Amazing experience in Belgium, Dr Oelbrandt, breast augementation

I had been to 2 consultation in England for breast augementation, and then researched into going abroad, Belgium seemed to have fantastic reviews so I booked a consultation with Dr oelbrandt in London at the end of march, he was extremely honest and realistic and said he didn't cater for the fake look which is not what I wanted anyway. He also took photographs and I was sent a 3D simulated image of my expected results via email a week later so I could gauge what different sizes would look like.

I was adamant I wanted to go over the muscle as I'm already a empty c cup due to breast feeding and a lot of excercise .
I booked my procedure for 6 weeks later, I was sent very detailed information on how to book the Eurostar and hotel etc.
We arrived at the hotel and was extremely pleased with it, the rooms are lovely and modern and lovely food in the restaurant, we forgot to bring our swimming costumes as could have made use of the spa which also looked really good.
We arrived at the clinic at 9am where we went over again what size implant etc and decided as I was going over the muscle 375cc mentor implants would be ideal as I didn't want to look too big. I also asked him about having my under eye bags done and he told me I didn't need them done yet and to wait a few years, so its clear he's not just in it for financial gain! I was shown to my room where he marked me up then went straight through to the operating theatre. The nurses all made me feel at ease as I was quite nervous! The procedure was done under twilight sedation not a general but I was completely knocked out and didn't feel groggy or sick when I came round. I am really pleased with the results and the pain was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, feels like a major chest workout but slightly more painful and tightness but I could still lift my arms up above my head and dress myself etc.
I would 100% recommend Dr oelbrandt to anyone he always answered my many emails personally and took the time to listen to any concerns I had and put my mind at ease.
The nurses were all very attentive and made me feel at ease.
I'm one happy bunny :-))

Hello dear, your breasts look amazing already and the size really suits your body. I've booked with Dr Oelbrandt for mid October and I'm so sure he will make my dreams come true. You probably don't need it but wishing you speedy recovery x lol

Healing well

Its day 4 and everything has gone amazingly well, hardly needed to take pain relief if anything it feels like milk is coming in when breast feeding and as if you have worked out your chest muscles, i showered and changed the dressing, all looked fine, it's not as painful to take off the sports bra now, day 1 and 2 it was very uncomfortable and felt like they were going to drop off!
I'm hoping they stay a similar size to how they are now and they don't lose too much volume with the swelling lol ... Its hard not being able to do stuff around the house, it doesn't hurt to lift my arms up above my head but I don't want to cause any damage or distortion to the implant whilst they are still settling in :-)

Hello hun. Its the twilight sedation thing that more scares me. I would defo wanna be knocked out with a GA. I will ask him about this. What hotel did you stay at too? He emailed me a lot of information on travelling and hotels but its a confused me with overload! Lol
September 24, 2015
It was absolutely fine I was out for the count!! Completely gone it was as if I had had a general u just don't wake up groggy at all! It's much better, if u have a general u have to go to the hospital not the clinic as u need more monitoring and it's more stressful for the body x

Day 12

Serenityseeker28
Feeling so much better now, pretty much back to normal routines, had the knot on the stitch removed on day 10, I still get the odd stabbing pain here and there but was told that is where the nerves are kicking in again. They don't feel as swollen now, though I still am keeping the sports bra on 24/7.
Everyone comments how natural they look, Im so pleased I took the plunge and would recommend Dr Oelbrandt to anyone, people hear horror stories of traveling abroad, but the level of care and personable service and overall cleanliness of the clinic and everything far surpasses anything in the UK

August 14, 2016
Hi :) What profile implants did you have? I'm having 375cc over the muscle too in a weeks times so would like to know what profile yours are? Would you put a before and after up too? Thanks! x
August 15, 2016
They look good, but do you have a before to compare? A lot of girls are going to Belgium for this. Are you all English ladies? Is the cost so much cheaper is that the reason? Your quote says 2,900 is that pounds? Are they round/teardrop?
