At Wellness Kliniek, you choose certified care with an international ISO quality label.
If you choose a clinic abroad, it is important that you are well informed about the quality of the clinic, the training and experience of the doctors, the possible risks of the procedure and the required aftercare. If you are considering cosmetic surgery abroad, check the qualifications of the clinic and the doctor, and verify in advance what you are paying for.
Choose for safe surgery in Belgium
The clinic's quality guarantees, the aesthetic qualifications of the doctors, the aftercare and warranty provisions are often overlooked. A reliable surgeon always works in a clinic with an internationally recognised quality mark. At Wellness Kliniek, we offer ISO 9001 certification, the international label for quality management.
Safe surgery and transparency are important to us. This way, you know in advance what to expect, from consultation and surgery to aftercare.
Choose for Next Day Surgery Service
Many British patients travel abroad for plastic surgery, an operation or aesthetic treatment. If you live further away, it is not always practical to have to wait several weeks after the consultation for the operation, because you then have to travel back and forth twice.
Wellness Kliniek has a solution for this. We offer consultation and surgery on consecutive days.
Next Day Surgery Service at Wellness Kliniek Belgium: You come to the clinic for a consultation with the surgeon and your surgery is usually performed within 2 days.
In general, we can see you within 4 weeks.
You can book the Next Day Surgery Service online.
Your surgery can only be confirmed after a personal consultation with the doctor.
The procedure takes place one or two days after the consultation.
For more than 25 years, patients from all over the world have been choosing our Next Day Surgery programme. Book early! Our waiting lists fill up quickly.
If you are considering plastic surgery, Belgium is an attractive option thanks to its short waiting lists and quick access to care. Whereas in the United Kingdom you sometimes have to wait months, in Belgium you can often schedule a consultation and procedure within a few weeks.
Belgian clinics, such as Wellness Kliniek, combine high-quality medical expertise with personal attention. What's more, you will enjoy modern facilities and a comfortable environment, ensuring that your treatment runs smoothly and stress-free. Choose Belgium and save time while being assured of safe, professional care. Wellness Kliniek does everything it can to keep waiting lists for plastic surgery as short as possible. In most cases, you can be seen within four weeks.
Choose qualified and reputable doctors
Wellness Kliniek works exclusively with certified and experienced doctors who have undergone high-level, specific training and have extensive experience in their aesthetic field. We select the best surgeons at home and abroad.
Our doctors are true specialists in their field. Aesthetic surgeons always have specific additional training and extensive experience in, for example, breast surgery, facelifts or other specialist treatments. This is an advantage over many hospitals, where surgeons do not always have the experience and additional training in an aesthetic field. The priority in general hospitals is (rightly) on treating the sick and repairing physical defects.
Cosmetic treatments are medical procedures that involve risks. It is important that you are well informed in advance about the options and the expected results. This information can only be provided by the doctor who will be treating you. At the Wellness Kliniek, every initial consultation is with the doctor themselves.
Choose for affordable plastic surgery abroad
Prices must remain reasonable. Extremely high prices are no guarantee of quality. Extremely low prices are even less so. British people often find cheaper plastic surgery in Belgium. Wellness Kliniek Belgium offers excellent value for money and is therefore very popular with women and men from the United Kingdom who are looking for affordable plastic surgery abroad.
Did you know that prices for cosmetic surgery in Belgium are generally lower than in neighbouring countries? On average, this amounts to savings of 20% to 50% compared to cosmetic surgery in countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and France.
Plastic surgery in Turkey or other North African countries is popular nowadays because of the low prices. However, there are advantages to choosing plastic surgery in a nearby country. European clinics must work according to high European standards and also provide aftercare.
Surgery always involves risks. For example, you may have a reaction to the anaesthetic on the operating table, which could result in you being admitted to the local general hospital. Are you insured for this? Are you willing to take the risk of ending up in hospital in Turkey in an emergency? First compare the prices of plastic surgery abroad. Also compare the financial risks and costs of plastic surgery in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Turkey before you decide. This will enable you to make a conscious and informed choice.

Please note: the clinic itself will not ask for this health insurance card. The card is mainly useful for any external surgical or medical services.

Are you not a British citizen or EU resident? In most cases, you will need a visa to enter Belgium. A visa can be applied for at your local Belgian Embassy or Consulate.
