the amount of surgery I was to have but Dr Plovier was very reassuring and put me at ease straight away. I arrived at the clinic at 7.30am as requested, was asked to take my clothes off and put on a fluffy robe and slippers. Dr Plovier saw me right away and explained to me and my husband exactly what he was going to do. He drew all over me and took pictures. I then saw the aneathetist who checked my medical records. He told my hsband not to come back until after 4pm and then asked me to follow him through to theatre. I did not feel at all nervous as I felt I was in good hands. I came into the recovery room at just after 4 pm so it was about 7 hours in theatre. I was placed in a reclining chair and covered with a warm electric blanket. I also had a drip and was wearing a tummy girdle and had dressing on my upper arms. A nurse came regularly to check me. My husband was sitting next to me and I was able to drift in and out of sleep. I had no pain. At 6.30pm my husband suggested he got me dressed and we go back to the hotel - the nurse gave me a plastic bag to carry my two drains in and called us a taxi. The taxi driver was very careful and helpful as my husband got me in and out of the car! The clinic gave us an emergency contact number and pain killers and written advice as to what to do/not do and an appointment was made for me to go back on Friday to have the drains removed. I had to go back on the Wednesday as one of the drains wasn't working but Dr Plovier saw me and said it was not a problem. He checked everything, the nurse changed the dressings and we went back to the hotel. We went back on Friday to have the drains removed by the nurse who was pleased with everything and then we had a taxi from the clinic to the Eurostar terminal for the journey home. I would recommend leaving yourself plenty of time at the station as to walk a distance is difficult and in the end I had a wheelchair to take me to the train as I was quite exhausted. I am now 7 weeks post op, back at work and feeling great. I still have some swelling on tummy but this is fluid and is gradually going. My arms are fab, no flapping anymore and for the first time in my life I will be able to wear short sleeves. My own GP here at home says she has not seen scars cut so well - and they are already begining to go pale. I am thrilled and would certainly recommend the clinic and go back if I needed anything else done. I did not take any of the pain killers they gave me, all I took was Annadins as the arms stung a bit. No pain from tummy tuck or lipo at all. Think I would have preferred to have been able to stay in overnight as I was a bit aprehensive at the hotel but I believe Belgium law does not allow this."
Operation or treatment:
Liposculture to legs and tummy area
LiposculptureDate: 12 February 2009
Pros: cheap, good surgery Cons: not staying in hospital
"The staff are efficient but friendly and helpful . Not much hand holding was done, but then I didn't ask for it. My only concern was that my blood pressure was not checked before or after surgery. I was uncomfortable afterwards and bled quite a lot. I would recommend having someone with you, a couple of changes of cloths and slip on shoes. I bruise easily but was able to cover this up and the body and leg stocking with winter clothes. I contacted the hospital and they were excellent and called me a couple of days later to make sure everything was ok. Pleased with the results so far and would recommend this hospital."

The first few days after surgery was painful as i was told before my operation, but after the 3rd day i was alot better. I am very very happy with the result and would definately go back again if i decide to do more surgery. A lady who works there called Helga was very helpful and i did not have to wait long after i arrived to have the surgery done."

Liposuction at BeaucareDate: 22 December 2008
"I had 6 areas of lipo at beaucare in Belgium on Monday 15th December, 2008, I travelled from Ebsfleet to Brussels and 3 stops up on a connecting train was the hotel campanille where I stayed ,1/2 mile from beaucare where I had my op!! All I can say is every part of my journey, surgery and stay were all extremely good and I wouldnt hesitate to go back or recommend to anyone. All the staff at beaucare were so welcoming , calming and nothing was too much trouble!! Everything went smoothly , my op was at 9am and I returned to the hotel at 4pm and travelled back the next morning on the eurostar!! The hotel was so clean, staff helpful and friendly and ideal for what I needed it for! The staff and surgeon at beaucare are at the other end of the phone to answer any questions you need to know and nothing is too much trouble!"

Clinic BeaucareDate: 24 November 2008
Pros: so much cheaper Cons: follow up surgery needs to be done in belgium
"I had my surgery done in Belgium in October 2008. I had to go alone as my husband had to look after the children whilst I was away and I have no immediate family who was able to go with me. I arrived the Thursday evening, as my consultation was booked for 10:00 the Friday morning, after which I had my surgery done. As I didn't have a consultation in London, I was constantly on the phone to them, or emailing them questions and concerns. They were ever so helpful and understanding and made this journey so much easier for me. I travelled by Eurostar and also stayed in the Hotel Campanille which is very basic and standard, but reasonably priced and the food is very good. My surgery took place at 13:00 that same day as the consultation, and I was allowed to stay in the clinic until closing time at 19:00. I wanted to stay as long as possible, as I had to travel back to the hotel alone and wanted to make sure I was feeling fine to do so. The nurses and all the staff were exceptionally professional and helpful and arranged a taxi for me to take me to the hotel. The taxi driver was very compassionate and lovely and helped me to carry my bag to the door. I received a text message from Dr Vrambout as I travelled back to London on the Sunday, which was both very encouraging and thoughtful. I was a bit unsure as to what I should pack for the clinic, but all questions were welcomed and answered promptly. I was very stressed about the procedure and worried that I was unable to cope alone, but two full days of rest in the hotel proved to be sufficient! I will recommend this clinic to anyone, and hope that your experience is as pleasurable as mine was. Minutes before the surgery, I was encouraged to opt for a C cup as I didn't want to go too large - and I am SO HAPPY I did! They do really encourage breast sizes that suit your frame and your build, which is really important in achieving a natural end result! I am ecstatic about my breasts and feel that they have done an amazing job! I would like to thank Dr Vrambout in particular who made me feel at ease and seemed to genuinely care for my well being! Thanks again!"

Breast AugmentationDate: 02 June 2008
"I had breast augmentation in February 2008 at Clinic Beaucare in Belgium. I had been researching this clinic and another clinic in belgium for about 12 months before I decided, and boy was I glad I chose Beaucare. I went for my first appointment in Manchester and met one of the consultants,a very nice and pleasant man Dr. Vrambout, he answered all of my questions and I felt at ease with him. After this meeting I had no hesitation in wanting my surgery done by this clinic and it's surgeon Dr. Plovier. I had researched Dr. Plovier's medical past and present, checked his qualifications etc and I was very pleased with the outcome. I booked a hotel in Belgium the Campanile ,very close to the airport and which was also close to the clinic, about 10 mins in a taxi and not expensive. I had my surgery done on the Friday and I came home on the Monday and the great thing was I was allowed to fly home, which was great, it only takes about half an hour from Manchester, which is where I am from. The clinic is spotlessly clean, the staff are fantastic, surgeon and anaesthatist were very nice. Could not fault anything, even the clinic itself is like a big house and very warm and friendly. To pay for my surgery I took english money with me to pay for it which they accept gladly, saves changing and paying that extra couple of quid to change it. I am 4 month post-op and I am ecstatically pleased with the outcome of the surgery. If you do everything that they say and suggest you will have no problem. I would recommend this clinic to everyone without a doubt."
