#3 All about breast augmentation - Episode 3 of De Plastische Chirurgie Podcast

In what is already the third episode of De Plastische Chirurgie Podcast, we dive into a subject that almost everyone is curious about: how does the plastic surgery process really work? From the very first search online to the moment you go home after the procedure, and everything that comes with it.

Host Marit van Bohemen talks about this with plastic surgeon drs. Shai Fortuin, and with content creator and experience expert Beau Fleur, who has had both a breast augmentation and an eyelid correction. Together they take you through the entire process: openly and honestly.

Searching, choosing and building trust

Where do you actually start when you are considering a procedure? Google? Instagram? Or do you ask people around you? Beau explains how she found her way through the huge amount of information online and what helped her make a choice. Drs. Fortuin explains what to look out for when choosing a good clinic and specialist, and why a consultation is such an important part of the decision-making process.

The consultation: where everything comes together

How exactly does a consultation work? What do you discuss, what expectations can you have and which questions should you definitely ask? As always, Marit asks sharp, accessible questions, while Drs. Fortuin clearly explains how a consultation goes and how honest advice sometimes also means that a treatment is not recommended.

After the procedure: recovery, reactions and reality

Beau shares candidly what the recovery was like for her, physically but also mentally. How did the people around her react? And how did it feel to finally see the result she had been thinking about for so long? Drs. Fortuin gives insight into what goes on behind the scenes.
