I stayed at Le Chatelain Brussels Hotel. Definitely recommend it. The only thing I will say is the food was pricey $30 euros per meal). But great service. 

I was a tad bit nervous bc its a 10 minute walk for Mwamba's office, I thought that was going to seem far a walk for post-surgery. But its not far at all. No difference really between a hotel thats 2 minutes away and one thats 10 minutes away. 

Did the doctor end up providing transportation after the surgery to your hotel nearby or did you just walk?

Sure,

I highly recommend B&B HOTEL Brussels Centre Louise, it’s only 5 minutes walking from the clinic and definitely the best price/quality option. Rooms are amazing, big, clean, modern and very nice decorated.

Great, thanks. Did the doctor provide transportation to and from the hotel/ clinic right after the surgery? Or did you have to walk late at night after surgery?

Yeah 6-8 is fine.  I'll def look into a consult with Mwamba, but did you pay a VAT on the procedure?   Did you do it after the changes to VAT on hair implants?  It supposed to go down from 21% to 6%(jan 2022 onward).   Was his price still competitive vs Pinto or Freitas with VAT?

Is the VAT decrease for surgeries as well? I saw that it was a temporary decrease for electricity

This is really interesting, so its not really VAT refund, you simply pay 0% tax for this proccedure. I wonder in what part of the Belgian tax law is this mentioned? Sounds weird ngl. I guess all responsibility falls on Bisanga to justify to the authorities that no tax was paid then.

Did you ever reach out to mwamba to see if you could get your VAT money back. You paid a lot of money on VAT.

I have a transplant in a few months and would like to see if anyone else was able to get VAT refunded or had 0% VAT for their surgery with Mwamba

Can you please tell me specifically what the note says? Do you present it to customs at the airport as you are departing back home?

Or can you explain the process in more detail?

Coincidentally enough im seeing my primary care doc on Monday for a routine physical, I can ask him to write a note then

Did you talk about the VAT refund or 0% VAT with Dr Mwamba and his assistants? I just would like to see if you were able to get a refund since you already had your surgery this month

Do you remember if you were given large liquid medication bottles from the doctor? I am getting a transplant from Mwamba and I'm just curious to see if the liquid medication would be able to go through security in my carry on luggage. Did you have any trouble with that?

Also did you have technicians shampoo your head the next day after the surgery? I was told that it could be an option. Did you use baby shampoo to  shampoo your head the next few days?

I recently got back from Brussels after a procedure with Mwamba

-Get there a day or so early so you can tour the city. Brussels is small enough you only need 1 full day to walk around and see all the major attractions. I didn't even need to take the subway

-Get a nice hotel that hopefully has room service. I just ordered room service for all my meals that were not at Mwamba's office

 

Great advice. I am having surgery with Mwamba in Brussels too in a few months. How did you move around Brussels without using the subway system? Is Brussels so small that you just walked around?

Would you recommend the hotel that you stayed at to others? What was the hotel?

Great Results. I scheduled to have surgery with Mwamba in a few months. Would you have any recommendations on where to stay in Brussels?

Day 1 post op:morning after procedure)

sleep very well using neck pillow and the pads provided by the clinic but will def do what @Melvin- Moderator suggests in his yt vid and buy pads from Amazon from when I get back home just to be extra cautious with the donor for the next couple weeks, no pain at all in the donor have been spraying both the hairline and donor with saline spray everytime I can today I’m going in for a hair wash by the team here are pics of the donor and hairline after getting up this morning no swelling at all so recovery is going very very well so far 👌 

I'm referring to this pad that you said here. You said that Melvin talked about it. Could you please send a link to the pad or video that you were talking about

Day 2: Post op

everything is going smoothly donor feels tender grafts are a bit itchy but using salt spray as often as I can relives it the work is clean and tidy I can easily hide the recipient area swelling was never an issue since I’m a 3 min walk from the clinic I’m taking advantage of having them wash my hair and using the laser cap massage chair twice a day extremely comfortable and it’s complementary here are pics of the donor and recipient day 2 post op 

Which hotel near the clinic did you stay at? Any transportation recommendations on how to move around in Brussels? Also what is the Pad that you mentioned earlier that you bought from amazon? Can you please send a link to the YT video if possible

I also think that dr mwamba stay to much time before extraction and implantation and the grafts are outside the body to much time, this is not good. I did my 3 rd transplant with them and this is my opinion. At my first 2 transplants after extraction the grafts were implanted in a short time.

How did your surgery with Dr Mwamba go? Do you have afro hair?

im going to mwamba next month so this is a little concerning what do you advise?

Did you end up having a surgery with Dr Mwamba? if so, how was your experience with him? and Do you have Afro hair as well?

How was your consultation? Was it in person or virtual?

This looks awesome. How much was the entire surgery?

amazing results. How much did it cost for you?
