Cosmetic Surgery - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Eyelid Surgery - Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the surgery?

Is eyelid correction an outpatient procedure?

You arrive at the Clinic in the morning, have your surgery, rest, and are ready to return to the hotel in the evening.

What type of anaesthesia is used?

Only a light form of sedation is required rather than a general anaesthetic. A few hours after the surgery you feel fine and have been spared the side effects and complications of general anaesthesia.

How long is the recovery?

The recovery period is four to five days for an upper eyelid and up to one week for a lower eyelid.

Breast Surgery - Frequently asked Questions

How long is breast surgery?

Depending on the surgery takes approximately 1 - 3 hours.

Is breast surgery an outpatient procedure?

The surgery is generally an outpatient procedure carried out under general anaesthesia. Normally, you arrive at the Clinic in the morning, have your surgery, rest, and are ready to return to the hotel in the evening.

What implants are used?

Our clinic fits, what in our opinion, are the best implants on the market; these are cohesive gel filled implants. Due to some complications with the salt-water implants, we do not fit these. Cohesive gel filled implants are round or anatomical in shape and come in varied sizes. We are careful to match you with the correct implant.

How are the implants inserted?

Modern cohesive gel filled implants, which are safe against leakage, are introduced through an incision in the fold under the breast. They are placed in a space between the breast muscle and the breast gland. Because of their shape, they give the breast a nice contour and feel soft and flexible.

Can I choose my bra size before my breast augmentation surgery?

Yes. Inform the surgeon of your wishes and he will calculate the required volume increase. Don’t forget to purchase and bring along the correct bra size for your new shape.

How long is the recovery and when can I return to work after my breast enlargement?

It takes a few weeks for the implants to settle. It is possible that after the surgery you will experience some slight chest and back pain. The breasts may also feel tense. In some cases, a supportive bra must be worn for ten days. Most patients continue with light activity immediately following surgery while all other activity can be resumed after three weeks.

Are silicone implants safe?

There is no scientific evidence that silicone causes breast cancer, arthritis or immune deficiencies. With liquid silicone gel filling, in case of damage to the implant, the leaked silicone has a tendency to spread through the body tissues. Modern silicone implants are made with a strong outer shell filled with a cohesive mass of silicone to avoid leaking.

After a breast enlargement will the implants ever need to be removed?

In some cases, the body forms a hard capsule around the breast and the breasts become hard and painful. The body can also reject the implants. Encapsulation and rejection are rare. Normally, complications do not occur and you will experience many years of pleasure from your implants.

How long can implants stay inside the body after a breast augmentation?

Hundreds of women still have their original implants after 20 years. Considering the better quality of modern implants, a significant number of patients are likely to have a lifetime of pleasure from the original implants. In the Clinic, we use implants with the strongest casings available according to CE-testing. Prostheses that have a known weaker casing are not used, even if the patient insists on a cheaper alternative.

After a breast enlargement, is a yearly check up required?

No. Breast implants of high quality reduce the chance of complications. Consequently, unless advised differently by the surgeon, a yearly check-up is not required.

Can I still breast-feed after my breast augmentation?

Yes. Breast enlargement does not affect breast-feeding potential.

Tummy Tuck - Frequently asked Questions

Will the Scar Fade?

As with all scars, within the first three months they are red and lumpy. In a year, they will fade considerably. This maturing process can be accelerated with a special highly concentrated scar improving oil.

How long does the surgery take?

For a mini tummy tuck, the surgery takes approximately 1-2 hours; the full tummy tuck takes around 3-4 hours.

How do I know whether I need a full or a mini tummy tuck?

With a mini Tummy Tuck, the surgeon works below the navel, which means that there will not be a scar around the navel. The straight abdominal muscles can be brought together. A small bag of skin can also be removed. This procedure is ideal for excess skin beneath the navel and for abdominal muscle problems also situated beneath the navel.

In case of excess skin and abdominal muscle problems above the navel, a full Abdominoplasty is recommended. The scar would be underneath the stomach but also around the navel, where it would stay red for a longer period of time but will fade away after complete healing.

What complications could arise after a tummy tuck?

After surgery, there is often a little swelling of the skin around the scar. This is temporary and will disappear after recovery of the Lymphatic system. In case the muscles on your stomach have been stitched, you need to wear a stomach garment for four to six weeks. Smoking, diabetes and obesity heighten the risk of healing problems.

Does the clinic supply garments or do I have to arrange for them?

Yes the Clinic will supply you with the necessary garments.
