Hi everyone, this is a long one. I went for a consultation for a ba with Elyzea on monday. I would have never thought of going abroad or even having a boob job til I found this forum and read all your comments! I saw the nurse sue dechamps who assists all of the surgeons during surgery so she knows their standards of work. After deciding on sizes (305left, 330right as ones smaller than the other!) I asked her lots of questions and she was very helpful. Then I asked her which surgeons would she personally recommend, expecting her to say Badiali as this is who I was going to request after hearing all the good stuff on here about him like he's the most requested etc etc. She said, if she was going to have it done herself she would pick one of the following surgeons stated in the title of this post. When I asked about Badiali she said 'he loves big implants' and will try and persuade me to go bigger and he's used to making bigger pockets. She said he is lovely and would be great if I wanted huge breasts but as I want to go to a full C/Small D she said Dr Tondu or Oelbrandt are best for me as hey really appreciate the natural shape of the breast. I said I would research Tondu on here cos she made him sound the best but she said I wouldnt find much as he's only been with Elyzea for 3 months! But he's in his 30s so he's probs been doing it for 10 years or something. She said she must have seen about 30 enlargements of Tondu's and all of then have had beautiful results and he is a wonderful surgeon.

What am I supposed to do now? Do I take her word for it and go with Tondu or do I stick to Badiali? I was thinking she could be good friend with tondu or he could be paying her to recommend him cos he's new! haha. But its not like she asked me first if I had any surgeons in mind...I asked her. Just really confused now, Id be ready to book it if I knew who to pick. Its really bad not knowing anything about your surgeon and not seeing any before and after pics!

So if any of De Donkers or Oelbrandts patients are still reading this LONG rant can you please give me advice and your pictures if you have any please! Wish I could see Dr Tondu's before and after pics but not heard of him at all on here.

Thanks for reading! Sorry its so long! x

Hi, me and my friend has brest enlargement last May at Elyzea with Dr Mouliam. They look abolutely fantastic and very natural looking and feeling, in fact my boyfriend forgets I have had them done! Anyone that has seen them has said they are the best 'boob job' they have seen, just like we did when we saw our friends who originally recommended us to Elyzea, she had Dr Badiali and her's look absolutely fantastic as well, in fact it was seeing her's is that made both of us finally take the plunge and do it.
I have since recommended my friend from work to Elyzea, she had an enlargement and an uplift and she is extremely happy aswell. It seems like they get most of their business from recommendations which is really encouraging. I know from my own experience that Dr Mouliam is absolutely brilliant and after seeing Dr Badiali's work on my two other friends I have to say his looks really amazing as well. It is scary with the language and different country but they are so lovely there and really put you at ease and the results are so good it is definitely worth it!

Oh and I know this thread is about breast enlargements but has anyone had experience of Dr Oelbrandt at Elyuzea doing Nose Reshaping? I have got my consultattion next month with him regarding the nose as he is apparantly the nose specialist at Elyzea but wondered if anyone can fill me in on how good he is?

Thanks!

Hi Emily, I recently went for a consultation with Oelbrandt and am just thinking about booking my op. I wondered if you went ahead with yours and how did it go? I'm quite nervous about it understandably!! Heidi

These are my Badiali pics

Hi I've already seen your pics too! Nosey me! but I was surprised how great and natural they look although I think they're massive! It was your pics that had persuaded me towards Badiali before the consultation cos i thought if he can make big ones look that good then i'll be fine with smaller ones but I didnt realise you had 335s! Thats only 35 more than i'd have and I thought u must have had 400cc's at least! I would LOVE mine to look like yours! Surely they cant turn out really hideous on me if yours look so good!? Just SO worried about the results! Seen so many that look like stuck on balls that make me think 'why take the risk!?' I think I might actually just get it over with and book it with him! Wish I could see what I'd look like with Badiali and Tondu to compare! I either take the nurses word for it or i take your word and your piccys! ... Badiali I think then! (?) Ah its driving me mad and i'd still have about 8 weeks to wait! If he's free then! x x

Go for it! I am sure Tondu is a fab surgeon though, so you will be in safe hands either way.
I booked with Badiali as a friend of mine had her op with him too; word of mouth. Also after the consultation I had with him I was confident he was the surgeon I wanted.

Thanks for your kind comments about my boobs too! I'm sure you will get great results whichever surgeon you choose; they are both completely pro's.

I meant to ask, you said to have a consultation with each surgeon and I would if I could but I thought i'd be seeing one of the surgeons in manchester but when I booked the consultation the woman said i'd just be seeing the nurse which I was disappointed about, but she still answered all my questions. Everyone on here has seemed to actaully meet a surgeon in theit UK consultations. I Still had to pay £30 too! So I don't think I could arrange to see all of the surgeons could I? I'd just be given the nurse again!

I went with Dr Badiali, the best choice I ever made!
As for him pushing for bigger implants, no way! When I decided the size of my implants he said 335cc in each will look good, but if I wanted to go bigger, the maximum he could put in would be 360cc. He said the choice is mine, and since I didn't want anything OTT, I settled with 335cc.
I LOVE the results, I was 34B, now a 34DD/E.

I had my consultation with him too, and not once did I get the impression that he prefers bigger implants. I mean, what advantage would that have to him? I specifically asked for something that would make a difference, but still be subtle in clothes. He recommended 335cc straight away.
And I don't look too big - my parents and some friends hardly notice. I look pretty much the same in normal clothes, although if I squeeze into a little top, or in underwear, I look pretty damn busty!

I'd say have a consultation with all those surgeons, and/or go with your gut instinct!

I would recommend Badiali any day

Good luck!

i would try and go for dr badiali as i think he is very good-i had my ba with him on saturday and have just taken of the bandages and they look amazing!i told him i wanted a d cup and he agreed with me and didnt try pushing me to go any bigger-after the surgery he told me he decided to go with the smaller implants we chose as they looked alot better.i would definatly recomend him to anyone

Think i'm definately swaying towards badiali now, after all he cant force me to go bigger than I want and 300s not exactly 240 or something is it! What size were you before? What size implant did u have and what are you now? Was your whole experience ok? And the pain? Cant wait to see some pics or yours if you'll be putting any on? Thanks for your help - I might be asking you for more of it! I'm so worried! x

I had dr.mouallem in the end (because i booked the consultation/operation package quickly), but i saw dr.oelbrandt in london in september and he was really lovely. Very patient, quiet spoken, could tell i was really self conscious and was really re-assuring. When i was in belgium after my op, i didnt have a great time after the anaesthetic and even though he wasnt my surgeon, he came in twice to visit me and calm me down and check i was okay. He actually emailed me after my consultation to say he was sorry i had to wait ages to see him and did i have anything else i want to know! he listened when i said i wanted v v natural boobs, and said he wouldnt put more than 250cc in me, and that he would choose and difference of 25cc between them (wonky before hah!). when i saw dr.mouallem he was MUCH keener for me to go bigger, he said at least 280cc, which is a nice thought but starting out with nothing meant he couldnt have fit that in anyway!! he said a difference of 30cc as well.. we agreed on 235/265cc on the day, but when i woke up he'd used 215/245 because he said it 'looked better' but i reckon he couldnt fit the bigger ones in! So yes. ultimately, id say if you want natural looking boobs, take dr.oelbrandt or the newer guy, i really dont think he'd pay a nurse to recommend him, the nurses and staff are all lovely and i think very genuine. if you want badiali he wont do a bad job but you have to be prepared to really stick to your guns and have pre-decided what size you want. I'm v happy post op but i will say that i think dr.oelbrandt was right in only doing 25cc max. difference cause my boobs i think look uneven. cant bloody win!! Good luck XXXXX

Hi
Dr Oelbrandt did my implants and he has done a fab job.
I found him really nice. I checked out his website which is www.plastichirurgie.info and googled his name and all i could find was good positive coments about him. I can honestly say that i was in no pain what so ever after my op, i felt a little woosy after and found it a bit uncomfortable getting up from sitting down but other than that i was fine and felt back to normal after a couple of days. I didnt even have to take the pain killers!!
I had them done 20/12/07 was a 34a and had 290cc (recomended by Dr Oelbrandt) and he told me I would be a full C small D, havent been measured properly yet but have bought a C cup bra and a D cup Bra and I am filling the D perfectly and im a little tight in the C cup.

My friend had Dr Badilai and she said he was brilliant. She was a 34a and is now a 34C/D, I was out with her the weekend comparing boobs (she had hers done a year ago) and hers look beautiful and very natural, they dont look big at all.

Hope this helps you a little bit.

Dr O really was a great surgeon.

If you need any more advise just ask away,

Thanks for the info and and advice from both of u. I've already seen your pics actually katieboo! And I have only got your pics to go off how good oelbrandt is! They look like they will be a great shape when they finally settle down as the pics are only 3 weeks post op and I know its supposed to take 3 months for them to soften and settle into their final position. So need to see your results 3 months in advance lol! What do they feel like on you now? Have you got used to them yet? I'm worried what people will think of me afterwards cos I'm in my last year at uni and I can imagine the lads sniggering and talking about me! At least I leave in May and want it done in march so I won't have to put up with it for long! x
