My operation was done on the 02/02/2008 & it went great. I felt secure & look after from the momnet i lended at the airport. Thank you once again to the all team & specially ' sawcen ',' samy ' the best chauffeur in Tunisia ,' NOUR'for the the visit & for looking after me during the stay. But this will not have been possible without & the friendly approach of ‘ NOZHA’ the first contact with cosmectica travel. I'm looking forward to more surgery in the summer Regards to you all & my lovely handsome Surgeon & his Assistant !!! Coraline B x

I travelled on my own for a tummy tuck and 4 weeks post op my shape is amazing. I keep having to look at it, my shape hasn't looked like this since I was in my twenties! Dr. D... is fantastic and so is his assistant, they are so caring in there approach. Dr. D,,, looks at the whole of you and he did liposuction right high up to just under my bust to totally streamline my waist. I can now get into dresses I could have only dreamed about, when I went out and bought a beautiful fitted cocktail dress for a cruise I go on in a couple of weeks, and it fitted me perfectly, it bought tears to my eyes! I have had no problems since coming home & no reason to see my doctor. The hotel is good, though due to some refurbishment of the hotel it could be a bit noisy at times. The pool is fantastic, the food plentiful and with a good choice. I would not hesitate to recommend cosmetica. I would be happy for anyone to contact me.

I travelled to tunisia with my cousin on 2nd feb and we had our surgery on 3rd feb 07. We were collected from the airport by Sammy (whom is a real gentleman and is always smiling, nothing seems to be too much trouble for him) and Sara. From the moment we arrived, we had such an amazing experience. The whole team were fantastic and i would highly recommend Cosmetica Travel to anyone considering having surgery. The clinic was spotless and the nurses were excellant, they were always checking you to make sure you were ok. Dr D and his assistant Dr N are wonderful, very professional and caring men who after meeting them totally made us feel more relaxed, infact they made us laugh. Dr D asks what your expectations are and explains everything to you, allowing you to ask as many questions as you like. The hotel was lovely 5*, room was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellant and there was a very good choice.(hospital food wasn't the best!). One good thing about going at this time of year is the hotel was empty which was fab because it was nice and quiet. Great for recovering. The only thing that i feel I must mention is make sure you travel with someone, just for the company, I don't know if I would have liked to do this on my own. Its has been 6 weeks now and I look and feel great, the results are fantastic and i am healing very well. I must say "hello" to all the other clients we met and hope you are all getting on ok and feeling as happy as me with your surgery!!! If I can be of any help to anyone please feel free to contact me

My first experience with CT was absolutely amazing. So I did wonder on the eve of my return (for a breast uplift on 7th February 2007) would my second visit live up to the first. Well, not only did it live up to it, but surpassed it. I was welcomed with open arms and I can honestly say acquaintances made on the first visit became friends on this visit. This time my husband was able to come and he was amazed at the genuine friendly and professional treatment we received. We did a few trips to local areas and received friendly treatment from everyone. Once again, the surgery went as planned using the latest techniques giving the best long-term results, and 21 days post op I can already see there will minimal scarring. (You can barley see it around the nipple area, and the line underneath is very fine). Dr D gave me post op advice on how much weight to loose to give me the best figure...and when i enrolled on my weight loss class tonight he was spot on! He really is a craftsman, very proud of his work and wants the best for all of his patients. The Asst Surgeon (Dr N) took loads of photos saying how great we all looked, again a craftsman concerned with the outcome. Houssem, the Clinic Director, and his staff attend a meal with all the clients at the hotel on a weekly basis. Anyone reading my previous guestbook comments will note I said that Dr D’s vibes ripple through the whole company, well after meeting and talking to him, (perhaps too much….sorry!) I know Houssem has something to do with it as well! Houssem has personal experience of how cosmetic surgery can change and reshape a person giving them back a sense of self worth and of the emotions they may feel, and I know the foundations of CT have been built on these, which I believe is why the clinic is unique. Houssem was genuinely interested in comments we had to make, and the girls (Clara and her Mum…hee hee hi girls!) commented about not been given enough dressings at the clinic to sustain them until next visit. That evening Abdel returned with a pack of dressings, and at the next clinic visit, Clara and her Mum (hee hee!) could not fit them in they bag they were given so many! In the UK a policy change of this kind would have taken countless memos, meetings and a budget analysis! The other compliant (mainly from me) was despite asking/pleading/begging to buy another bra, I was not offered one, on the last but one visit Dr N told me to wash it out...but the only way to dry it was to drag a table under the heating vent, put a chair on top and stand there for ages to dry it!! So when I pointed out to him “how would you like to wear the same underpants for 8 days?”, he didn’t quite understand until I pointed out and pulled his underwear…a few seconds later the penny dropped and he looked at my white dirty bra…looked horrified and said…”next visit I buy you a bra”. True to his word we three girls walked into the clinic 2 days later and he was waiting for us with an armful of bras…and he did buy them for us! Where would that happen in the UK I ask you!! So hopefully thanks to this incident when you ask to purchase a bra he will get you one! (they are very good quality and I would recommend you buy another one from them and not from the UK). Why I mention all this is CT really listen to the needs of the customer and will alter anything ASAP to make our stay, experiences and memories as wonderful as possible. (How may women get the opportunity to tug an Assistant surgeons underpants…or have a bra bought by them?…….sorry my sense of humour!!). I still cannot recommend them highly enough, they have changed not only my life though physical changes, which has lead to an increased sense of self-worth and confidence, but broadened my experiences by actually experiencing the hospitality of the Clinic and it’s staff, the Hotel and it’s staff, and the Tunisians we encountered on our trips out. If you wish, you can email me and I have prepared quite a detailed document that covers a lot about the hotel, clinic with hints and tips that I would loved to have known before I went. I update it regularly to include FAQ’s. If you would like to chat via email or talk to me then that can be arranged. I was lucky to have BJ (whom first told me about CT) and Anne (from this guest book) to talk to, and I would like to extend the same opportunity to anyone else considering surgery, as I would hate to think that someone out there decided not have a life changing procedure because they could not find someone who “has been there and done it” to talk to. Finally, although I have no need to visit CT for surgery, thanks to the generosity of Dr D and CT my husband, I, and some of our children have the opportunity to visit Tunisia and the wonderful Tunisian people and culture once more. We cannot wait to return to immerse ourselves in its hospitality, and we are already learning French as I write this…hence Auvoire!

Cosmetica Travel was recommended to me by clients of another doctor in Tunis, who although an excellent surgeon, felt let down by other aspects of the organisation. My first reaction upon reading this guest book was that the whole organisation, clinic, staff etc, treated you as an individual, and perhaps with the same care and attention they themselves would like to receive or bestow on their mothers! My first email to them, replied from by Abdel, was a personally tailored email, not an “en-mass” email I had received from countless other companies. I knew instantly I had found the right place for me. When I was emailed Dr. D’s credentials I knew without a doubt that that gorgeous caring face looking at me was the surgeon for me. All my emails from dates, times and personal feelings of cosmetic surgery were answered quickly and with genuine understanding of how I was feeling. On the day of the surgery every person I saw was sincere and professional and understood completely how I felt. The clinic ran like clockwork and it was obvious they had a very good long standing professional caring staff from the surgeon down the line to housekeeping and catering staff. It seemed to me the exceptional caring vibes of the personality of Dr.D spread to every corner of the clinic and through everybody who works there. Dr D did not just treat me as a tummy tuck, he looked at the whole me and did liposuction on my love handles and back to “give me a better shape”, something no other surgeon form the UK or Belgium had mentioned. Dr D did not charge me extra for this, again was unlike any other company or surgeon I had approached. I developed anaemia 2 days post op and was kept in until I felt ready to leave, and no time was I made to feel an inconvenience or in the way. I was treated very quickly and the symptoms explained. What I liked, was when the staff monitored me they had really concerned looks on their faces and would give me reassuring touches and strokes, that care, in my opinion cannot be faked. The operation went as Dr D said it would, I love where the scar is and 3 weeks post op it is amazing. My whole shape is lovely and sexy and cannot believe that those love handles have gone!! The hotel was lovely, food, staff, service etc. I will warn you about the mosquitoes. Nobody warned me and I got bit quite a lot. Reception can provide you with spray, but take with you everything else. They come in during the day, hide in the dark corners and feast on you at night!! You are seen everyday by someone from Cosmetica Travel. I had alternate days at the clinic with the Surgeon and Assistant Surgeon, and the “injection nurse” on other days who came to the hotel in the evenings. You can contact them at anytime either yourself, or ask reception to call them if you have a problem or feel worried about something. I am not a seasoned traveller, but I travelled alone and at no time did I feel intimidated or out of place. As it’s a 5* hotel so you do not meet the typical package holiday cliental. I met lots of people, had a laugh with all staff. I used my school girl French to get by, and chatted with other CT clients. Tunis is a safe place to go out in, its heavily policed due to the American and English Embassies located there. One CT client went out everyday till late with her daughter (hi girls, if you read this!), even walking into Tunis, and she had no problems. You a get a choice of a complimentary treatment in the Hotel Salon. I chose reflexology to aide healing, and subsequently had 2 more. As I had been in hospital my skin looked yuk, so I had paid and had an amazing facial and subsequently bought the products! The physiotherapist also gave me a massage at the clinic the day before I went home (heaven on my sore bits I can tell you!) to aide the swelling. As I said Cosmetica Travel really treat the “Whole you”. I am returning as soon as I have healed from this surgery to have a breast lift. Whilst I will not need anything after that, I will definitely arrange to use them for other minor cosmetic treatments like permanent lip liner etc, and as time begins to take its toll on my face, using the immortal words of Arnold Swarznegger “I’ll be back” Thank you Cosmetica Travel for looking after me. XXX PS, the Assistant Surgeon (whose name is too long to remember) is an amazing man. His presence and voice fill the room and he puts you at ease immediately. He and Dr D are an amazing team and long may they work together to help other women achieve their dreams of returning their bodies to way they were before multi pregnancies changed them!
