I am now nearly 1 month post op from Clinic Beaucare and I had to post a review about how happy I am with how I was treated and how the
results have turned out. I've always had a bigger lower half and wanted surgery to slim down my whole thighs, so I went for lipo on the
inner, outer and posterior thigh (just under the buttocks).
I stayed in the Hotel Campanile in Vilvoorde and found it perfectly suited
my needs for pre and post surgery and was very comfortable. On the day I actually walked to the clinic (about 20 minutes) as I wanted to
get my circulation going. Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed and the staff were very friendly. The clinic itself is beautifully designed
and very clean and efficient. If you have anyone accompanying you they are well looked after with free drinks machines and comfy sofas!
I had a quick consultation where they ask you what shape you want to achieve, take a before photo and draw on the targeted areas. After
that it was straight into the surgery room where the nurse was very friendly and chatty and the surgery table was heated and
comfortable. I opted to have to have general anaesthetic which I was nervous for as it was my first ever surgery, but there really was
nothing to worry about. The drip was inserted into my arm which wasn't as bad as I thought, and then the next thing I remember was
waking up in the recovery room with the nurse asking if I would like to see my mum. The support garment had been put on while I was
asleep which I thought was quite good as it must have been hard to get on! The first hour or two was strange due to the after effects of
anaesthetic, I was shaking a lot and kept drifting off to sleep. The nurse was very attentive and got me extra blankets. She also put
extra pain medication into my drip although I wasn't really complaining of pain, just cold and tiredness. After about two hours I was
the last person in recovery but they were in no rush to get me out and told me to take as much time as I needed to come round. After
about 2 and a half hours I finally felt energetic and they called me a taxi which turned up in minutes and also gave me their number in
case there was any problems during the night.
The first night was very hard to sleep (perhaps as I had slept so much in the day) and
also because I couldn't find a position to sleep which didn't hurt my legs. I spent the next day in the hotel room as I felt quite
swollen, although I made an effort to get up every hour to prevent DVT. On the second day of surgery I felt ready to go out so I walked
to the local town Vilvoorde for a couple of hours. I also started light massages on this day and made sure I stuck to the diet plan they
gave me cutting down on salt and sugar to reduce swelling as much as possible.
It took me a week to feel ready to go back to work and
start minimal exercise. I am now three and a half weeks post op and I feel amazing although slightly swollen still. I've been massaging
hirudoid gel in once a day and my bruising is now completely gone. If anyone is looking at getting this surgery done I highly recommend
it and Beaucare was a very trustworthy clinic. I cannot describe how amazing it feels to be able to fit into jeans that I haven't fitted
since I was a teenager! Can't wait for the full results, I'm already happy with my shape (no more saddlebags!) and it can only get
better in the next few weeks!
