"When it comes to getting a good cosmetic plastic surgery done, I was looking at the best hospital. My friend who resided in Belgium said that Wellness Kliniek in Genk is the best place to consult because the surgeons are experienced and offer solutions that guarantee very good results. She was right!"
Dear Alice,
Thank you so much for your warm and glowing review! It makes us very happy to receive confirmation from you that you had a nice stay in Genk and that we have been able to meet to your expectations. The most important thing for us is to inform and guide our patients in the best way possible during the entire stay in the Wellness Kliniek.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
"I took advantage of the Next-Day surgery service. Very convenient. The outcome is excellent. I am trilled; they were able to give me life-changing results. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high quality plastic surgery. Not only the doctors and nurses are qualified and skilled in their work, but they are also very patient, thorough, and genuinely concerned about your success and well-being."
Dear Lesly! We're very happy to read that you enjoyed your stay in our clinic and that you are very happy with the outcome! It is for the reviews like this that we work very hard to make all our patients happy!
"Happy with results"
"I'm very happy with results"
Thanks Zane for your positive words! Always a pleasure to read that our patients are happy with their result.
"Nov 6th 2014 I am 9 days post op and so far very happy! I am still swollen but can tell it's going to look amazing. The scarring is perfectly hidden and healing very well. I had upper and lower eyelids done with Dr. Visser. During the consult she came off as a little cold, but knew what she was talking about, so the coldness did not really bother me. I wanted a good surgeon, not a friend.During the surgery Dr. Visser was amazing, not like the consult at all. She was very comforting and kind. My nurses, Anke and Marleen were so great to me! The local was more intense than I expected and they kept me calm and made me laugh and talked to me the whole time. I could not have made it without them. I cannot express how grateful I am to both of them. The only issue I had was with the follow up. I was under the impression that my stitches would be removed the following Tuesday (5 days post op) and when trying to schedule a time was informed they were closed, not really a big deal other than I had made arrangements to stay the whole time and ended up having to make another trip(6 hours round trip) to have the stitches removed. I was annoyed that I had already paid for a hotel and made all the proper arrangements with my family and now I had to hurry and make new arrangements. It's not something I really wanted to deal with just coming out of surgery, but it had no choice. I feel this could have been avoided if more attention was paid the the schedule. Dr. Visser was not there on that day and I had the stitches removed by Dr. Damen. I didn't spend much time with him, but he was very, very kind and warm. I really liked his personality. All in all I would have to say I would go back, I would just do extra research on what the hours are."
Hello Kasi, Dr. Visser, Dr. Damen, Marleen, Anke and all of us at the Wellness Kliniek were delighted to read your review. Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to all of us. You being happy with our service and the result is what counts! We are sorry that there was some confusion over the schedule to remove the stitches. Thank you for pointing this out to us. We will look into the matter, and try to avoid this in future. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Best regards, Marly-Ann Spronken – CEO Wellness Kliniek
"Liposculpture A few weeks ago I had a liposculpture treatment in the Wellness Kliniek with Dr. Hanssen. I had my lovehandles and back rolls treated and I'm so happy that I decided to do this treatment! The result is everything I expected it to be! I will glad though when I can stop wearing that girdle. :) I would definitely recommend this clinic and Dr. Hanssen! Thanks so much!"

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this review site and for having chosen us for your treatment Sara! Best regards, Marly-Ann Spronken – CEO Wellness Kliniek
"I had surgery twice at this clinic..everything went well..doctor Hassen did good job on my tummy the Nurse also was lovely...Nice room for aftercare..I will definite recommend any one..thanks to the team xxx"
"Just wanted to drop you an email to say that so far, 3 weeks later, I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my corrective surgery with Dr. Damen. Many thanks and best regards, A.M."
"I got seen by Dr. Luc Damen for a breast augmentation. I went from an A cup to a C cup. He was wonderful and the staff was beyond great! The facility was well run and I felt like I was in very good hands. I just took my bandages off and I am super pleased with my results. I would definitely do it again! Dr. Damen was very conscious about me looking natural, which I really appreciated. Very pleased with my experience. This is the place to go!"
A delight indeed to read your review ! Thank you Lydia for letting us know that you are a 100% satisfied with your treatment here at the Wellness Kliniek and so pleased with the results of your breast augmentation.
"Overall it is a good clinic"
Thank you Stephen for taking the time to post a review about the Wellness Kliniek.
"very good prices and good service."
"The surgeons and staff at the Wellness Kliniek changed my life forever. They have given me the greatest gift of all: "health and happiness". Before the surgery I had pain in my knees and back. I could not sleep well. During the day I was always out of breath, sweating and feeling miserable. The weight loss surgery, exercising and eating healthy has improved my quality of life."
"Since the surgery, I have gone from 261 pounds to 160 pounds. I have gone from a size 22 to a size 12. I was only 27 and had high blood pressure and diabetes. I was terrified to have weight loss surgery, until I went to this hospital. Dr. Heylen gave me the confidence I needed. Now, 18 months later, I am a different person. I no longer have high blood pressure or diabetes. I look and feel a lot better. Recently I got married. It was truly the most joyous day in my life. I'm so happy now! I'm forever grateful!"
"I had struggled with my weight for 30 years. Making the decision to have gastric bypass surgery was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever contemplated. I researched all weight loss surgery options. I visited several doctors in the UK, before going to Belgium. The Wellness Kliniek staff helped me to make a well informed decision. After having gastric bypass surgery at this hospital, I lost 101 pounds in less than one year. I totally recommend Dr. Heylen and his wonderful team to everyone struggling with weight. It was the best decision I could possibly have made."
"The overall appearance of my face is better than I could have ever expected. I look and feel 10 years younger! I will never, ever forget what the plastic surgeons have done for me. I will be seeing them again in May for a tummy tuck. I am incredibly touched by their professional concern and care. I am happy to recommend the Wellness Kliniek to anyone contemplating facelift surgery."
"I was on the Next-Day-Cosmetic Surgery program. The organization can be very proud of the quality of their medical and nursing staff. My nose correction was a success. I feel a lot more confident now. It's all thanks to the Wellness Kliniek team: they did such a wonderful job."
"I am very pleased with the level of service and quality of care and after care.i had a problem with my breast that had nothing to do with the wellness kliniek, and they asked me to come over, removed the implants whilst i got the problem sorted out. arranged an appointment to go back and put in new ones free of charge when they did not have to do anything. Fantastic after care that you wont find at any other clinic in europe. Great surgeon with very helpful staff."
"Price was very fair for the results I have received. Had a private room and speedy recovery. Scaring is minimal."
Dear Victoria,
It's a great pleasure to read that you are happy with the result of your surgery and your stay in the Wellness Kliniek. Thank you for leaving a few words!
"I had breast augumentation in march.the treatment went very well.the results look great,i had no complications.i love my new twins! The clinic is very clean and everyone treats you well.the nurses are so sweet and really make you feel welcomed and well looked after.the doctor explained everything and aswered all my questions calmly.i have nothing but gratitute for Wellness kliniek!"
"At this specialty center doctors know exactly what they are doing and will achieve the look you are going for. Trust me. I am a client to this hospital for several years now. Being a UK citizen, working in Brussels, I feel very lucky to get treatments at affordable prices in Belgium. treatment for wrinkles and fillers made me feel pretty again. Within a couple of days from the procedures of treatment for wrinkles and fillers, I see my forehead lifting and I see my eye lids going back where they belong. The fillers around my lips help my lines disappear. My face looks much nicer and younger since I have discovered magic. Thank you! I'll see you again in 6 months' time!"

"Before going for a breast reduction, I was very apprehensive about seeing a plastic surgeon. I only wanted the best, so I decided to go to Wellness clinic. The consultant plastic surgeon, Mr. van Zele, was very kind to me. His straight forwardness, knowledge and expertise definitely put my mind at ease. He listened to my goals, and took into account what I wanted. He and his staff answered all my questions. I am happy with the results and can recommend this doctor and clinic to everyone."
Dear Sharon, it's a great pleasure for both dr. Van Zele and the entire Wellness Kliniek team to read your positive words! Every day we strive to inform our patients as good as possible and to make them as comfortable as possible. Therefore it means very much to us that we have made you a happy Wellness Kliniek patient!
"I am so happy I made the decision to go through with the procedure at this clinic. I was surprised to learn the huge price difference of the same brand of breast implants in different countries. I insisted on Monobloc implants as they are known to be safe. The operation went well. The results are fantastic. I feel a lot more confident now, especially at the gym. I highly recommend Dr. Damen and his Wellness Clinique team."
Dear Mary,
We are delighted to read your kind and encouraging words! It means very much to us that you had such a great experience in the Wellness Kliniek because this is what we strive for, every single day. It makes us very happy to read that you are satisfied with the result of your surgery and that we have made you one of our many happy patients!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
"I was referred to Wellness Kliniek by a close friend. I was initially very hesitant to go through a gynecomastia operation – this is breast reduction surgery for men. But, I knew by my picky friend referring me, he truly trusted the place. Everyone at the clinic was very accommodating, they made me feel comfortable and at home. They were keen to answer all of my questions and concerns. I am almost two months postop now and I feel amazing. I am extremely pleased with the results."
Thanks so much John for your encouraging review! Every day we strive for the highest standard of care and we try to support our patients in any way we can. It's a great pleasure to read that you are one of our many happy patients and that you are happy with the result!
"Breast enlargement from a size B to a D/D The best decision I've made by far.Firstly the booking was simple, deposit paid from the UK. I then had an appointment booked within 3weeks after a cancellation. I arrived on the Thursday,spoke with the surgeon and the following day I had the surgery.I am chuffed. The place was spot-less, the staff were very professional and everyone was friendly. I honestly do not think for the standards of the UK id find anywhere half as nice as this clinic in England. And I paid a significant amount less than I would in England. My boobs are great!!! I love them. They are perfect and the scars are tiny. I can not fault the place. Genuinely. I'm very sceptical about reviews and I completed my own research before I travelled. It's hard to know what's real on line and what's not. But from a fellow sceptic, this place is spot on! I have recommended numerous people already!!! And I want to go back for something else now! I was in a great deal of pain after the surgery and travelled back to England the same day, and I was also very naughty and went back to work the next day even after the surgeon told me not too.... even though I ignored that because I had no other option the results are more than perfect. It is painful, I can't deny that but if you sit and rest them they are manageable. I recommend 100%. Just don't be fooled, it hurts but no pain no gain."
Dear Charlotte! Thank you so much for your kind words! It's a pleasure to read that you are happy with your surgery and with your experience in the Wellness Kliniek. Every day we strive to make our patients happy so this really means a lot for us. Thanks again and we wish you all the best!
"I am so very grateful to Wellness Kliniek. I was having this issue wherein my breasts seemed smaller and this actually affected my personal relationship as well. For around 6 months I was in depression and felt as if I had some disease. Wellness Kliniek was referred by my aunt who resides near Belgium and then when I visited her, I met the surgeon to get a consultation. I was so pleased with their explanation and that this was quite normal and could be rectified with implants that had no side effects. Now I am in my healing stage and much more confident than ever before about my looks."
"Hello my name is Carmen and on the 07 th of September I had my breast augmentation surgery after many month of thinking and investigations. I am very happy with it, doctor Verdonck Kristoff is the best , a very good listener who showed the professionalism in the results which are amazing. The staff also very attentive and respectfully. After the surgery I was the first week in pains but with some paracetamol, ibuprofen and a special antibiotic it will pass. The worse part for me, was the corset that I had it on me very tight, and I couldn't rest that good during the night.The scars are ok, not that big .I had my period like usual so nothing was changed in my metabolism, everything went smoothly . After 3 month I went to a regular check at the clinic and everything was in order.I am so happy that I decided to do it, and that I choose this clinic who provided me confidence, professionalism and a nice natural new looking breasts :)Thank you very much dr. Verdock Kristoff."
Dear Carmen,

"BA went well. It was cheap. But I am still only 4 days post op. But as it stands it feels like I'm going through all the normally symptoms. Very nice people. Very helpful.Very clean staff very helpful polite"
"I am 51 years old, and had a Breast Enlargement done because I was not happy with the way my Breasts looked after losing some weight. I went form an 80 A to an 85 C, and am overjoyed with the results. I would tell anyone thinking of having the same done that this is the place to have it done. As I came from Germany, the Price was more than fair, the Staff speak fluent German as well as English, and the entire experience is one that I can only reccommend in the highest tones. We chose this Clinic basd on the Reviwes of past patients, and I must say, that we were pleasently surprised. From the first moment until the last, I can only say that this is a top Clinic, and the personnel are highly professional. The Doctors are highly experienced, and took their time with the consultation, and answered every question that I had. The Operation went without a hitch, everything to the highest standards, and very friendly. The Follow-up (per Telephone) with Doctor Kristoff Verdonck was very friendly, and he answered all my questions, even though I called him at 07:30 in the morning. I would recommend this Clinic to anyone looking to have a Breast enlargement done."
Dear Andrea,
We are delighted to read your kind and encouraging words! It means very much to us that you had such a great experience in the Wellness Kliniek because this is what we strive for, every single day. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

"Breast enlargement My experience with the Wellness Kliniek was brilliant start to finish. I had the next day surgery option. The staff I spoke to before I made the journey on the phone were pleasant and helpful. Upon arrival I was instantly put at ease with the cleanliness and professional atmosphere. Dr Damen was amazing he was informative and made it very easy for me to make my final decisions. He advised me without pushing me into making a decision which I liked. My scars a neat I was relatively pain free and surprised about the quick recovery. I would highly recommend this clinic and specifically Dr Damen I am over the moon with my results."
"Removal of both breast implants and capsular contraction without uplift or new implants. Came over from the UK for my consultation on the 9th of may. Had my surgery with Dr Verdonk on the 10th of may. Everybody was utterly brilliant from the receptionists to the nurses to the doctor himself. All were so kind and so genuinly helpful. Now pain free and a great outcome. Would definitely recommend! Many thanks to all of you at the Wellness Kliniek!! You gave me my health back! Gwen."
Dear Gwenda,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's a pleasure to read that you are happy with your surgery and with your experience in the Wellness Kliniek. Every day we strive to make our patients happy so this really means a lot for us.
Thanks again and we wish you all the best!
"I did a lot of homework before choosing the Wellness Kliniek in Genk. My daughter and I both travelled from London on the Eurostar and it couldn't have been easier. We both had a breast reduction. We were seen the day before by Dr Luc Damen and he then scheduled our treatment for the following day. My husband had travelled with us and we left in a taxi the same day of surgery to return to our hotel a short distance from the clinic. We both felt so well that we probable could have walked back! I could not recommend this clinic highly enough. Dr Damon is a brilliant surgeon and both my daughter and I could not be happier with the results of our surgery. The nurses were particularly kind and caring and took wonderful care of my daughter, who was understandably nervous, having surgery for the first time.In particular Petra and Anika who looked after us. The Clinic is highly professional and extremely well organised. If you are wondering where to go abroad for surgery - this is the place!"
"Breast Augmentation - AMAZINGExcellent quality! Best decision ever.Traveled from London and had very good trust that I was in the right care.Definitely recommend it to anyone considering it!I will be back! Had my Breast Augmentation at the Wellness Klienik 6 months ago, travelled by plane from London, and stayed for 4 days. The staff at the wellness klienik is amazing! And I thank them so much for how comfortable they all made me feel, I also want to thank my surgeon Dr. Luc Damen who was amazing! He knew exactly what he was talking about and gave great advice! Surgery went well and I woke up very happy! 6 months later and I am over the moon with the great work done! My boobs and scars are perfect! I had a very fast recovery! Very very impressed, I also recommended many family members and friends to come here and my cousin had her boobs done in January! I will defiantly be back !"
"Breast augmentation, I am 14 days post off, straps off today, surgery performed by Dr Luc Damen. I am posting this review to express my happiness with my results! I traveled from Scotland the service was outstanding, extremely sterile and staff are phenomenal. My results couldn't be better and I can't express how happy I am, thank you all so much for changing my life you've given me the confidence I always needed.I decided to use the wellness Kliniek simply on results it seemed to be the best recommended place I could find also a quarter of the price compared to Scotland. Would highly recommend Dr Damen he advised me to go 300cc under the muscle I am very slim with no breast tissue I have stunning results glad I took his advice, once again thank you ALL so much.I can't say there where any bad parts from my experience apart from pain relief paracetamol and ibuprofen defiantly wasn't enough! The advise I would give anyone thinking on this procedure would be go for it! It's amazing! Listen to your surgeon as they know best they pointed me in the right direction and I'm glad I listened.Price wise I cannot complain at all like I said its a 3rd of the price at home, never thought I'd have results like I have at such a cheap price."
"Dr. Damen is a great doctor and that is essential for a great breast augmentation. My breasts are fuller, natural looking, and lifted. I am so glad I decided to go through with the surgery finally and so glad I choose the doctor I did. I went from a B to C and I look thinner and more confident! Scars are hardly noticable and it hasn't even been six months! My experience with the Wellness Kliniek of cosmetic Surgery has been great! Dr. Damen and all his staff have been wonderful to deal with and very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend him and his team to anyone who considers a cosmetic procedure. Thanks for the great care! Dawn P."
Thank you so much for your great review! It's a great pleasure to read that you are happy with your treatment and that we have made you a happy patient!
"Extremely pleased with my results from the clinic done by Doctor Damen. I went in for breast enlargement surgery I was a 32A and now I am a 30E. The staff were amazing, very friendly and professional. I'm glad I decided to go to Belgium for my treatment instead of England and wish I had done it sooner, would definitely recommend to anyone. Amazing and friendly, very clean and tidy. I would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back for anything else. Much better than places in England and extremely great prices, thank you so much."
"I couldn't be happier with the value for money, the treatment and my results at the Wellness Kliniek in Belgium. I have had breast augmentation with Soft Silicone Implants. Everything was just perfect. I have had a wonderful experience. Nurses and surgeons have a caring attitude to patients. I felt really special. I had never actually met with the plastic surgeon at the Wellness Clinic until my consultation one day before surgery, which was scaring me off a bit. Especially when travelling all the way from London, you want to make sure you have made the right choice of clinic and surgeon. Throughout all the contacts I have had though, I had gained confidence and booked a next day surgery appointment with them. I travelled to Belgium by Eurostar. The train station is less than 5 minutes walk from the hospital. I stayed at the nearby Carbon hotel, which I can also recommend. Upon my arrival at the clinic, everyone received me so well, was so nice, putting me at ease immediately. Dr. Damen, my surgeon, was very helpful with all questions I had. This experience and the final result really has been worth every single penny! I cannot recommend the Wellness Kliniek enough!"
"Should I have my surgery in London or will I go abroad? An actor, theatre director, friend recommended the Wellness Kliniek in Belgium, but I was a bit worried going overseas. Lots of people warned me for going abroad for surgery. This is why I did a lot of research before choosing a clinic. The Wellness Kliniek in Belgium has a good reputation, most reliable with good prices! I had upper and lower eyelid surgery, and couldn't be more satisfied with the treatment and the result. Wellness clinic is very well organized. I was happy with the staff and the surgeon. They were all very helpful. I was very happy with the surgery, extremely happy with the price, and most of all with the outcome! I'd definitely go to Wellness Kliniek again. Thank you Philip for recommending them to me!"
Thank you so much Meera for your encouraging words! It's such a great pleasure to read about your positive experience in the Wellness Kliniek!
"breast surgery I have been a theatre nurse in England for 15 years and I can highly recommend this clinic. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the surgery was excellent. I am very pleased with the results and will be returning if I need any further procedures."
Dear Jean, thank you very much for your recommendations and for your lovely feedback!
"Originally I went to the clinic to make a breast augmentation but Dr. Damen was completely honest and told that with the shape of my breasts I had to make a correction before. And I also had a chronic inflammation in my breasts for 3 years and it was a hell to me, with the surgery the plan was remove it and make a breast lift, repositioning my nipples. The surgery went fine but around 2 weeks after I had some complications with the breast with the chronic inflammation (the left one) and I had to return to remove the stitches and open the wound to treat it properly. But Dr. Damen was awesome, always being realistic, making new dressings weekly, reassuring my thoughts about my recovery and after one month he performed another surgery to close my breast again. Now I feel no pain anymore, my breasts are with a great shape (the right one is just perfect) and I'm waiting the complete healing to make another surgery to correct the scars in my left breast. Even with the complications in my case, I couldn't expect more from Dr. Damen and I'm very happy with all the care I got in Wellness Kliniek. After the summer I'll return to make the corrective surgery and after that for sure I'll continue with Dr. Damen to put the breast-implant. I recommend this clinic and Dr. Damen to everyone who wants to be happy about their bodies and receive a great treatment. They're amazing."
Dear Danielly, the entire Wellness Kliniek-team would like to thank you for your kind and encouraging review! We hope that everything is going well in the meantime and we will do everything we can, to make you even happier after the corrective surgery.

"I cannot describe how happy I am with my results! I wish I had it done sooner! The surgery was very clean, all staff were extremely helpful and kind and overall Dr Damen done an amazing job on my breast implants ! I went from an a/b to a DD and had 350cc implants. I travelled from London UK so had my consultation on the day I arrived, stayed in a hotel that night and had my surgery the following morning then left to come home later that day. Everything went to plan and I am now fully recovered with tiny scars which are very neat."
Thanks Leanne for taking the time to share your experience with others on this page. We are delighted to hear that we have made your dream come true and that you are now a very happy patient!
"First I went for a first talk with the doctor. It was a fast and friendly service in the clinic.The doctor gave me his honest opinion with suggestions but also first asked what my desires were. The day of the surgery I was a little bit stressed, but they made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the clinic. The surgery itself went without any complications.The day after the surgery they called me at home if everything was OK, and that I can call at any time if I'd have questions.After two weeks healing the tape went off and I was very happy with the result."
The entire Wellness Kliniek team wants to thank you for your glowing and detailed review, Irmina. It's always a great pleasure to read such positive feedback from our patients and to hear that you are satisfied with your stay in the Wellness Kliniek.
"Breast Augmentation I had a breast augmentation done at Wellness Kliniek in Genk. I am very happy I went there. My surgeon, Dr. Verdonck understood exactly what I wanted and he made for me the breasts that I always wanted. Now after only three weeks I am very happy with the amazing results. I have small scars that are healing very well and no complications at all. The staff is very friendly and they treat the customers with respect . They are always open to answer your questions plus after the treatment they will call you to make sure everything went well. I recommend this clinic to everyone interested to have an operation done. My opinion is that you won't regret going there. Thank you Wellness Kliniek for what you did for me, Thanks Dr. Verdonck. Love you all."
Dear Petronela, it's a great pleasure for both dr. Verdonck and the entire Wellness Kliniek team to read your positive words! We are very happy to hear that you are a happy Wellness Kliniek patient!
"Ear Lobe reconstruction I went to the Wellness Kliniek to get my Ear lobes reconstructed. I decided to come to Belgium instead of London as it was half the price, the reviews were good, and it was a nice 3 days away. I paid 850 Euros for both my ear lobes to be reconstructed. I had 26mm holes in each and needed them closed up to form a 'normal' ear lobe. I was given the 'Next day surgery' option which I took up. I arrived in Genk on the Sunday - and what a lovely place it is, all the people are so kind. On Monday I had the consultation with the surgeon, and Tuesday I had the surgery to return home the same day. The Wellness Kliniek was lovely, the Surgery was straight forward, and quick, and the people who worked there had excellent customer service, and were so lovely to speak to - they helped me so much with everything and spoke great English. I got it done yesterday and removed the bandages today and I'm so happy with the results! If I ever need anything else done I am sure I would return. The only one thing I would recommend to those coming from abroad is to stay an extra day after surgery. As my surgery was only minor I was allowed to go home the same day but I was rushing around as I was travelling by train - If you stay an extra day after, all should be okay. Definitely would return in the future if I need anything else done, I think the prices are excellent, and you are treated with utmost respect and care. Thank you so much to all of you."
Dear Amy, Thank you for the great review of our clinic! Everyone is so nice because we have the best of patients :-) The best service and great results is what we are standing for.

"Breast Augmentation I had a very good experience with the Wellness Kliniek. The high standard of treatment, friendly service and utmost care showed by the people around me during the operation as well as after the operation made me to stay positive. In addition, it is the crucial reason why I am writing this review. The surgeons were amazing and they helped me in clearing all my doubts before operation and even after it. So, I would recommend Wellness Kliniek for your treatments."

"I am very pleased with the results! It was healed in less than 2 weeks. The price quoted is 2,500 euro and I paid exactly that no more hidden fees."
Dear Genelyn, Thank you for your much appreciated review. It gives us great pleasure to read that you healed well and are happy with the result. This is our aim and what we strive for every day at the Wellness Kliniek! Best regards, Marly-Ann Spronken – CEO Wellness Kliniek
"My treatment was breast implants and it was very straight forward and a quick process. The staff took great care of me afterwards making sure I had all the medication I needed. Also I fainted when I was ready to leave and they looked after me again before letting me go. Once the bandages were taken off, my breasts had healed well, but there was a tiny gap where the skin hadn't come together with the stitches, but that soon healed itself. Now 2 years on, I am so happy I got this done and would definitely go back to the Wellness Kliniek."
Thank you Danica for sharing this review. Our team strive every day for the highest standard of care. 'Happy patients' is our daily goal and what we are all about. I am very happy that you are happy! It was a pleasure to read your review. Thank you for coming all the way to Belgium and for putting your trust in us. Best regards, Marly-Ann Spronken – CEO Wellness Kliniek
"I had two consultations with Dr Hanssen for liposuction, firstly for the buttocks and following that, one year later, for the outer thigh and backs of upper legs. It is a very comfortable clinic and the nursing and assistant staff are very friendly and kind. Dr Hanssen is expert and takes time with you to understand what you want. He is very kind during the procedure and that's why I went back to him the second time. I highly recommend him and the Wellness Kliniek. The procedure itself is a little bit uncomfortable and the staff are very receptive and helpful with that. I would go again for anything else I would want in the future. The results were perfect. My problem areas are no longer a problem and clothes fit well. I couldn't be happier.The Wellness Kliniek is incredibly inexpensive for the service it provides, and is worth going to Genk for any procedure you want done. The doctors and the staff are very professional and the environment is clean, comfortable and restful.Genk can seem awkward to get to, but it's not at all."
Dear Clare, thank you for taking the time to post such a glowing review. It gives us great pleasure to read such comments and know that as a repeat patient of the Wellness Kliniek you are so happy and pleased with your treatments here. Everyone at the Wellness Kliniek strives for such patient satisfaction every day. Look forward to seeing you again one day! Best regards, Marly-Ann Spronken – CEO Wellness Kliniek

"I recieved a very high standard of treatment from the wellness kliniek. I arrived in Belgium the day before my operation, had my consulration which I was very impressed with and had the operation the next day. The clinic itself was of a very high standard both hygienically and regarding the level of service I recieved. The recovery time was quick and the scars were very neat and un-noticeable. Overall I was very happy with the procendure."
Dear Irene, Our team at the Wellness Kliniek was delighted to read your review! We are happy that you were satisfied with our next-day-surgery program. We get many patients from the UK and abroad, and we are doing the utmost to make every procedure as smooth as possible. A high standard of service is what we strive for, every day!

"I had a breast enlargement a year and a half ago. The whole process was very simple and straightforward. I healed quickly and was happy with the results. I had 450cc, but now wish I had gone bigger so will consider having them redone in the next few years."
Dear Carley, Our team at the Wellness Kliniek was delighted to read your review. You being happy with the result is what counts! Having beautiful breasts makes one feel good. Therefore many of our patients like to get an even fuller bra cup size, a few years after the initial breast augmentation. It is good to wait a few years, to make your skin and breast tissue used to the 450cc prosthesis size. We are looking forward to seeing you again! Best regards, Marly-Ann Spronken – CEO Wellness Kliniek
"I went to Wellness Kliniek for a Rhinoplasty. It`s has been now 1 month and 2 weeks since my surgery. The stuff is simply wonderful, friendly and helpful.I am a nervous person especially when it goes about operations. I read everything in Internet , even knowing it is false and I know that I should always listen only to what my surgeon tells me, but did I ...so I called quite few times to the clinic asking them if this or that is okay or should I do this or that , staff was always welcoming and explaining me that I shouldn't worry at all.It did help a lot. My surgeon was kind , calm very experienced man who knew what he is doing. Day of the surgery went very smooth , had anesthesia next thing I know I am in my private room waking up, feeling good, a little dizzy and after a few hours I was escorted home . At the moment I feel great , my nose looks remarkable , despite being swollen which is just normal.I am now going there for cosmetic dentistry services.I recommend this clinic for everyone , knowing that you are in good care with professionals.Liga."
"My overall experience seems to be a good one so far. Everyone from the receptionists to nurses to Dr. Damen was good with my handeling. I am happy that I chose this clinic to perform my full abdominalplasty. I feel i was well taken care of. I look forward to having staples taken out soon and then coming back in a year for final results. Thank you to all who was there and present in my care and recovery."
"breast augmentation Bonjour, j'ai subi une augmentation mammaire en 2013 suite a deux accouchements et une forte perte de poid.Je n'ai jamais eu peur de cette opération et le chirurgien (Dr Verdonck) nous avait mis très a l'aise et avait été très doux et fort aimable dès le premier rendez vous .Le jour de l'opération nous avons été conduite ( moi et ma sœur, pour la même opération )en chambre par une infirmière très joviale et souriante . Nous avons patienter dans une chambre privé très propre et agréable. L'opération s'est très bien passée. Nous avons certes eu mal les 3 premiers jours et ensuite cette douleur cette relativement atténuée . Au bout de 10 jours on a plus mal du tout . Nous avons suivi bien sur toutes les règles a la lettre au niveau de la durée de portage du soutien gorge de maintien et des cachets a prendre au début. Aujourd'hui après 1 ans 1/2, nous sommes ravies, nos seins font parties de nous comme si ils avaient toujours été la. Jamais aucune douleur, le résultat est parfait, c'est un réel plaisir de se sentir aussi femme et d'avoir cette "belle" poitrine tant révée"
Chère Maud,
Un grand merci pour ces gentils mots! Cela nous fait plaisir d'entendre que vous êtes contente de votre intervention à la Wellness Kliniek.
Notre équipe fait tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour donner un bon sentiment aux patients. Merci beaucoup et peut-être à une prochaine fois!
"I asked a question about a procedure. They were able to speak to me in English and answer my question. I would recommend this clinic. They were very helpful"
"I was planning to have breast implants since giving birth to my baby and losing more than 30 kilos of weight. Unfortunately, I could not afford 8,000+ EUR operation (implants+lift) that one "famous" plastic surgeon in Frankfurt am Main (I live there) has quoted to me. Thanks to my brother who lives in Belgium, we decided to search for a clinic in Belgium and found Wellnes Kliniek. We did the online consultation and was given comprehensive answer for free! After that we decided to schedule face to face consultation and next day operation. The face to face consultation (7th of January 2014) was very professional and was done by Dr. Visser. I have read many reviews about her and all reviews showed that people were very happy with the end result. Some people state that Dr. Visser is a bit cold, but I do not find that this is truth. I think that some people mistake plastic surgeon for a psychologist. Everything was set, size was chosen and we went back home.The operation was scheduled on 9th of January 2014 at very early in the morning. We arrived at the clinic, went through the necessary paper work and payment and were taken to the individual room. One more questionnaire, drawings on the breasts by Dr. Visser and I was picked up by the nurse.One hour later I had my new breasts! Three hours later I could go home after given comprehensive instructions what to do and what not to do. Before we left, the quality manager came to ask if everything was fine! They also called me 4 days after the operation and asked how I was and said that I always can call them and come for the check up. What a great service! My friends who had operation in Germany are running after their doctors just to get the check up done and I can call my clinic 24/7!I am very satisfied! Thank you."
Thank you Marina for taking the time to post such a glowing and detailed review. Our whole team here at the Wellness Kliniek delights in receiving such feedback from a patient and to hear how happy you are with our service and your surgery.
"Very clean clinic. Professional staff. A slight disappointment with the twilight anaesthetic but that was personal to me. Maybe a preferred option for most. Would recommend the clinic and would also consider another treatment there."
Always a pleasure to receive feedback from our patients and recommendations! Thank you Jen, for taking the time to post a review and look forward to seeing you again in the clinic one day.
"This is my second time at the Wellness Kliniek after having a fully tummy tuck and eye bag surgery 18 months ago (May 2012) and recovered well. I returned in May 20213 to have some liposculpture of my abdomen to have some fat deposits removed and I have to say Dr Hannsen did a fantastic job. I found him to be a lovely caring doctor and clearly extremely good at his job judging by the brilliant result, now six months have past since the procedure.The hospital is spotlessly clean and efficient. The staff are all very polite and caring and all spoke perfect English. I would frankly never go anywhere else for surgery and coming from England it is really easy to get to if you use Eurostar and the local service from Brussels to Genk. The town is pleasant and I found the people and shop staff extremely polite and again English appears to be spoken everywhere as a second language.Should I ever require any further procedures I would not hesitate in going back to the Wellness Kliniek which, compared to my local NHS hospital, is far better and importantly cleaner and the standard of care and expertise of the surgeons second to none.Many thanks to all the staff once again and look forward to returning one day."
Thank you Robert for taking the time to post such a glowing review. It gives us great pleasure to read such comments and know that as a repeat patient of the Wellness Kliniek you are so happy and pleased with your treatments here. Everyone at the clinic strives for such patient satisfation every day. Look forward to seeing you again one day!
"Just exercise and lose some more weight, that is what my GP kept telling me ! The fact that I went to the gym regularly however, didn't seem to make a difference when it came to losing that little bit of extra fat in those stubborn areas? In the end, decided to go for it and have liposuction. So pleased with the results I got from my treatment at the Wellness Kliniek in Belgium!!! Priced per zone so I sent a photo via e-mail first just to check how many zones the surgeon, Dr. Hanssen, thought I should have treated to give me the result I wanted. In the end I had a liposculpture of three zones , that's what they call it because they "sculpt" your body as it were, not just remove the fat. My tummy, love handles and upper thighs are now as I wanted them to be and I have a body shape that matches the physical effort that I put in ..hehe. Will definitely go back if I decide to have more treatment and my friends are already asking me for the number of the Wellness Kliniek!!"
Delighted to hear such positive feedback from a patient Lucy! 100% patient satisfaction is the whole Wellness Kliniek team's daily goal. Thank you ! Hope to see you again one day.
"Upper and Lower Eye Lid Surgery My upper and lower eye lid surgery was a huge success. One year later and the scars have completely vanished and my eyes are very youthful. With that said, I look back at the experience with mixed feelings. The surgeon who conducted the surgery was a true professional and I would recommend without hesitation. The immediate care after the surgery was abysmal at best. The attendants left me and never came back to check on me throughout the course of the day and I was furious at the treatment as I laid there in pain, blind and unable to get up to see my way to the toilet or to get a glass of water."
Thank you Philip for your comments pointing out how pleased you are with the results of your surgery. I wish to assure you that all your comments have been taken on board and are being dealt with by our quality department.
"I went for liposuction on my legs by Dokter Hanssen. He used local anaesthetic but it hurt a lot. I'm not happy about the surgery itself, too much pain. Local anaesthesia was not enough, I wish I had more anaesthesia or sleeping meds. The result is great, it looks really nice. The Dokter did a fantastic job. The price was 999 euro's (plus 109 for a compression pant and 35 for the consult) and I would have done it sooner if I knew that. I got a private room for half a day and that was very nice. Overall it's a very good clinic."
Thank you Gerdien for taking the time to post a review. Delighted to hear you are so pleased with your results and patient feedback is always appreciated.
"The price was as quoted. The results great."
Thank you Rachel!! 100% patient satisfaction is the whole Wellness Kliniek's team's goal and purpose. Delighted you are thrilled with the results!
"Breast Augmentation I am 3 Days post still very sore but very happy with the results so far. I was so very nervous about my op.The nurses and the staff made me feel so comfortable so that I was relaxed as possible. It was all over to fast and I am very pleased I chose to come this klienk! I would definitely come again If wanted any other treatment . Dr. Horn was very professional and nice ! Looking forward to the end results! Thank you so much !"
Thank you Britany for taking the time to post a review so shortly after your breast augmentation here at the Wellness Kliniek. The whole team is always delighted to hear how pleased a patient is following their treatment. Patient care and patient satisfaction are what we strive for and seeing your 100% review is such a pleasure!
"Wow just did my op yesterday which is 13/11/12 with Dr Verdonck and I will say he was great. I was very stressed cause I have never done any operation before. He made me feel comfortable. Even the staff were nice! My operation was 8.30pm they finished and I left the hospital by 11.30am walked back to my hotel room, took money and went out for shopping the same day. In the evening I went to restaurant close to my hotel. I feel nothing what so ever. Now let me tell you how the pain is, because for me its not a pain, because that same day after my op I travelled to Oostende 3 hours from Genk and I was fine. Today is the 14th, which is one day after my operation. The only thing I feel is like a lady breast feeding but the baby is not there. Your breast will be full, that is how I was. No pain what so ever. Really happy with the hospital. My friend in the UK also called them to book today because of me. I will wait 2 weeks to see my GP in the UK. Good luck, girls."
We are delighted to read such a glowing and uplifting review so shortly after your treatment with us at the Wellness Kliniek. Thank you Cynthia for taking the time to do it and for giving us such positive feedback. 100% patient satisfaction is what the Wellness Kliniek team strives for everyday.
"i have recently had breast augmentation at the Wellness Kliniek. This was my first surgery and I was a little apprehensive about travelling abroad. The clinic is 5 minutes away from Genk station and is really easy to find. We stayed in the ECU hotel. The clinic is very clean and staff are all English speaking and are all friendly. I had my consultation with the surgeon. He was very good and advised me very well on my shape and frame of what implants to get. The surgery went very well and I am so happy with the results, If anyone is considering any kind of surgery I would definitely recommend this clinic."
Thank you Michelle for your glowing review and recommendation. It gives us great pleasure at the clinic to receive such positive feedback and to hear that you are delighted with your treatment at the Wellness Kliniek. We strive for such 100% patient satisfaction every day !
"Male liposuction, tummy and love handles were done five years ago at this clinic. Although this is a review five years old, I can say that five years later the love handles and tummy have never reappeared. It did change my life. The staff at the clinic are excellent. The facility is spotless. Over all I am pleased with the results."
Thank you for your much appreciated review, especially several years after your treatment. It gives us great pleasure to read that you continue to be 100% satisfied with your results.This is our aim and what we strive for every day at the Wellness Kliniek!
"I had my implants in May 2012,the clinic was very clean and all the staff were friendly and professional, I opted for the next day surgery which for me was a great choice the consultation with Dr Horn was done late afternoon so plenty of time to get there from London and the surgery scheduled early the next day . I had 330cc implants which took me from a 32aa to a 32dd which I am very pleased with, I was able to go out for dinner the very same evening and the pain was very minimal so all in all a great choice of clinic, price and doctor."
100% patient satisfaction is what we are aiming for at the Wellness Kliniek. Our moto is "striving for perfection" . Thank you Mrs. Dobinson for your kind review and for putting your trust in our team.
"I was very pleased with the clinic and staff. The clinic is spotlessly clean, in a convenient location in the town; all the staff were both English speaking and friendly. I had a full Tummy Tuck and Lower Eye Bag removal which went well. I have had some fluid retention issues with the Tummy Tuck, a known problem for some undergoing this procedure, and revisited the clinic to have this removed. The surgeon, Dr. Visser, was both efficient and reassuring. I would highly recommend the Wellness Clinic to anyone. The location in Genk is easy to get to from the UK via Eurostar from London to Brussels where a change of platforms to the Genk train making the journey smooth. The clinic is within half a mile of the station and there are several hotels within walking distance of both the station and clinic. If I were to undergo further plastic surgery then I would not hesitate to go back to the Wellness Clinic."
Thank you very much Mr.McBride! Our team at the Wellness Kliniek was delighted to read your review.100% satisfaction from a patient is what we strive for every day and with every patient.
"This clinic is everything I expected plus some!..Very clean, professional, and I would definitely recommend to anyone who has high standards. The staff was warm, caring and efficient. I am from Canada, and came for breast augmentation. So happy I did!"
Thank you Terri for coming all the way from Canada to Belgium!We always strive for the highest standard of care. 'Happy patients'is our daily goal and what we are all about! It was a pleasure to read your review.
"I had rhinoplasy and breast augmentation back in 2006. I have a new confidence that i never had. The staff were fabulous!"
"I am very pleased with the results and truly recommend this clinic. I underwent the two day breast augmentation surgery and was able to go for dinner the same evening. I am now nearly 3 weeks post op and everything is healing very well even the scar is nearly invisible. My GP even asked for the name of the clinic to pass to his patients, he was so impressed. Great clinic and friendly staff. Treated by Dr. Horn"
"Just wanted to recommend this dental clinic to you. I felt really cared for. I was on the Next-Day- Surgery program and got a dental makeover, in 3 visits only. 18 crowns! Great rates! Outstanding performance! I was impressed with the quality of the dental technicians and with the entire staff. I am truly happy. The camera loves my new smile!"
"I can unreservedly recommend the Wellness Kliniek dental team to all of you. I needed affordable esthetic dentistry: a total smile makeover. It took only 3 visits to Belgium. I am a professional singer. It is important to me, to have beautiful teeth and a perfect smile. My new smile really changed the way I feel about myself. I am very grateful for the excellent job they did!"
"The best cosmetic dentist to create a "Hollywood Smile" is to be found at the Wellness Clinic in Belgium. In my 'industry' it is important to have a healthy and bright smile. I had a complete smile makeover with procera crowns. The result is amazing! I cannot express how wonderful I feel now. My teeth are 100% natural looking, exactly what I needed."
"I am delighted to recommend the Wellness Kliniek in Belgium to you. am in heaven with my new breasts and I would recommend anyone to go this hospital for their surgery. The facility and rooms are first rate. But the real treasure is the team of cosmetic plastic surgeons. I am very happy with the result! Everyone tells me how pretty I look. My breast enlargement has truly made a difference in my life!"
"Great service! VERY happy with the result! To summarize: it was extraordinary! A lot more than I expected."
"I had a facelift at the Wellness Hospital in Belgium. I paid even less than I expected, because of a special offer. I had a full MACS facelift and paid only (all-in) 2640 pounds. (4000 euro)."
"I paid £ 1,750 for a breast augmentation with monobloc implants. Over the moon with the result! no hidden charges."

Feminism | Posted by Amy A on 07/19/2011
Why I Don't Wear Makeup
I'm 17 years old, a rising senior in high school, and I am unusual among a lot of my friends for this one reason: I don't wear makeup.
That's not to say I have never worn makeup, because I have, on occasion. I've worn it for two of the four high school dances I've attended, for the occasional band concert or dress-up day, and for the school musicals (although then it was stage makeup, a completely different matter). I have never worn makeup for a school picture. Why? It's not like I'm heart-stoppingly gorgeous or anything. I am an average looking girl, but I'm comfortable with that.
There are a couple of reasons why I don't wear makeup. One main reason is that I really like sleeping. I would much prefer to spend a few extra minutes in bed in the mornings than to spend that time stabbing myself in the eyes with colored pencils. But there's more to it than that.
The way I see it, I would rather look completely normal and average (aka, like myself) about ninety-nine percent of the time and have that be the way people see me, than look extra good ninety-nine percent of the time and have others get used to seeing me as someone other than myself.
One night I left something at a friend's house and went back the next morning to pick it up. I was startled by how much different my friend looked that morning without any makeup on. She didn't look like herself at all, because the self I was used to seeing was heavily altered by eyeliner and mascara. I don't want the way I actually look to shock people. I want my friends to recognize me, no matter what time of day it is.
Whether or not to wear makeup is certainly not the most pressing issue facing feminists today, but it's still an important segment of the larger issues of body image. To me, a big part of feminism is the empowerment of women. Feminism has certainly empowered me more than any other influence in my life, and I wish more people felt that it was socially acceptable to like the way they look naturally. I'm not saying that people shouldn't wear makeup, because that's a personal choice, a choice that I do sometimes make. I just wish that it wasn't so weird to not wear makeup on a regular basis and that people, especially young girls, didn't feel so much pressure to look perfect all the time.
I like my face (most of the time, anyway), and I don't need makeup to make me feel that way. Instead, I have feminism to make me feel good about myself, and I'll take those beliefs over eyeliner and lipstick any day.

Amen to that! I used to wear makeup every day but now the closest I get to wearing it is perfume. It was hard, though! I used to hate how I look but just like you said, confidence from feminism is better than confidence from eyeliner any day.
Talia bat Pessi @ at 11:33 am, July 19th, 2011
Great article, I couldn't have said it better. I feel the exact same way. The only time I ever wear make up is when I'm going glam to concerts and stuff like that. Honestly, I think people look prettier without make up on – when I see my friends wearing make up, I think they look ugly. They all tell me they're looking forward to yearbook pictures, when they'll tie me to a chair and force me to wear eyeliner.
Katherine C. @ at 5:26 pm, July 19th, 2011
I love this! I've been protesting the "you-would-look-so-much-prettier-with-makeup comments since I hit puberty. Even today, at 18, I only wear a smidge of lipstick (because I have anemia, and without the lipstick my chalky lips look dead). Confidence from feminism FTW.
Nano Muse @ at 6:08 pm, July 19th, 2011
Heh, I never got into make-up at all. There was a time that I tried to wear a lot, every day, but I hated it. At most, I'll dab on some powder *if* I have a spurt of bad achne or something, but most of the time, I don't. Oddly enough, some people think I do…? I use chapstick, the moisturizer kind, but that's it.
Irony: getting ready at a friend's house for prom, she cares about make-up about as much as I do, but her mom hired a make-up artist. Afterwards, I had to help her wipe a lot of it off because she hated how much she didn't look like herself. I looked at her mom's make-up bag and the artist's set, and I had NO CLUE what about 2/3 of it was – something her very glamor-happy godmother found amusing to no end.
Make-up is something which I think should be used a.) sparingly and b.) something to create the effect of a prettier version of yourself. But I see people wearing it all the time – to the point some make-ups are considered "sleep friendly"! – and to just create a whole new mask that looks nothing like them. Ugh.
Besides, the fact that I don't normally wear make-up means that when I do, for things like prom and conferences, people are far more likely to tell me "you're so beautiful I barely recognized you!", rather than the over-generic "you look great!" most of the makeup-all-the-time girls got, and the difference in appearances – and reactions to appearances – was staggering. Maybe that makes me just a wee bit bitchy and evil, but well.
Rainicorn @ at 6:39 pm, July 19th, 2011
I don't wear make-up because I've had pretty bad acne (as in, requires antibiotics, and the scarring will probably never go away) since I was about 17. Make-up covers the acne and scars in the short term, but it makes me break out even worse and I don't want to get caught in an endless cycle of cover up – break out – cover up…
That's the major reason I don't wear make-up, but feminist and other concerns apply too:
–Like OP, I don't want to waste time on it.
–Or money. That stuff is ridiculously expensive!
–I'm prone to stimming, which quite often involves rubbing my eyes or touching my face, so I would smear the make-up everywhere.
–I think women and girls should be allowed to love the way they look without requiring expensive and time-consuming procedures. I so admire the OP – and all contributors to this website – for being switched on to feminist issues as teens. At 17, I wasn't thinking critically about body image issues; I just wanted clear skin. I wanted it so much it hurt. (Okay, at 22 I still want that. I'm beginning to realize that I have not worked through all my issues here.)
jen @ at 7:07 pm, July 19th, 2011
i only wear make up when i feel like dressing up or going out. middle school and high school there were rare few occasions because…i looove sleeping. besides no one really noticed the difference or cared. everyone says i have a great complexion. that's because i don't muck it up with make up
Icefox @ at 9:56 pm, July 19th, 2011
I don't wear makeup daily because I don't have time, and I'm always touching my face so it smears. I agree with what you said- I want people to recognize me with and without makeup (unless it's a costume, of course)! But I don't think anyone should take a "no one should wear makeup" attitude. Makeup is fun to play with and it really is a form of expression. Seriously. I'm not just making excuses!
Rachel @ at 12:52 am, July 20th, 2011
Hmm, I understand the point you are trying to make, but much of your article is written from a biased point of view, making several assumptions.
To start, "stabbing myself in the eyes with colored pencils" shows that you obviously have an already negative view of makeup, one which is centred on unnecessary pain – no one chooses to stab themselves in the eye with a makeup pencil, just as no one chooses to drop a weight on their foot. It happens when one is learning and trying new things, and you get over it.
I must say that your paragraph abut your friend hurt me. To hear you say you were shocked to see what your friend looked like without makeup – how do you think she would feel to hear that? You should be as comfortable seeing someone in as out of makeup, just as people who wear makeup should be able to be comfortable in and out of makeup. Makeup does not change one's appearance so drastically that a friend cannot recognize the person sans makeup – if this is the case with this 'friend', though I hope it is a large exaggeration to emphasize your view on makeup, you may want to consider getting to know this person better before calling her a friend.
I don not know where you live, but in my home city and in other places to which I have traveled, there are plenty of people without makeup on. In my opinion, people should be as comfortable seeing a woman without makeup as they are with, and as comfortable seeing a man with makeup as with it.
Saying that you like your face an you don't need makeup to feel this way is a logical fallacy; you are assuming that since that since you are happy with your face and you do not wear makeup, people who wear makeup must be dissatisfied with their appearance. This is an over generalization and one that I quite dislike.
Sorry for the long winded speech, but I just wanted to but my two cents in! Or rather, 2 dollars
Mollie @ at 9:16 am, July 20th, 2011
Very noble of you, bucking the percieved societal norm, and good for you with your self-accepting attitude.
That being said I agree a lot with Rachel. While there is pressure on women to wear make up to look "presentable" to a degree, this doesn't mean that not wearing make up > wearing make up. Your language does give away a negative attitude towards make up as Rachel said, and just be careful that you don't end up disrespecting or thinking less of women or men that choose to wear make up because it makes THEM feel good – not for anyone else's sake.
I do feel that anyone who feels they HAVE to wear make up to walk outside the house probably has a lot of body image and insecurity issues to deal with, but you should feel just as comfortable and natural going out while you wear make up as when you don't. It shouldn't matter.
Bear in mind it's not always about feeling ugly without make up, it's often just about feeling nice with it.

It's always good to know that there are other non-makeup wearers of my age out there.
I have nothing against people that wear make-up, nothing at all, I just, as you pointed out, can't be bothered in the morning, really. Sleep is more important to me, and in other cases, make-up is more important to other people.
I do however really like make-up, though, and if I had the patience, I would do it every morning, but a quick dash of mascara is fine for me. In my eyes, there is quite an artistry to doing really nice make-up, and at the moment, I don't have the time to learn some great make-up techniques.
I don't think that you are giving a negative view towards make-up, either (as Rachel and Mollie have suggested), but I can see their points.
Mariella @ at 11:25 am, July 21st, 2011
At the moment I have pretty terrible skin, and don't feel I could go out without at least a little cover up on… this is not something I'm comfotable with, however, and I hate the way I feel like I have to wear makeup to feel strong and confident. I would say it's my own personal choice but I often question whether or not it really is.
However, I do often geninely enjoy experimenting with and wearing makeup, and how it can make me feel. When it comes down to it: We can't deny that looking good makes you feel good, however shallow that is.
Amy A @ at 7:29 pm, July 21st, 2011
Thanks guys for all of the feedback!
Nano Muse said very eloquently the point that I was trying to get across: "Make-up is something which I think should be used a.) sparingly and b.) something to create the effect of a prettier version of yourself."
@Rachel: The time with my friend occurred several years ago, within the first two months of high school. At the time, I didn't know the friend very well and had never seen her without makeup on. I didn't mean to imply that I was shocked because she was suddenly ugly or something; she's very pretty with or without makeup. I was merely shocked at the difference between the two versions of her.
I'm not going to argue that I am not biased on this issue. I think it's very difficult to write about this kind of thing without showing personal bias. I wasn't trying to say that all people who wear makeup are unhappy with their appearance because I know that's not true. As I mentioned, I do wear makeup on occasion and understand that it does have its merits. Sometimes a person just wants to look extra special! My intent was more to comment on the nature of choosing not to wear makeup in high school and feeling that it is an abnormal choice.
Seriously though, thanks. This is my first post (after having been a reader for more than a year) and I really appreciate all the comments.

I can say I grow up in a family that does not support the wearing of makeup which is kindof nice in regards to the fact that my parents already think that I'm fine the way I am. Also, I have found that a lot men I date don't like me to wear makeup and prefer me natural, and these guys are like every other guy out there, tall, handsome, muscular, popular.
Also, on another note, makeup seems to make my skin worse which makes me wear even more of it. So I can say I completely support you in "the wear no makeup" advocacy. I also noted that when I don't wear makeup people don't seem to notice a difference, there has been many times where people have actually commented on my natural beauty or have asked me what kind of makeup I wear to make me look like this.
I also want to add that makeup is becoming ridiculous, not only economically but just socially. My girlfriend just had her eyeliner tattooed onto her eyes which I think is unnecessary. Makeup to her I feel like is a way to cover up things, and she looks great without any. Makeup also has gotten so expensive; people are paying over $50 just for mascara, which is a complete waste of money in my mind.
Overall, I think your advocacy is great! This is a great start to what I believe is something that effects every girl in America and even Worldwide. I honestly can say that I feel just as beautiful without it, and it seems to just make my skin worse, which doesn't surprise me, it's probably a way for cosmetic companies to make more money. Anyway, I support your cause, and I can say for a lot of guys, they prefer you more natural, or at least all the men in my life do. So for whatever reason everyone wears makeup, there's probably 50 better reasons not to.

This is definitely a refreshing article to read! I, myself, have never worn make up, except for those occasional events like dances (mostly because I was forced to haha), and I am 19 years old. Honestly, I feel as long as if you are confident with yourself and choose to spend your energy elsewhere other than makeup, you will look naturally beautiful. A lot of people are surprised when I tell them I do not wear makeup; they find me naturally pretty, regardless. And I believe everyone is naturally beautiful. (:

Make-up is an apology for being born with this face.
lolly @ at 5:38 pm, November 13th, 2011
I totally agree. I don't wear makeup. ever. I think that the makeup industry advertises that women are not okay as they are now, its actually insulting if you think about it. All of my friends wear makeup, they say because it is fun to put it on, but more than once they have admitted that it is because they don't think they are pretty enough without it. They even wear makeup to sports practices which is kind of ridiculous. They are gorgeous without makeup but feel that they aren't good enough without it because our society doesn't accept woman who don't look like the movie stars. I am fine with makeup and when people use it, but so many people let it define them.
Alicia @ at 11:47 am, November 20th, 2011
I totally get u r saying. But for me makeup is art and I enjoy using it. I'm perfectly fine going to school without makeup on though
Saraha @ at 11:43 pm, November 26th, 2011
I grew up not wearing make up and got use to it. I will say i always wanted to wear it and look like one of those models but I see it like this… one day a guy is going to love me the way I look natural! And not love me for having tons of make up on my face. I look at myself and say, "Hey I AM A good looking girl." Even though most days I feel ugly. But, not wearing make up is fine with me. Because if someone doesn't like what my face looks now… SCREW THEM. That is their problem! I wish more girls would realize they don't have to impress anyone! BE YOURSELF.
Lauren @ at 5:03 am, September 7th, 2012
This is just me! I am like the only one in my year or whole school that doesn't wear make up but people take me for who I am! A lot of people used to think I was weird and tries to get me to wear it but I really am too lazy to get up early to sit and slap it on my face ahah x great article
Teacher @ at 7:43 pm, September 8th, 2012
I stopped wearing makeup when I started realizing how pretty my friends and sister looked without it! They didn't seem to know it and would apologize for not having makeup on at random times….but I was always thinking how great they looked without it…they looked younger! So, I just stopped. I never wore eyeshadow, but I would wear a liquid foundation, powder, blush, sometimes eyeliner….but now I only wear mascara and clear lip gloss….that's it. .All I put on my skin is witch hazel to clean it, and a moisturizer with a good SPF. I still get compliments and flirting from guys which is a lovely surprise. : ) I'll never go back to makeup.
Lynn @ at 3:36 am, March 22nd, 2013
Thank you for posting this and I thought I was the only one that didn't wear makeup. I am 44 yrs old and still don't wear it. I just don't like the way it feels on my face, plus too time consuming. Saves me a whole alotta money as well. Good for you stick to what's your personal choice.
Kate @ at 6:21 pm, September 7th, 2013
AMEN. I'M A FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE. and I didn't wear make up in high school. I don't like it and i don't understand WHY it's a girl's must to apply it! The only times I wore makeup was special occasions like weddings or pictures. I feel comfortable in my own skin. And I don't care if i'm a "Plain Jane" to guys. I TOTALLY agree of how shocking my friends faces look when I don't see them in their regular make up. And I don't know if its just me, but I don't like the feel of it on my face- it doesn't feel natural! Guys will like you for you- don't apply makeup to get his attention! Plus, a lot of guys don't like girls who wear TOO MUCH MAKE UP. They rather have natural! refreshing article to read! LOVE IT- You aren't alone
Lucy @ at 4:54 am, January 5th, 2016
Nice article. I too dont wear makeup and Im 27:)) I like myself. But many people view us makeupless ladies as narcissists, which is of course not true, liking your own natural face is healthy and not narcissistic! There are so many ways of caring about your beauty without makeup – you can sleep properly, you can eat properly, you can make home-made masks for your face – there are many recipes made of fresh fruits, milk, honey, etc. You can also make home-made moisturizers with vaseline and minth, you can use chapstic if there is a windy or cold weather outside…etc…this all is way better than relying on makeup for your beauty. I have nothing against makeup wearers of course, as everybody has the right to wear/or not wear what he/she wants. But I think the way society reinforces makeup even on women who dont want to wear it, is not healthy.

My son is an only child—an only cousin, even—so I couldn't let him hunt alone!" says editor-at-large Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, who started hosting an annual Easter egg hunt at her family's Texas ranch, about 45 minutes north of Dallas, in 2009. These days, 4-year-old J.R. is far from flying solo. In fact, 150 friends and family members now make their way to the ranch every Easter afternoon after carving the requisite ham with their immediate families. "We don't want to interrupt the traditional post-church meal, so we always schedule the hunt for midafternoon," Kimberly says. That way, family rituals remain intact and the menu (think sandwiches and handheld sweets) remains manageable. Here, a few recipes and kid-friendly ideas (a petting zoo!) so that you can also rise to the occasion.
Hosting a full-on Easter party can turn you into a basket case. Instead, opt for this easy-yet-elegant gathering where adults can graze and relax as kids enjoy the fun

I'm not sold on skille, sure he is a burst of energy, skates fast and hits but I think he is too selfish. He is horrible with his positioning in both ends of the ice. I guess he would be a good 4th liner in the future, but at what contract cost and what player spot? I secretly root for him on many nights I have to admit. Hopefully he proves my wrong. Feels like he is playing for a contract.
I like Goc a lot, but the reasons(s) he didn't make my list are that a) he's very solid, but not irreplaceable and I'm not sure he's really a "core" guy in the long run, and b) that he's one of the few guys not on my list that I feel like has any real trade value. I'm assuming best-case, of course, where we're only getting rid of guys to get something of value in return... I have no desire just to dump salary or clean house (with the possible exception of Kuba).
Skille is often the hardest working guy on the ice. If he had even a below-average scoring touch, he'd be a consistent 30 goal guy. But I think the other things he brings to the table more than make up for the fact that you're only gonna get 20 points out of him on a good year. LOVE me some Jack Skille.

NUNES, Rogean Rodrigues; CAVALCANTE, Sara Lúcia; GEMAL, Alberto Esteves and AMORIM, Domingos Gerson de Sabóia. Processed electroencephalogram in children anesthetized with sevoflurane. Is it feasible?. Rev. Bras. Anestesiol. [online]. 2003, vol.53, n.3, pp.307-321. ISSN 0034-7094. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0034-70942003000300001.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: EEG-derived bispectral index (BIS), has been indicated as a major substrate for measuring hypnotic effects of anesthetic drugs. However, there are only limited data on the use of EEG in anesthetized children. This study aimed at evaluating changes in BIS, SEF95%, relative delta band frequency amplitude (d%) and suppression rate (SR) in children, correlating these changes with sevoflurane pharmacodynamic variables (EC and EC/MAC) as compared to adults. METHODS: Participated in this study 100 patients of both genders, aged 0 to 40 years, physical status ASA I and II. All patients were induced with sevoflurane followed by neuromuscular blocker at BIS 30. Patients were distributed in 5 groups: GI (20) - 0 to 6 months; GII (20) > 6 months to 2 years; GIII (20) > 2 to 12 years; GIV (20) > 12 to 18 years and GV (20) > 18 to 40 years. Five moments were evaluated for each group: M1 (awaken); M2 (BIS 60); M3 (BIS 50); M4 (BIS 40) and M5 (emergence). The following parameters were recorded for all moments: SBP, DBP, HR, BIS, SEF95%, d%, suppression rate, EC and EC/MAC. RESULTS: Both BIS and SEF95% values for all age groups directly correlated to sevofluranes EC/MAC at BIS values of 40, 50, 60 and at emergence, considering MAC values for age (p > 0.05). d% values in GI were higher than in any other group during all five moments (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Unlike d%, the variations of which seem brain maturation-related, BIS and SEF95% may be used to monitor sevofluranes anesthetic depth in children aged 0 to 12 years, observing the parameters suggested for adults.

CONCORD Programme
CONCORD is the global programme for world-wide surveillance of cancer survival, led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. It is supported by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) as a programme of strategic significance for the World Cancer Declaration. The CONCORD programme is endorsed by 39 national and international agencies, including WHO EURO, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) and the World Bank.
The CONCORD Steering Committee includes scientists and cancer patients from 13 countries, with expertise in biostatistics, epidemiology, cancer registration and public health.
The data call for CONCORD-3 has been issued, with a deadline of 31 October 2016.
Cancer registries that are already represented in the CONCORD Working Group are invited to update their details with the blue button. New participants are invited to provide their details with the red button.

Why global surveillance of cancer survival?
The global burden of cancer is growing, especially in countries of low and middle income. Hence, the need for effective strategies of primary prevention is urgent. Prevention is crucial, but long-term. WHO's global target of a 25% reduction in deaths from cancer and other non-communicable diseases in people aged 30–69 years by 2025 ("25 × 25"), requires not just more effective prevention to reduce incidence, but also more effective health systems to improve survival.
Global surveillance of cancer incidence (IARC) and cancer mortality (WHO) has been in progress for over 50 years. The CONCORD-2 study has now initiated global surveillance of cancer survival, the third key metric of cancer control.
Information on the survival of all cancer patients in a population enables comparison of the effectiveness of health systems. Long-term surveillance will contribute to the evidence base for global policy on cancer control. CONCORD will monitor progress towards the overarching goal of the UICC World Cancer Declaration 2013: "major reductions in premature deaths from cancer, and improvements in quality of life and cancer survival". This should greatly improve prospects for global cancer control.
The first CONCORD study
The first CONCORD study, published in The Lancet Oncology (2008), was the first global comparison of population-based cancer survival. It showed wide variation in survival from cancers of the breast (women), colon, rectum and prostate among 1.9 million adults diagnosed during 1990-1994 and followed up to 1999 in 31 countries (16 with national coverage).
The CONCORD-2 study, published in The Lancet (2015), extended coverage to 25.7 million adults (15-99 years) diagnosed during the 15 years 1995-2009 with a cancer of the stomach, colon, rectum, liver, lung, breast (women), cervix, ovary or prostate, or leukaemia, and 75,000 children (0-14 years) with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Individual data on all these patients were submitted by 279 population-based cancer registries in 67 countries – 40 with national coverage of their population. Patients were followed up to 31 December 2009.
The 10 cancers examined in CONCORD-2 represent two-thirds (63%) of the overall cancer burden in both low- and middle- income, and high-income countries. The 67 participating countries are home to two-thirds of the world's population.

Participating countries and regions
Quality control and analysis
Standardised quality control procedures were applied. Errors were corrected by the registry concerned. Five-year net survival estimates were adjusted for background mortality by single year of age, sex, calendar year, and where possible, race, for each country or region. Survival estimates were age-standardised with the International Cancer Survival Standard weights.
Main findings
Five-year survival from colon, rectal and breast cancers has increased in most developed countries. Liver and lung cancer remain lethal in most countries. Striking increases in prostate cancer survival have occurred in many countries, but trends vary widely. The range in cervical and ovarian cancer survival is very wide, but there have been slight improvements. In Eastern Asia, stomach cancer survival is very high, but survival for adult and childhood leukaemia is remarkably low. The global range in survival from childhood leukaemia is very wide, suggesting major deficiencies in the management of what is now considered to be a largely curable disease.
