After having a rupture of my implants, I chose Sara ulens to replace them . It has been two weeks and already they look amazing . I was worried about the size of the implants being too big , but they look really good. I trusted her to go with what she thought would look best and I am really happy . She is very friendly and really listened to what I wanted . Have very little bruising and the scars are healing well . Highly Recommend
I went in for a breast reduction with Dr. Sara Ulens at Sint-Maarten Hospital. Dr. Ulens was very understanding and listened carefully to my wishes. She did an amazing job by not only reducing the size of my breasts but also ensuring they are aesthetically pleasing. She works with care and detail resulting in a quick and smooth recovery! I couldn’t be more happy with the results so far.
I have almost no breast tissue of my own and have always wanted a breast augmentation but have been held back by my fear of needles and hospitals. I have recently had therapy for this fear and have got to the point of being bored of it holding me back, so I have booked the opp for May the 17th 2019 at BeauCare in Brussels. I chose to go with them because I liked the focus on safety techniques in their web text and in the consultation. I felt the consultation was honest about the pain I will be in and managed my expectations about how natural my result will be considering how flat I am to start with. Plus, as someone who is terrified of hospitals, I liked the fact the BeauCare clinic looked more like a hotel. I think this will help calm me down a great deal. I really want the look teardrop shaped implants give, but am going with round because they are safer. In terms of size, I am aiming for a B-cup, for which I think will need 240-280cc implants. The surgeon recommended 260 in my consultation. Reading about the experience of other women on this site had really helped me feel more prepared, and therefore more in control, which helps with my anxiety. I hope that sharing my experience will help other women who share my fear, by reporting on what techniques helped me. I am currently using mix of affirmations, hypnosis, breathing techniques and watching videos of people having drips fitted by needle (to make it feel more normal). Has anyone else found anything that helped? I am also afraid of the anaesthetic - getting sleep paralysis and feeling sick and disoriented. It sounds like how I feel when I wake up from feinting. So far I have feinted after every injection I have ever had despite feeling calm when I walk in, and no technique I have used has helped much. I am far more afraid of feinting than the needle itself, but the two are too connected in my head to separate. Updated on 25 May 2019: Really sorry it took me a while to write this post. The opp couldn’t have gone better from my perspective and the results so far exceed all of my expectations. I couldn’t recommend Dr Sara Ulens or BeauCare more! The surgery building was beautiful and I really felt Dr Ulens listened to and understood what I wanted. We agreed on 260cc moderate cohesive gel sebin implants, and said if they didn’t fit Dr Ulens would go for 240cc’s instead. I decided to go for a bigger size since I wanted to avoid regretting not going bigger. Now I am post-opp they look huge to me, in a good way. I am really happy with the size and look forward to getting used to my new figure. The staff were all kind and professional throughout the process. So much so that even I felt calm. That said, I did faint whilst in the recovery room, but that is normal for me and I felt the staff dealt with it well. I didn’t feel any pain when I woke up from surgery and didn’t really feel my pain in the days following. I took a couple of paracetamol for the stiffness, but that was gone by day 4. By day 5 I had stated to get feeling back in my breasts (they were numb before that) and my upper abs recovered completely so I could get out of bed easily. I have been surprised at how quickly the implants have started to drop and fluff into place (see the difference between the day 5 and day 3 post opp photos). The only problem with not feeling any pain and getting my flexibility back quickly is that I have to constantly remind myself to be careful and not over do it. Updated on 25 May 2019: Sorry, I don’t know why my previous photos uploaded like that. I have rotated the 5 days post-opp ones and re-uploaded them. In my previous post i forgot to say that the IV is really nothing to worry about, even for people like me - who hate needles. It really was fine. The scar on my chest was there before the opp (see my before photo). Incidentally, does anyone have any advice about getting rid of such a thing? Updated on 1 Jun 2019: I couldn’t be happier with the results so far. They are still pretty hard but all the feeling in them has come back. I sill need to be careful not to raise my arms above my head, carry heavy weights or cycle. Although in myself i feel energetic and unrestricted ( I am going about my daily life as normal). I am so looking forward to ping back to aerial gymnastics in a few weeks time but am being a good patient for now. Updated on 14 Jun 2019: I am finally able to take off the surgical bra and wear a non-wired ‘normal’ bra. I fit a 30D! Such a change from the 32AA I was a month ago. They are a bit less hard now and have fluffed out quite a bit. Still very happy. Updated on 17 Jul 2019: My scars are a little inflamed, but everything else is going well.
Dr Ulens was very friendly and professional, I felt at ease the moment I met her and she reassured me as she gave me all the information I needed in detail along with recommending what was best for me, I started with a small 32B and I am now 32DD, under the muscle was the best decision as my boobs look amazing since recovery, after my procedure I woke up feeling tired and sore but not in pain and was given more pain meds as soon as I felt any pain; I was back in my hotel room less than two hours after and travelled back home the next day, the recovery process was more frustrating than painful but i would do it again, beaucare is just amazing all together, great staff and great service. Thank you so much Dr Sarah Ulens!!! My boobs look perfect! Updated on 6 May 2018: Updated on 2 Jun 2018: Updated on 2 Jun 2018:
Amazing, very professional surgeon, she knew exactly what I wanted and did the procedure with no complications afterwards. I had no bruising, no big pain afterwards and the results after 2 weeks are already fantastic. She explained everything in details and was very kind. I couldn't be more pleased. She spoke perfect English as well. I had a very small A cup size and wanted a natural B cup, we went with a moderate profile, 265cc under the muscle.
I thought I'd start my review now as the "experience" has already started. I'm having my surgery at Beaucare Clinic in Belgium with Dr Sara Ulens. I've done a lot of research and am very happy with my decision to have my TT in Belgium. Also the clinic staff are very helpful and answer emails the same day and often within an hour or 2. I had my initial consultation with a Beaucare Dr in Harley Street on Tuesday and was told they don't do the tummy tuck and breast augmentation at the same time, so I will be having them separately. A TT is my priority and I have been waiting over 15 years to have this done. I'm all booked in for 10th November. I will be having liposuction in that area as well. I'm tall and slim but carry weight around my middle. My last baby 15 years ago weighed 10lb 11oz so the skin is very saggy on my abdomen and I feel over weight and bloated even though I'm not. I will be having my breast surgery after Christmas. The cost of the surgery is less than half what I was quoted in the UK previously by another clinic and that didn't include liposuction either. I will update date with pictures and videos before, during and after my experience. Feel free to ask any questions. Updated on 15 Nov 2017: Just a quick update. I’m now home from Belgium and it’s day 5 post-op. My pre-op consultation with Dr Sara Ulens went very well. She answered all my questions and concerns before I asked them ie belly button shape and position and most importantly scar position. My scar is very low and belly button looks good to me, although is still swollen at this early stage. My first night was understandably uncomfortable. The next day I made sure I took all the pain medication I was given...you don’t get a medal for being a hero! Each day has been better than the day before. I’m very lucky to have my mum staying with me to do all the housework and cooking. It’s tough not to try and help her but I know how important it is not to. I’m adding before and after photos of my progress so far. Will update again in about a week. I’m happy to answer any questions. Updated on 27 Jan 2018: All is still good with my recovery. However, I have noticed that with my increasing my exercise regimen I am more swollen at the end of the day. This resolves itself overnight, and I know this is part of the healing process.
I've done recently my ba at beaucare clinic in Belgium. I must say I loved every little bit of the clinic Dr Sarah Ulen was fantastic and very caring the service was 5* . Now I went from 34A to 260L 280R, the pain depends of the person and also the type of precidure ,my was under the muscle to me has been extremely painful I wasn't expecting such pain ! But then again I'm in love with my boobs
I originally wasn't going to write a review, but I am so happy with my results and I'm still addicted to reading this site lol I'm now 1 week tomorrow post op and absolutely loving my results I started off a small 34a :-( I'm 31yo 5'6" and weigh 9st4 approx 140 lbs, after bf both my 2 children who are now 12&10 I was left empty n deflated n had always wanted to have a ba, I opted to go to Belgium since I had known a couple of my clients (I'm a nail tech) had theirs done there n they liked great! Plus it was cheaper , although very anxious I went for my consultation on 27th October and paid my deposit! Omg it was scary in 3 weeks I was to have a set of boobs lol everyday running up to procedure I scanned this site and the web absolutely addicted to boobs even my phone was full of pics???? lol So now I'm a week Tomo post op and I couldn't be any happier! I had Dr Sara ulens who was absolutely fantastic n very thourough and caring to my needs, I was originally told at consultation in London I could have 550cc as was wanting a DD cup outcome , on the day of surgery Dr Sara ulens advised that 475 UHP textured round silicone would be the max I could go for, but could possibly only have 435cc as one of my breast widths was smaller than the other, I trusted her judgement after she explained all, she finally said she will try 475 if they don't fit then 435 I was happy she was going to try :-) Once I woke I found the 475cc had been placed and I was ecstatic! :-) they were huge! I'm so glad I wasn't allowed the larger 550cc!! Haha Day one was a breeze I mostly slept got back to hotel and had a peek lol I instantly fell in love!! Day 2 I traveled back home to UK via Eurostar it was easy but uncomfortable being upright allday! My poor friend carried all my bags etc once I was home I took more sneaky looks n pics ! They look great!! No real pains just high and swollen very tight! In day 5 I had to be naughty and try my old bikinis and needless to say I can't wait for next summer lol Day 6 has been the worst I popped to shops with my friend and I had sharp stabbing pains run through my incisions, I was paranoid I had split them n rushed home , I was fine I just think it's because I'm not taking much pain relief as I've not had really any proper pains. Its now a week Tomo and I'm so happy still with my results, I can't wait to go bra shopping and be sized :) I'm going to post some pics I've taken so far this week and continue with progress, so far no bruising either but have suffered with a bloated belly as took 6 days to go to loo , did any one else have this problem? first of all I'd like to say thankyou for everyone else's reviews on RS that I read as it all helped and good luck to all those that are recovering or close to their date :) Updated on 27 Nov 2015: Not sure if it's normal but my right boob is so relaxed n starting to drop but my left boob as of yesterday is high n tight especially the muscle near my armpit :-( not a pain but it's like I can feel my implant squash against my arm if it's down the side? Not sure if it makes sense? I've lightly massaged it too try loosen up but not really helping :( can someone please tell me if this is normal? N how long can I expect it to be like this , I'm uploading a pic but you can't really see what I'm trying to say lol Updated on 2 Dec 2015: Will upload more recent ones soon Updated on 2 Dec 2015: These are today's pics. As u can see they are changing shape daily and getting softer today I could actually push them closer together which I've not been able to do so far lol :-) can't wait to see how they will look when fully dropped and fluffed , my leftie is now easing and dropping slowly too x Updated on 2 Dec 2015: For ceneri .. On the left is the 475ccHP (which is what I have) n on the right is 515cc mod profile hope this helps show u what I meant? Updated on 12 Dec 2015: I had 475cc silicone HP unders ,I was so worried with the d&f process as my right pretty much dropped straight away n left took until yesterday! (THat was my naturally smaller boob of the 2) Ha no pains from day one was just uncomfortable ???? but now sensitivity in nipples which i never had since i bf my children it's a strange but kind of nice numb/sensitive feeling, can't wait to be sized, through the d&f I have found them to be getting bigger has any one else found this? :-0 Had my stitches checked last week (2week mark) but turned out they dissolveables so didn't need removing n incision is very clean and neat healed already! Nurse was so shocked at how good I healed, Thrilled! Also brought silicone sheets to wear over my incisions and r very comfy to wear n helps promote healing and visibility of scars since I'm still wearing my BA bra n didn't want it to rub, 1 more week to go till I no longer need to wear it... Although I have to say I think I'll miss it!! Hope everyone is healing well xxxx
I had my breast augmentation done at Clinic Beaucare last Friday and I feel fabulous! They were so helpful and Dr Sarah Ulens couldn't of been nicer or more professional. I was seen at 2pm she talked me through the various options, even though I already new what I wanted (was a 32b wanted to go to a 32dd) I had under the muscle 435cc implants. I was back in the hotel at 6 watching tele. The first night was very uncomfortable I'm not going to lie but I haven't taken any pain relief since Saturday and I'm extremely pleased with the result so far. I'd highly recommend Dr Ulens and her team. Please feel free to ask any questions as I'm new to this blogging merlarky :) Updated on 31 Oct 2015:
Hi guys, I've read a couple of reviews on here and just wanted to let you know how my journey goes. So I have my consultation on 2nd April and I've put a reserve on the 9th may for my operation. I'm going with dr ullens as I haven't heard any bad reviews on her.. I've been wanting this since I was 15 but everytime I saved for them I had to use the money for something else.. But now is the time that nothing is going to stop me lol I'm 24, size 8-10 and I'm a 32 A... Here are some wish pics that I'm hoping to achieve...

And as expected from reading other reviews it was quick... Although he answered every question I had... He feels 400 cc would still look natural on me, and that my surgeon will decide properly on the date of surgery, he suggested that even if you have a morning op that you should stay over night, but I really want to go home the same day so ill just think about it... So all I got to do is confirm my surgery date and pay 2moro... Well excited now... The ball is finally rolling!!! [RS bleep] Updated on 29 Apr 2014: So excited!!!
