I chose Czech Rep because of high standard of qualifications, and PB because I felt I could trust them: they were UK based, their
website was informative, with Q&As from many satisfied customers planning to go again, and followup (3%)was covered in cost, so I
figured they must have a good success rate to have been in business a while. Responses to Qs were immediate, English fluent.
I was able
to choose a convenient date to fit into a busy schedule: 6 days including travel. The cost included all travel and hotel ,which they
arranged (simple!) and we were met at the airport by friendly contacts who looked after us the whole time. Hotel afterwards was fine and
we had a number to call for immediate assistance.
The surgeon, anaesthetist and nurse were very competent and kind. The surgeon did not
have much English, but as our minder was translating, this did not matter. The surgeon was a professor in cosmetic surgery at a teaching
hospital, so of excellent experience. The clinic was a tiny place with two beds, and I was glad to have a companion with me or I would
have felt a bit alone. I believe that when they have two or three people in the same week they use a bigger clinic.
The operation was a
great success and healed in the time predicted (4 weeks for swelling to disappear completely, but looked ok in 2.5-3 weeks).
How does it
feel immediately afterwards? I couldn't open my mouth fully or chew very much for a few days, and it gradually got back to normal over 3
weeks. The stitching behind my ears itched and felt hot while the initial bandaging was on (5 days) which was helped by paracetamol and
sleeping pills but there was no pain as such. It *is* quite a big operation and you do feel a bit fragile for a couple of weeks, so plan
nothing very energetic for a month. You have to wear the supportive bandage for the necklift most of the time for a fortnight - take it
off to shower and wash hair.
The results are well worth the temporary discomfort. Friends have remarked "you're looking well!" - but
don't notice that I have had anything "done". I just look refreshed and natural. I am really pleased!
