Worth The Travel and Worth The Wait!
I am now 8 months post op and beyond happy with my results. I researched surgeons for a long time and found Dr.Bart via Instagram. I knew by looking at his patient photos that he was the surgeon for me. I loved how his work was natural and tailored to each person's face. I chose to travel to Dr Bart from the UK and I'm so glad I did. I waited 6 months for my consultation and was able to book the surgery for 4 months after that, and it was well worth the wait. Dr Bart's Clinic in Amsterdam is beautiful. You have a full nose examination with Dr Bart and a chat about what is possible, and he will make you an approximate photo result. Then you go upstairs to Sonja to discuss any other questions at all about the surgery. It's a thorough consultation that leaves you feeling very confident the service the Dr. Bart clinic provides.
The only anxiety I had was around the anaesthesia, I didn't have any anxiety about the surgery outcome because I knew how super specialised Dr.Bart was in preservation rhinoplasty. Sonja answered any other questions I had before the surgery via WhatsApp and even offered to have the anaesthetist call me to reassure any fears I had regarding the anaesthesia. The operating clinic and recovery ward is in a private hospital and is very clean, new and modern. When it came to the surgery, everyone in the room was so kind and helpful regarding my fears being put to sleep and I will never forget that. Sonja even held my hand! I felt so safe.
My pain during recovery was probably a 2, I did not find it painful at all - it's more an uncomfortable feeling as you feel very stuffed up and are feeling a lot of pressure, which is to be expected - but it's not painful. I had minimal bruising around my eyes and facial swelling which peaked and then slowly dissipated in the week after. I flew home 10 days after the surgery with my cast off and looking like I'd never had surgery. And best of all - no scars!
I flew over for my final check up 8 months post surgery and was sent the final photos a few days later. I can’t believe I finally have the side profile of my dreams that isn’t focused on the harsh angle of my old nose anymore. Now when I look at my side profile I see all of my face. I feel like it’s the nose I was always supposed to have, but it took the artistry and skill of Dr Bart to bring it into reality.?I feel so beautiful and confident. Even little things, like applying shiny makeup highlight to the tip of my nose because the tip does not droop down anymore, make me so happy. I did this for myself only, because only I know what it feels like to be me. It doesn’t matter what others think about my decision.
For anyone considering preservation rhinoplasty surgery with Dr.Bart Clinic, I cannot recommend them enough. I am so glad I got my preservation rhinoplasty with Dr Bart. He is warm, kind, professional and because he loves what he does, you will have the nose you have always wanted. Together with Sonja they are a dream team who make you feel reassured and welcome from the initial consultation right through to your final check up. Thank you for everything Bart & Sonja.
Specific advice to those travelling to the NL for surgery: I stayed in an Airbnb in Hilversum which is a beautiful town 30 minutes away from Amsterdam on public transport. My advice to anyone travelling for surgery is to book an apartment or house to stay in so you will have a kitchen to make your own food and aren't confined to just a hotel room during your recovery. It will feel more homely. You will have more house options and it will be cheaper if you book accommodation outside of Amsterdam also. The public transport in Amsterdam is so well connected and it's so easy to get around so you really don't need to stay central for your recovery unless you want to. The private hospital you have the surgery in is not central and the only time I went into the centre during the 12 days I was there was for my final check up in Dr. Bart's clinic before we flew home the next day.
