Be Clinic (2)
Cosmetic Clinic, Belgium

I chose Brussels for this triple cosmetic procedure for three reasons: (1) It was approx 60% of the cost of having this done in the UK
including travel & hotel expenses for two of us. (2) Brussels is only 1hr 45mins on the Eurostar and (3) cosmetic surgeons on the
Continent (certainly the one I chose) are generally more prepared to perform more 'radical' surgery (facelifts) than their UK
counterparts The latter only want the outcome of their surgery to be 'subtle', insisting that their patients should not want anyone to
notice they've had a facelift!!! Totally anti-productive and a waste of money!. I was bitterly disappointed in my first facelift in the
uk in 2000. It was barely noticeable, even by me. Which is why I wanted it done again but this one would be 'full-on'. I was very
explicit in what I wanted this time It was perfect and I'm still over the moon. It's taken 20 years off me! People might be put off
by the fact that the overnight stay abroad is in a hotel rather than hospital, However, I was given two tel numbers if there was an
emergency. I 'did' have to wear the drains overnight and the next morning, back to the clinic for drains to be removed, bandage
checked, then back on Eurostar to London. Yes, you DO look like a walking 'mummy' but you can hide a bit behind huge dark glasses and
no-one knows you so ... who cares? You're safely home in a few hours. Groggy? No, because I difn't have a general anaesthetic but
rather heavy sedation, which meant that the following morning, even a couple of hours later, I was feeling reasonably bright. No I did
NOT remember anything and it is painless. My local surgery removed my eye stitches out a week later. But there was a problem with
the main facial stitches (2 weeks later) in that they were so small and tight (necessary to ensure no scarring) that local surgery did
not have the correct cosmetic stitch removal instruments. Several private hospitals were 'snooty' and refused to remove them as the
procedure was not done with them. I finally 'hoodwinked' a private surgeon to remove them... who did nothing but berrate me for having
gone abroad!! My Belgiam surgeon comes to Harley Street on day a month to consult prospective patients and for post-op follow ups. I
saw him some weeks post op, explained the stitches problem and he assured me he was going to do something about it, i.e. spend an extra
day or half day in Harley St for stitch removal or source a UK partner to do this task. I plan to go back to this wonderful man in
7-8 years for another one!!!

I recommend Dr Plovier at BE-CLINIC as a surgeon 100%. I have had him operate 3 different times now and I am absolutely pleased with the
outcome of all 3 and the before and after care received. I wouldnt have anyone else. I have had 6 areas of liposuction, a thigh lift and
a breast enlargement. My mum has had a mini face left and upper and lower eyelids and lipo to the chin and the results are remarkable. I
had my consultations in Harley Street London and It took us 1hr and 45 minutes on the eurostar to brussels from Ebbsfleet and a 25-30
minute taxi to the hotel along the road to have the surgery. They are available after surgery 24 hours if you need them and couldnt be
more helpful.
