Most FFS patients stay in hospital for a whole week the guest house from our clinic so that they can recover in a safe and calm environment.
Welcome! We expect you in our clinic the day before your operation around noon. You can easily reach 2pass Clinic!
Our patient coordinator will welcome you, give you a tour of our guest house and escort you to your room. There you can settle in for the coming week. You can chat with the other patients, meet our permanent resident Petra, relax and unwind.
Around 12.00:XNUMX you will have your preoperative consultation with Dr. Bart van de Ven. Please note that this consultation is required by law. You can talk about the different procedures one last time, preoperative photos will be taken, some administrative documents will be filled in and you will receive your postoperative medication and ice packs.
If you need a CT scan of the neck because you are going to have an Adam's apple reduction, this will be done the same day. Instructions will follow.
Make sure that at least one finger or toenail is free of nail polish for the surgery the next day. This is necessary to measure your oxygen saturation correctly.
The first morning after the operation, the morning nurse will help you shower and check and change the dressings. The Doctors' team will visit you in the morning.
These tests are NOT included in the price, with the exception of the CT scan for an Adam's apple reduction. All these tests must be arranged by you in your own country. Your GP can help you with this. The results must be uploaded to your account on our patient platform. Blood tests and ECGs may not be older than 3 months. They are extremely important because the anaesthetist cannot administer general anaesthesia without this anaesthetic.

Rachel about her recovery
Around noon, the final check-up will take place with Dr. Bart van de Ven in his office. At that time, photos will be taken for the medical file. Since most stitches are self-dissolving, you are now ready to return home!
After 4 months you will have a post-operative check-up with the doctor in Antwerp, or the city you have chosen. We will discuss your recovery, look at the results and discuss if there is anything else we can do for you.
