So, I have always had somehow unlatching breasts, with my right breast being noticeably bigger than my left. I would say my right has been a D cup while my left a C. With having my two boys and extended breastfeeding involved, followed by weight gain and yoyo dieting, my whole body and certainly my breasts have been a mess. I have always looked at plastic surgery wonderingly, wishing I had the guts (and the money) to have breast implants. But they just were not for me. Hence the first time I heard of fat transfer, my ears pricked! LOL. I have been researching this on and off for over two years and then in 2015, happened to chance on Realself.com. That was quite something and I don't believe a day has gone by without me coming on here to look up one thing or another. It was during one such research that I read about 'cosmetic tourism' or something like that. So I started research and although there is not that much information online, Singelberg Clinic in Belgium seemed to have quite good reviews. Most importantly, I could not find any complaints about work done there. And then when I looked at their fees, my, oh my! I could actually afford it! I gave myself a couple more months to do further research and really decide if I wanted to commit to this procedure, even though there was no doubt in my mind, really, LOL. It was a good thing that because Dr Oelbrandt is based in Belgium, he offers online or even photographic consultations. I therefore sent him my pics and he responded with yes indeed, lipo and fat transfer to the breasts was possible on me. Still, I though a face to face consultation would be useful just to make sure we were on the same track as I would not want to travel to Belgium based on commendations made from photos. I therefore booked a consultation for one of the weekends that the doctor was going to be in London.

London Consultation with Dr O.

Ojah2000
I had my consultation in Central London on 6/2/16 at 6.20pm. We arrived a little bit early but were not seen until about 6.40pm. The consultation was supposed to take 30 mins but when mine started I saw why Dr O was running a bit late. He gave my husband and I full attention and time, even though the receptionist interrupted a couple of times to prompt him about timing. Dr O pointed out issues with my body which surgery cannot correct (including a hernia and my posture) and advised how to start on getting these sorted - seat ups! :((. I had prior to this consultation received copious information via email about everything to do with my surgery and an estimate on the cost. At this consultation, Dr O confirmed this cost and also agreed a fixed exchange rate in case I wanted to pay by euro - he was actually generous, agreeing an exchange rate of 1.3 euro to a pound, even though the rate at that time was a bit less. I was satisfied with my consultation and went on to confirm my date at the Singleberg Clinic in Beveren, Belgium for 10/3/2016 at 1.00pm.

So you had your surgery on the 10th of March? How are you feeling? So glad to hear that RealSelf has been helpful with your journey so far. Here is a forum for 2016 breast fat transfer. It's a bit quiet but it may be of some help. Looking forward to more updates!

Can't wait to see your results...which I realize takes time for everything to heal and settle in!
