Check out the website for Elyzea – half the price and the reviews are fantastic!!
hiya, hey im gunna check em out now .. thanks hun .. are you gunna go with elyzea then? not mya anymore .. will u get ur deposit back??
xx
I am going to ask for my deposit back on Monday – I bl**dy well hope they give it back considering they gave the wrong price to start with. Having researched so much more and realised it is a complete mine field out there I am more than likely going to go else where. I am originally from SA (my sister still lives there) and have had some quotes from there so have been thinking about going abroad – having checked out elyzea, its even cheaper than going home (SA). Will definitely give them a go – consultation in London – and when you read the reviews you see what good value it is and what good service. i really don’t mind getting on a cheap flight to Belgium and if anything did go wrong as it could anywhere they are only over the ocean.
The elyzea website looksgood wow and they have aftercare here ,got me thinkin now x
Hi Ladies,
Really think hard before deciding surgery abroad. Always consider the aftercare policy that you are offered I doubt very much it’s as good as what you receive in the UK. A far as I am aware you are not really meant to fly shorthaul for at least 2 weeks after surgery. I have had 2 BA’s in the UK and beleive me you will not feel like lugging a suitcase/hand luggage, even getting on a plane….you are meant to take it easy!!!. If something should go wrong back in the UK it could also work out costly getting yourself back there to get the problem sorted…I doubt you would be covered for return plane fares. I beleive a lot of these companies just have a consultation room etc in the UK which can be very misleading…anything that goes ”really wrong” you will have to get yourself back abroad I think.
I just can’t see how the aftercare can be as good abroad as it is in the UK. A BA is a big step for a lot of ladies and yes I understand price does have a lot of bearing on decisions but going abroad is not always the best cheaper option. I personally would never have a BA done abroad knowing what I know now after 2 BA’s (how you feel, after pain etc,needing a nurse on standby,havinga PC close to hand help you etc). I know a couple of ladies who have had BA’s done abroad and were unhappy and it was a real struggle/hassel for them to sort appointments out to go back abroad….and costly.
Always look at the bigger picture before deciding on BA’s abroad.

Thanks Emma – I suppose its a personal choice and what one feels comfortable with. I know they do all of the consultations with the surgeons in the UK aswell as the after care in the UK so it wouldnt mean going back if anything went wrong. If the surgeon is as qualified as the surgeons here then there is no difference doing it another country – thats my opinion. I do hear what you are saying about lugging a suit case etc – but having someone with you would solve that.
When anyone mentions surgery abroad its seems to make people think that it some back alley operation – there is life beyond the UK.
Its all about personal choice and the bank account.
Thanks for your advice though.
Hey ladies, I already wrote this on one of the other messages but I will repeat here!! )
My friend went to Belgium to have her BA, and she had hers through the areola. It is sooooo much cheaper to have a BA abroad, it cost her altogether for 3 nights in belgium, the flights for her and her boyfriend, the surgery itself, and the consultations just
Hi Clark,
Yes I agree it is personal choice etc and it’s good to hear everybody’s different opinions on the forum.
All the best with your BA.

Personally I am going to stay with MYA because it just feels safer being in your own country, rather than going abroad in foreign settings with foreign people, and it could be quite unnerving and uncomfortable! Just my opinion though! )

Hi Wendy,
Yes.. That’s exactly some of the reasons why I chose to have my BA’s in the UK.

I agree it is a bit risky going abroad . There are a few ways to bring the cost of ba with mya the five hundred discount and 250 discount for day case and up to 500 for a late space i got mine for 3350 an even tho its been hard work to save id rather pay the extra an know if anything goes wrong like rippling or one is bigger or hangs lower i can get my after care without having to fly back . Hope this helps x
