I came to Estevien Clinic in October 2025 for a tummy tuck, liposuction, and J-Plasma. Overall, my experience was very positive, and if I were considering another procedure, I would return to the same place. This is a personal account of my experience (please read with discretion).
I would like to commend the support from the teams, from the initial contact (quote) to this day. I have always received answers to my questions. I had a video consultation with the surgeon before the operation and spoke with the doctor several times during post-op.
As indicated on my quote, the package included airport/clinic and hotel/clinic transfers, two nights at the clinic, a translator, and post-operative care during my stay. On my end, I was responsible for the hotel, meals, flights, and upon my return to France, the costs for massages, creams, and new compression garments.
I am very pleased with the quality of the surgery. From the very beginning—despite the bruising, swelling, and scars—I could already see that the results were very aesthetic. Now, it is a matter of taking care of myself following the medical team's recommendations and being patient with the recovery (which takes time for this type of surgery).
I also want to praise the doctor, who was very attentive to my questions, the nursing staff who supported me through difficult moments, and my translator, who always had a smile.
Challenges and Additional Information
Payment: It was possible to pay for the entire operation in cash or via bank transfer. A deposit was mandatory on the day of arrival.
Support: It was recommended that I come with a support person. Having gone alone, I can confirm that I would have benefited from help with both morale and managing logistics/movements.
Last-minute costs: A few hours before the operation, while I was already in my surgical gown, the surgeon’s assistant recommended J-Plasma for the back area instead of liposuction to minimize scarring. This cost an additional payment. I felt caught off guard; while I don't regret saying yes, I would have liked to know this before coming so I could plan the financing.
Medical contingencies: It was only at that same moment that I was informed that only one unit of blood and plasma would be covered in the event of a transfusion, and any supplement would be billed to me. Again, I couldn't anticipate these costs; if I said no, the surgery wouldn't happen, and if I said yes, it was an unexpected surplus to pay. Upon my departure, I was told I needed three additional units. Given my emotional state (post-op fatigue, etc.), I felt quite distressed by this.
Conclusion
I am concluding this review on a positive note regardless, because the results are there and everything went well overall. Given this first experience, I would return to Estevien Clinic for my next procedure.
