I first had implants when I was young, incredibly...
Provider Review
After my first consultation, I was kept informed about what to do, where to go etc by both Dr Oelbrandt and Tahira. I had all the information that I could need to get me to Brussels and to the clinic. I was provided with mobile phone numbers in case of emergency and I found it very comforting that I had my surgeons mobile number in case I couldn't find the clinic etc. I got info on what hotels to stay at, their prices, taxi numbers, costs of transport and so on. I was travelling on my own and so all this info was very reassuring. Travelling on the Eurostar is easy and the clinic is very easy to find but if I was doing it again, I would remember to ask my phone provider to make sure I had international roaming and then I could have used my satnav which would have been even easier. The clinic was clean and bright. Small and not what I expected at all. I kind of thought it would be more like a hospital but the main thing is that it was spotless. Dr Oelbrandt greeted me and made sure I was ok. I met his staff and they were just lovely and I immediately felt at ease. Dr Oelbrandt seems to go into a zone on the day of the operation. He wasn't as chatty or jovial but it was clear that he was just in the Zone, completely focused on what he needed to do. I remember chatting to the anaesthetist and laughing but the next thing I remember I am waking up in the private recovery room. In my first operation, I was in a recovery room that was like a hospital ward. When I was ready, I got a taxi back to the hotel. which was a really lovely hotel called the Hotel Beveren. My room was huge and the hotel was beautiful and so clean. The food was good too. Dr oelbrandt had put me in touch with another lady who was on her own, with mutual consent of course and we met up for something to eat before the tiredness kicked in. Unbelievably, I had no pain whatsoever. Dr Oelbrandt had told me there would me there would be less pain than having implants but I had none whatsoever. I don't know why and it seems pretty incredible but I had pain killers directly after the operation but that is all I took. The other lady however, was in a lot of pain. she had under the muscle breast implants and everyone is different so I'm not saying it would be painless for everyone. I went home 2 days later armed with all the dressings and things I needed to keep my wounds clean. Dr Oelbrandt kept in touch and made sure I was ok. I didn't like having to change the dressings. That first look at your breasts after uplift surgery is shocking. Frankensteins monster comes to mind. I certainly had that panic of Oh my god, what have I done but then I knew I would look bad as uplift surgery has quite significant scars. I phoned Dr Oelbrandt as I was scared. things didn't look right to me. I had scars that looked wider than they should be and my nipples looked like pieces of stuck on salami. Eughhhhh! Dr Oelbrandt reassured me that this was all natural and that they would just get better and better, I just had to be patient and trust that if there was anything actually wrong, he would put it right. Well he was right and things did improve drastically. Give it at least 8 weeks before judging/ panicking! That would be my advice. You are NOT going to look pretty for a while! Now to tell you the end result. I now have natural breasts, no implant, no capsular contraction and they are nothing short of beautiful. Yes I have scars (I have been using Bio Oil since week 2). but they are fading fast. Dr Oelbrandt saved as much of my natural breast as possible so I ended up with a small C cup. I love them. They are so much lighter, more pert and more importantly they suit my frame and don't hurt. I have never been happier, I just wish I had met Dr Oelbrandt and his team years ago. I have had my post op check up by Dr Oelbrandt in Harley Street and all is excellent! I couldn't be more happy.
