10 FACTS ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY ABROAD

1. Every year millions of patients travel internationally for healthcare ("Medical Travel"), also for plastic and aesthetic surgery.
2. The ISAPS ("International Society for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery") is the biggest official organisation of Plastic Surgeons worldwide. With the continued growth of the medical tourism industry, ISAPS has created a Medical Travel Guide in order to protect patients travelling abroad for plastic surgery.
3. For your safety, ISAPS strongly recommends to choose for a Plastic Surgeon, who is also a member of ISAPS. The title "Plastic Surgeon" is not allways a legally protected title.
4. Plastic surgeon Dr. Nelissen has been an active ISAPS member for several years and is a registered plastic surgeon (official title) in Belgium and The Netherlands. Global Care Clinic is one of the few Belgian facilities accredited by ISAPS. This means that the Global Care Clinic offers a “responsible” medical tourism option, in order to protect the patient.
5. Prices for plastic surgery in Belgium are considerately low, especially when compared to the neighbouring countries (United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands). For example, a breast augmentation in the Global Care Clinic costs €3.630 ALL IN.
6. There are no waiting lists in the Global Care Clinic and Next Day Surgery is possible for breast augmentations: having surgery the day after your consultation has many advantages: lower overall costs (no extra travel costs), minimal waiting time until surgery and less time away from work and family.
7. Global Care Clinic is very easily accessible by its central location in the Euregion, in the immediate proximity of 2 major highways and the border with The Netherlands and Germany. In addition, you are also welcome at our location in Knokke (Belgian seaside) for consultations and antiaging treatments.
8. Dr. Nelissen and the Global Care Clinic maintain high scores (9.7/10) based on more than 200 patient experiences.
9. Global Care Clinic offers a safe environment (state-of-the-art facilities / no MRSA / experienced and highly trained plastic surgeon).
10. Friendly and competent staff with the necessary language skills.
