Global Care Clinic

Global Care Clinic operates as a specialized plastic surgery facility located in Heusden-Zolder, Limburg province, approximately 20 minutes east of Hasselt. Established over 25 years ago, the clinic has developed a focused practice in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, distinguishing itself through specialized expertise combined with individualized patient management.
The clinical program centers on breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, and body contouring procedures. Dr. Marc Nelissen, the lead plastic surgeon, maintains accreditation with the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and has developed a recognized approach to aesthetic outcomes over approximately two and a half decades of practice. Specific surgical offerings include breast augmentation—the clinic holds designation as the first official Motiva Preservé clinic in Belgium—abdominoplasty, liposuction, and combination procedures commonly referred to as mommy makeovers. Non-surgical services encompass anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.
Infrastructure specifications include two fully equipped operating rooms and dedicated recovery facilities, all constructed to the S3 safety standards mandated by the Belgian Society for Private Clinics. The facility employs a laminar airflow ventilation system that achieves complete air volume replacement every minute, meeting the ISO 1446-1 Class 5 standard equivalent to university hospital operating room specifications. Additional safety infrastructure includes a 24-hour emergency generator with battery backup systems.
Quality assurance frameworks include simultaneous maintenance of the Belgian Society for Private Clinics quality label, HEX certification, and International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery accreditation—making the facility one of few in Belgium, and the sole provider in Limburg province, to hold all three designations concurrently.
International patient services encompass multilingual coordination in Dutch and English, with established protocols for patients traveling specifically for surgical consultation and treatment. The consultation process emphasizes realistic outcome discussion rather than procedural promotion. Pricing structures for cosmetic surgery in Belgium typically reflect 40–50% reductions compared to comparable procedures in the United Kingdom or United States; breast augmentation procedures ranging £6,000–7,000 in London typically fall within €3,500–4,500 in this market. The clinic provides individualized quotations following consultation rather than fixed pricing schedules.
Accessibility from Brussels requires approximately 45–60 minutes via the E313 highway, with variability depending upon traffic conditions. Rail access is available via transfer to Hasselt station, with approximately 15 minutes additional transit required.
