Together they are Vie Aesthetics, and run leading clinics in Harley Street, Germany and Southend.
My mum insists on going to Belgium to have her aesthetic treatment. She says spending a few days there means no one suspects she is having anything done and it is cheaper. My sister and I added it up and with the train and stay it is far from cheaper and we do not like the results. The doctor suggests a lower face lift next, she is only 42 there must be something simpler at her age. What would you advise?

I would hazard at a guess your mother being only 42, is too young for a lower surgical face lift. Obviously, I would have to see her for a consultation and then take it from there.
A few suggestions for your mother that would give her results (for the lower face) close to surgery would be HIFU (high frequency focused ultrasound). The results of that can be further enhanced by threads, collagen stimulating fillers, and many more options. Finally, on the going abroad issue; we would advise against that, as if there are any possible complications after surgery, they can understandably be better and quicker dealt with in the UK, rather than your mother having to travel back and forth.
