My experience with Dr. Plovier / Be-Clinic This will be a long post! Reading these kinds of posts really helped me before my surgery, so I wanted to do a very detailed one myself. Something About Me – I’m from Germany, 28 years old, and I’m 168 cm tall and weigh around 57 kg. I’ve wanted to get a breast augmentation for a while. In my teens, I had a quite large but also perky chest. However, after gaining and losing weight and binding my chest for a couple of years (as I wanted to look more androgynous), the shape and size of my once beautiful chest changed significantly. Over the past few years, I’ve also started to appreciate the look of bigger boobs and a more feminine appearance. Through research and Instagram, my partner and I discovered Be Clinic in Belgium. We followed them for quite a while, looking at posts and stories, and then finally booked a consultation with Dr. Plovier in June 2024. We took the Deutsche Bahn from Germany to Brussels, which I cannot recommend!! The Deutsche Bahn always lets you down. It was fine for a weekend trip with the consultation, and we had a wonderful time in Brussels and at the Craves Hotel. But after surgery, during recovery, we definitely didn’t want to rely on Deutsche Bahn again, so we decided we’d go by car next time (it’s a 6-7 hour drive). The Consultation – The day of our trip for the consultation finally arrived. I didn’t really know what to expect, but the clinic looked really fancy, modern, and tasteful. I can be a very shy person, and I was incredibly nervous, but I felt very warmly welcomed by the nice and friendly staff. I was also relieved that it was okay for my partner to do some of the talking, as he’s more calm and collected and a native English speaker. I was so nervous that I could barely focus and sometimes reach a point where I don’t even know what I want or why I’m there. I’ve always been like this, especially in “new” situations but I’m working on it. So we sat down in the waiting area, and after some time, we heard my name. We got up and went into the doctor’s consultation room. He asked me why I came in, and I explained what I wanted and why. I had a little vision board ready on my tablet with images of boobs I liked in terms of shape and size, so I showed him. He looked at it for quite a while and made a few notes. He also had a slight smirk on his face, which I think was because some of the examples I had were actually from his own work. Then he asked me to get up and undress my upper body so he could take a look. He examined and measured, then said he could get me results close to what I showed him but would need to do a crescent lift on my left side. He also showed me the type of implants he uses (Motiva) and mentioned that he doesn’t do the “try-ons” anymore, as, in his experience, they can give a false idea of the final look and feel, so he doesn’t recommend them. He asked me a few times if I had more questions, but as the shy person I am, my mind went completely blank. Honestly, though, I already had all the answers I needed and felt confident about getting the surgery done by him. Overall, I’m very happy we traveled all the way to Belgium for the consultation. I know there are options for virtual or email consultations, but personally, I needed to meet the doctor in person to get a gut feeling and make my decision based on that. That same day, we made the appointment and had to put down the deposit within a few days. Everything was set and booked for September. The Surgery – Honestly, I was counting down the weeks and days until the 9th of September. I just wanted it done. Everything was organized, planned, and booked. As the date got closer, I became more and more nervous. My main worries were about the anesthesia and the medication afterward. I had originally planned to only take paracetamol, ibuprofen, and antibiotics since I knew I handled those well. Spoiler: As soon as I was out of surgery, I took anything they gave me to feel better, haha! We stayed at Villa Terlanen, about 10 minutes away from the clinic by car. I would totally stay there again - it was perfect for us, and we might even go back for a visit. It had a big comfy bed, large windows, a nice outdoor seating area, and was surrounded by forest and fresh air. The only downside was the steep staircase leading up to the villa, which was a bit tough to manage right after surgery. But by going slowly and with my partner guiding me, I managed just fine. The day of surgery arrived, and I was so nervous and anxious that I ended up with a full-on migraine. Not being allowed to eat or drink until after the surgery didn’t help either, especially since my appointment was at 1 pm. By the time we drove to the clinic, I was ready to be put under just to escape the migraine! The closer we got, the more panicky I became. I even had a little cry in the car on the parking lot. My boyfriend, trying to console me, said, “No one’s forcing you to do this… You don’t have to go through with it if you want to back out.” That was all I needed to jump out of the car. There was no way I was going back home without my big boobies! We arrived and checked in. Looking back, I feel a bit bad about the post crying face I showed up with - l receptionist seemed a little surprised, and I also felt bad for my boyfriend, as it might have looked like he dragged me there. I swear, this is just a “me” problem. I’m a total crybaby when it comes to anything medical. No matter how much I want something, I always have a little meltdown beforehand and overthink every tiny detail. You should have seen me before getting my wisdom teeth removed! The Room – We were guided to our room for the stay. It was bright, tidy, with a balcony and a nice view outside. My Boyfriend helped me to put on the compression stockings we had to buy for the surgery (the clinic sells them for 30€). They also gave me a fluffy robe and slippers, which I got to take home afterward. After a while, Nurse Brigitte came in, introduced herself, and told me she would be taking care of me today. She was super lovely and immediately made me feel comfortable. She mentioned that the doctor was still in surgery but would come to me in the next 30-60 minutes. The time passed, and I had my final consultation before the surgery. The doctor asked me again about the cup size I wanted, and I said D or E but I wasn’t 100% sure. But I brought my vision board again, which I had updated with a few more images. When I unlocked my tablet, he commented that he liked my background picture, a photo of my favorite flowers (blue/purple Hortensias). This little human interaction helped me to feel more connected and comfortable - a small detail, but it stuck with me. He looked at my vision board and noted that the sizes and shapes were quite varied. I explained that I wasn’t totally sure what I wanted, but I knew I wanted boobs on the bigger side, just not crazy big. He repeated, “Big, but not crazy big” and nodded. I told him I trusted his judgment and experience to choose what would suit my body best and look visually appealing on me. That I didn’t wanted the super fake look but also not too natural droopy. I mentioned that I had read reviews where people wished they’d gone a little bigger and that I didn’t want to have any regrets. We both felt comfortable with that, and he started drawing on me for the surgery. He asked me a few more times if I had any last questions, but I was ready to go. When he finished, he reassured me that everything would go great and turn out well, which sounded genuine and made me feel good. He then told me that the anesthetist and Nurse Jennifer would come in next and joked that I should let him know how good the anesthetist’s German was. I went to the bathroom for one last look at my boobs - kind of saying goodbye to them, haha. Then the anesthetist and Jennifer came in to talk about the anesthesia. They introduced themselves, and the anesthetist (whose name I sadly don’t remember) joked, “I’m here to legally drug you up,” which made me giggle. Nurse Jennifer immediately sensed how nervous I was and was so comforting and bubbly that I felt better right away. I told them both about my raging migraine and some other personal medical history. They laughed and said the migraine would soon be a distant memory. Jennifer wrapped her arm around me and guided me to the theatre as my eyes started to get a little teary. To my surprise, the operating table was warmed up and super comfortable. Jennifer tucked the robe over me like a little blanket. Both she and the anesthetist kept chatting with me, doing their best to distract me and ease my nerves. By this point, my legs were shaking! The last things I remember were the anesthetist saying he’d send his friends and family to this clinic because it’s hard to find a place like this even in Belgium, and me thinking how funny it was to be hearing German in this place and situation. Jennifer mentioned that she manages the clinic’s Instagram and got excited when I told her I watched all their stories. I also told her I have two Maine Coon cats. And then… I was out. Waking Up – Memories started coming back when I was wheeled back into my room. Later, my boyfriend told me that the first thing I must have said was that I was cold. Apparently, they asked him to step out for a moment so they could prepare the room and warm it up for me. I have no memory of this, haha! The next thing I remember is me lying tucked in bed, with my boyfriend coming in. Brigitte told me that everything went well and brought me an ice popsicle. I asked her if I could finally drink something, but she said I had to wait another hour. That ice popsicle was the best thing ever. Honestly, I felt quite good after waking up, no nausea, no sore throat. The anesthetist must be really good at his job! I looked down and thought, “Okay, they look big!!” I was happy! One of my worries was coming out too small. It all felt so surreal after all the research, following the stories on Instagram, reading reviews - and now here I was, waking up from surgery with what I hoped were my dream boobs. Brigitte checked in on me often, reassured us that we could stay as long as we needed, and helped me when I needed to go to the bathroom. Dr. Plovier also stopped by shortly after the surgery. He said everything went really well and even showed me a before-and-after picture on his phone. (I still want this picture to this day since it wasn’t posted even asked the nurse before we left if I could have it and she said yes and did a little note, but I understand that they’re busy with more important things!) The Doctor told me that he had put in 575cc, which surprised me because I thought I’d be under 500cc! I was so happy because I knew this definitely wouldn’t be too small. I was also really glad I got to see Dr. Plovier again after the surgery. Around 6/7 pm, we left. Brigitte went over all the medications with us, and we bought another surgical bra since I have to wear it day and night for 6 weeks, and then another 6 weeks just at night. Brigitte wheeled me to the car and gave me a proper hug goodbye. She was so lovely! After Surgery I felt like an elephant was standing on my chest - such a heavy pressure. The pain was bearable, though. We even drove to a sushi place around the corner to get dinner. I was so hungry, and finally having some food felt amazing. We stayed one more day in Belgium so we could attend the 48-hour check-up before driving back to Germany. I don’t have many memories from that time, other than being in pain every time I moved. I took all the medication. The oxycodone made me a bit nauseous, but it was better than the pain. I was pretty much drugged up with painkillers the whole time. One night, I got up to go to the bathroom with my boyfriend’s help and didn’t listen to his advice to take it slow. I stood up too quickly and suddenly found myself on the floor. Luckily I didn’t hurt myself! I have to admit I completely underestimated the recovery process. Going in, my biggest worry was the surgery itself and the pain meds afterward. But this is a major surgery; the implants I got are definitely on the bigger side, and on top of that I also had a lift. The day after surgery was still okay, as I knew I could just lie in bed all day, sleep, cuddle, and watch movies. One of the nurses called us in the afternoon to check up on me, and we had a lovely, bubbly chat. I think it was Jennifer. Also, get yourself a big pregnancy pillow! It’s essential for recovery. The Travel Back The next day, I felt a bit rougher than the day before. Getting dressed, walking to the car, and getting in was a struggle - I felt like a zombie. The check-up appointment went well and was important. A nurse, whose name I sadly don’t remember, but she was just as friendly and bubbly as the other two, changed my dressings, asked how I felt, and checked if I was ready to travel. When she heard how long I’d be in the car, she suggested I put the compression stockings back on. My boyfriend quickly got them from the car, and she helped me put them on. I also had my first glance at my boobs. They looked big and a little funky, but I was prepared for that - I knew they’d take weeks to settle and look good. Dr. Plovier had also warned me that they wouldn’t look their best in the first few weeks. They felt very heavy when I took the bra off. We scheduled another check-up appointment with the doctor in 12 weeks - this time via video call. The drive back was very exhausting for me. We drove straight for 7 hours without stopping. It probably would have been better to take 1-2 breaks to walk around a bit, but I think we both just wanted to get home as quickly as possible. I was also worried about the pain of getting in and out of the car. This drive confirmed that taking the car instead of the Deutsche Bahn was 100% the right decision. When we finally arrived and I got out of the car, I didn’t feel well at all. I was nauseous from the medication, and after sitting for 7 hours, I felt very light-headed. But we made it home! First Days Home My boyfriend took amazing care of me all day and night. I was in pain, but the medication really helped. Most of the time, I was in bed playing Stardew Valley on my Switch or watching shows. Something I wasn’t prepared for was that I couldn’t go to the bathroom. By Friday (surgery was a Monday) we called the clinic because I started to look six months pregnant and felt uncomfortable. They told me to try stopping the oxycodone, as it can cause constipation. I also took some over-the-counter medication from the pharmacy, and both of these helped. Just be prepared for this, as I didn’t had this issue on my bingo card. It definitely brought my boyfriend and me even closer. Second Week of Recovery - This is the present. As I’m typing this 12 days after surgery, I can say this week has been different from the first one … obviously. However, I still underestimated the second week. I thought I would feel much better by now, but I made the mistake of trying to stop the ibuprofen too early and not waiting a couple of days to be pain-free. This seemed to disrupt the pain medication levels. While I can move much more freely now and don’t need help with every little thing, the pain from the lift on the left side was really bad this week. At times, I felt like going up the walls because of the painful pinching sensation. I was so worried I might have hurt myself with a sudden movement that I called the clinic again. They reassured me and advised me to continue taking the ibuprofen since my comfort is the most important thing right now. Just knowing I can call them anytime and that they take the time to listen to my worries means a lot. As for the appearance of my boobs, I find myself looking at them more and more. I occasionally open the bra to sneak a peek. I have to admit they already look and feel so much better than last week, and I’m excited to see how they’ll change and settle over the next few weeks—especially when I only have to wear the surgical bra at night and can finally go bra shopping! In two days, I’ll be getting my stitches removed by a local nurse, which I’m looking forward to. Then it’s just one more week with the dressings, and I can finally take a proper shower again! I will keep doing updates! I have a consultation in Berlin this November for a nose job. Depending on how well that goes, I’m also considering going back to Be-Clinic for the nose. I just wish there were more reviews about it!
Yet again dr plovier has met my expectations and listened to what I wanted. Totally easing my fears of belly buttons his work and care was excellent as always. The whole team are fantastic and I’d never consider going anywhere else. My back scar had to be slightly higher to achieve smooth results, more pics to follow in the coming weeks :) Updated on 20 Dec 2024: Loving my results :) it’s like freedom and finally being comfortable in my skin. My belly button is now shown off proudly!! I still have my womanly curves too, no BBL required. Will start building muscle in the new year
I promised my girlfriends I’d document my breast augmentation journey here -sorry I’m late to start! Before the surgery: In September 2023 I emailed Beclinic to express my interest in a breast augmentation with motiva ergonomix 2 implants (I had little tissue of my own and wanted a natural, soft result) and an internal bra placement. They promptly emailed me back and let me know foreign patients should book a video consult or email consultation. I had shared in my initial email I live in Belgium but thought perhaps it was a remnant from Covid measures to decrease contamination risk at the clinic. Though I wanted an in person consultation I went ahead with the email consult and received a quote for the price. I confirmed an appointment day for surgery some time later by phone. This actually turned out great as I later received an in person consult weeks before the surgery. Pre surgery appointment: I had an in person consult to determine sizes as the clinic did not have the ergonomix 2 implants stocked so possible sizes needed to be selected. My initial impression of the clinic was that it had a nice, cozy feel. The receptionist was a very friendly woman that was accommodating to my awful Dutch and quickly switched to English. As a matter of fact, all of the staff at Beclinic did so, which while not necessary, is something I really appreciate as it just shows the extra effort to make me feel comfortable. I waited around 40 minutes in the waiting room where there are couches, magazines in Dutch and French, and WiFi available. Once called back for the appointment I met and spoke with Dr. Plovier for the first time. He took my measurements, agreed that motiva ergonomix 2 were a good choice for me, but disagreed about the internal bra placement I requested. I shared I had been told in a previous consultation with a different surgeon that I had ptosis and was concerned about further sagging. Dr. Plovier disagreed and said if there was ptosis it was not notable and the internal bra was unnecessary. I appreciated the honesty as of course he could have happily agreed and charged me for the extra procedure. Having the integrity to only do what is necessary for an aesthetic outcome is a huge plus in my book and sealed the deal for me; I paid for the surgery that same evening after the consult. I left the consultation confident this was the correct surgeon for me as he listened to my preferences but ultimately told me what would give the best result. The only thing I would change about the consult is listening to my gut and asking about the cc size. During the consult he said he selects the size that will best match my silhouette and does not discuss cc’s with patients. This made perfect sense to me but I still should have asked at the appointment. The following day my curiosity was overwhelming and I reached out to the clinic to ask about which sizes were selected. I was really surprised that such large cc volumes, 450cc up to 580cc were selected because in previous consultations with other surgeons I was told 260cc maximum would fit my frame. I reached out to the head nurse, Valerie, who was extremely kind and understanding of my concern. She shared why the sizes were chosen but also selected some smaller options for me in case on the day of surgery I wanted to choose smaller. Having the option to go smaller set me at ease and I didn’t feel nervous again until the day of surgery. Surgery day: I was given instructions to wash with a special anti microbial soap, fast, and show up to the clinic by noon. At the clinic I was taken to a private room with a bathroom where I read on my phone until about 3pm when I saw the doctor again. He marked me up for surgery then said I’d be called in for surgery in about an hour, after he finishes another surgery. I felt calm until around 4/4:30pm when two nurses entered to lead me to the operation room (Jennifer and sadly I cannot remember the other nurse’s name.) They were both very warm and kind, but I just couldn’t get out of my own head, worrying about the impending operation. I kept thinking about statistics like surgeries performed at the end of the work day having higher incidences of complications and the fact that while it was cosmetic, it was still real surgery I was about to undergo. The nurses sensed that I was anxious and went above and beyond to try and help me relax. I cannot thank enough the nurses for their kindness. In the operating room I met the anesthesiologist and nurse Valerie. The anesthesiologist talked me through the process of administering anesthesia which I found really interesting and it gave me something concrete to focus on. Valeria was very sweet and stroked my hair while I drifted off. I woke up feeling like no time had passed at all and I wasn’t in any pain. Normally I feel very sick after anesthesia but the anesthesiologist must have done a phenomenal job because I wasn’t sick at all. I felt quite well and energetic after just 30 or so minutes of waking. Nurse Bridgett was quickly by my side to ask if I needed anything. She was sooooo helpful and kind. After an hour or so pain started to kick in on the left breast but nothing crazy. The nurse kept telling me there was no hurry to leave and reminding me she’s there if I needed something. I found that so thoughtful and unexpected. I didn’t feel rushed at all. Before leaving the doctor stopped in to check on me, I also didn’t expect this and found it a very personable way to end the stay. I went home feeling fairly well and my impression was that the staff really ensure you’re okay before they let you leave. Post op week 1: I won’t sugar coat it, I woke up on day 1 in the worst pain I had ever experienced. I was very swollen of course but I noticed the left breast was sitting all the way up at my collarbone and much more swollen. I was eager to see my operation table photos posted on the Beclinic instagram story and checked it the day of operation and everyday for weeks after but they were not posted. I have to assume because my left breast decided to swell up and sit at my collarbone hahah. For several days after the surgery I had to stick to the pain medication schedule to a T. I hate taking pain medicine but it was absolutely necessary. I had a lot of swelling under my sternum. I sent photos and was ensured it was all normal and part of the healing process. Overall I really struggled week 1. I am so so soooo glad Dr. Plovier and the nurses told me this can be a very painful recovery because even with the expectation that it would hurt, I was floored by the amount of pain I experienced. Everyone heals differently and I was not one of the ladies that feels back to normal after a few days. Also, to allow the stitches to heal properly without getting infected, I had to avoid a shower until the stitches were removed. Of course I took daily bird-baths with sponges and rags to avoid wetting the bandages but I so missed a hot shower. I would gladly deal with that inconvenience than get an infection though. Week 2: I was still in quite a lot of pain. I had my stitches removed at Beclinic and the nurse noticed my skin was open on one side from irritation. She applied some antiseptic and bandaged it to give it some extra tlc. I was told to wait to shower for a few days. I asked nurse Bridgett if the higher position of my left breast compared to the right was normal and was assured that they will become more even as they heal. Week 3- I apologize for any spelling or grammar errors here. I’ve pasted the rest of this post from my diary in my notes app and I don’t have time to edit it right now. I developed a lump of fluid on my left breast near the armpit. In the information packet I received from the clinic, lumps of fluid under the skin are described as seromas. It is not near the incision but otherwise it looks and behaves identically to seromas described in the info packet I was sent home with. The right breast has a very full lower pole and the band I’ve been instructed to wear day and night causes pain in the bottom half of my right breast. Left implant doesn’t seem to want to budge. March 6: The fluid lump has been gradually decreasing and it’s basically gone now. The left breast is still a lot more swollen than the right and sits higher. The right is starting to take on a nice shape. I noticed after the operation that the incision was placed higher on the right, it sits on the lower side of the breast instead of in the mammary crease. This causes the scar to be larger and more visible so I’ve been using scar tape everyday in the hopes of reducing it. On the left side, the scar is gorgeous. Perfectly hidden in the mammary fold and so thin already. I still put silicone strips on it though. Month 1: Working, chores, and light exercise like going on walks all feel normal now. I think I’m healing well. Month 3: I’m around three months post op now and still waiting for this dramatic asymmetry to lessen. About two weeks ago I contacted the clinic and sent a photo to show what I meant. The lower pole on the right is large and hangs (I think) naturally. I am taking photos of the scar placement to make sure it’s not further migrating upwards on my breast. The left on the other hand is being stubborn. It’s still early in healing so I’m not too worried yet. The swelling has dramatically decreased and it’s descended about the same amount as the right did. However, because it started higher, this has left it higher. It still has a couple of inches to go. Its lower pole is small and upper pole very full. Somehow this gives the illusion in clothing that it’s bigger and nude it gives the illusion it’s much smaller (this is my naturally larger breast so that’s not possible as I had 450cc placed on both sides). I will attach some photos and try to label them clearly so the progress is easy to follow. Wish me luck on the rest of the recovery ladies I don’t know yet how many stars to give -I am just documenting my recovery. I will update it once I know the final results. Updated on 13 Sep 2024: Hello all. It’s been 2 months since the revision. My apologies for the delay in updating this review. I appreciate all the messages of support and interest in my progress. As of right now, I’m feeling a bit discouraged as they still look uneven. On the right side, the majority of the implant sits in the lower pole and on the left side (where I had the revision) the majority of the implant sits in the upper pole. I shared my concerns with the clinic about a month ago and was advised to wear my compression band and that the situation would be revisited at my follow-up appointment. The staff are helpful and professional as ever. For now, I’m wearing the band and just waiting for my follow-up appointment to speak with the surgeon. He’s the best in Belgium and I selected this clinic due to their great results among other factors, so I’m trusting the process and trying to stay optimistic.
I had begun to notice fat pads under my eyes and they made me look older. Trying to disguise them with make didn't work as it got stuck in the shallow creases. I went back to my favourite surgeon in Belgium, Dr Plovier to have them fixed Updated on 21 Mar 2024: I booked an all inclusive package with BeClinic. This included 2 nights stay at the Tangla Hotel Brussels, chauffeured journeys from and to the airport, also from and too the clinic. Aftercare medication also included. Makes it all such a smooth trip. I was picked up at the hotel and taken to BeClinic at 13:00 - I let the lovely receptionists know that I was very nervous as was only having a local anaesthetic so they gave me a Xanax to take the edge off. When I called in to Dr. Plovier I was marked up and test to go. The procedure took around 45 mins and I would say I was only uncomfortable for around 5/10 mins through the whole procedure. Once finished I stayed around a while to make sure everything was ok and then got the car back to the hotel. I was given a pack full of information when I left and a timetable to take the different medications that were provided. I didn’t sleep very well the first night but had a mid morning nap and felt a little better. Will update again tomorrow

I’ve also got black crust neater the wound but was told it’s ok I’m healing good and that will eventually drop off
I had my breast expanders augmentation surgery with dr. Plovier one week back. I must say my first impression, when I arrived to the clinic, was amazing! Clinic is very beautiful, clean, everything is just so professional there! All the stuff at the clinic is very kind and helpful. If you have any questions, or you need something, they are there always for you also through the e-mail, they always answer to all my questions. Before my surgery, I had a consultation with dr. Plovier, I really appreciate when doctor’s ask you what you want or what you expecting from the surgery so you know they really care what dr. Plovier exactly did and he is a very honest with you. He is also a very professional and made me feel more comfortable, as like all nurses and anesthetist on there. They are all amazing! So caring and so so kind and they really know, how to calm you down. Since it was my first experience on this clinic and it’s always different when you travel for surgery to another country, so it’s normal to be in some bit of more stress, but they all were so amazing, so after few minutes, my stress was gone. After the surgery, nurses came to my room frequently to check on me, if i need something and also explain me everything about after care and pills shedule. Dr. Plovier also came to my room after the surgery and explain me exactly what they did. So as soon as I feel good to go, I was able to go back to the hotel. Next day, I recieve a call from nurse, if Iam feeling a good, if i need anything or have any questions, so you know you are never alone.They are there always for you! Thank you again to Be Clinic, I think you are the BEST Clinic I ever visited. Dr. Plovier is amazing surgeon and all the team was incredible. Wish i could give you a more then just 5 stars. Thank you again for this amazing experience and can’t wait to see you all again for my another fill!
I booked my appointment 16 months in advance to see Dr Plovier, and it turned out my surgery day was the day before my birthday, so that was a lovely coincidence. On the day of surgery, my trip to Belgium was a nightmare, but the second I got to the clinic the staff were so understanding and kind, they immediately put me at ease and reassured me. I was taken to my private room to wait to see the anaesthetic and then to see Dr Plovier, both were lovely, kind and welcoming. I told Dr Plovier what I was looking for from my surgery, and left the implant size up to him. When I was taken round to be put under, the women were wonderful, it was like being looked after by friends, laughing and joking, talking away about our kids and lives, the women who work at this clinic are all outstanding. I woke up back in my private room, and was given a little while to rest and doze for a bit while the last of the anaesthetic wore off. I was brought in an ice lolly and some water, and the nurse went through all my meds with me that needed to be taken, how long to wear the bra for and what to expect over the next few weeks/months. I stayed at a hotel round the corner, and the next morning one of the nurses called to make sure I’d slept well and if I had any questions before my check up later that day. I went back for my check up, where the nurse checked over all my bandages etc and went back over all the details for the coming weeks in terms of meds and when I needed to wear the bra, when I could shower etc. I’m now 8 days out of surgery, I’ve never been in any pain, some mild discomfort and an achy feeling, like after a work out, but I’ve been able to sleep no problem and travelled back to London the after surgery with minimal discomfort. I’m so happy I went with Be Clinic for my surgery, Dr Plovier and his entire team are incredible, from the actual surgery to their bedside manner, the care and devotion to their patients is second to none. If you’re thinking of getting surgery at Be Clinic, 100% do it, you won’t regret it. Updated on 23 Oct 2022: I took my dressings and steristrips off today, a little earlier than the recommended 3 weeks, as I’m allergic to the adhesive and the itch gets worse the longer I leave it on. My scars already look amazing. They feel a little thick, and you can feel where the stitches were, which is completely normal, but I’m so impressed with how minimal the scarring is already. They’ll be completely invisible once fully healed! My implants are slowly starting to settle, I haven’t needed to take painkillers for at least a week as I’ve been in no pain at all. The skin across my breasts is itching where it’s slowly stretching, but I’ve been using a cream to soothe it instead of itching, which will help to lower the chances of stretch marks too. Updated on 28 Oct 2022: 3 weeks post op, feeling good, implants are slowly starting to drop into place a little, can’t wait until fully dropped to see what they look like. Scars are minimal already, have been massaging them and use a scar treatment cream to soften them up. Updated on 12 Dec 2022: I’m 9.5 weeks post op and I LOVE my boobs, they’re everything I hoped for, they look and feel great, the scars are healing amazing well. I wore a dress the other day and went braless and got so many compliments on how great and natural they look. I cannot wait to go bra shopping soon!
Following an 11 stone weight loss I was left more droopy than spaniels ears. I’d decided from research that I wanted Dr Plovier to be my surgeon and was willing to wait as had my heart set on it. I’m sooo pleased I did, he was amazing and now 6 weeks out I’m so happy with my results so far. My lift was a full 6 inches and I’ve had Motiva 1050cc implants, fantastic work and given me confidence back. Updated on 1 Jul 2022: So 5 months out and going back into underwires bras and shopping for bikinis :). Haven’t worn one in 15+ years! They hold fab and definitely no regrets my clothes look so much nicer and confidence in myself better now. I still use nightly scar cream but there really smooth anyway Updated on 10 Sep 2022: So we’re finally managing to get away and I’m going to wear a bikini for the first time ever. The body needs work I can accept that but my confidence is now at a level where I will flash the flesh a little more :)
