Late 2018, I started researching cosmetic surgery abroad - reviewed surgeries in many countries and researched various clinics. Finally,
I decided on Czech Republic as their medical standards are much higher. I made several enquiries with Praga Medica in February 2019-
lovely Lenka was my point of contact and from the very first email we exchanged, she gave me lots of information and then we agreed to
speak on the phone to go through my questions in more detail. I can not even begin to explain how great Lenka is - she is very
knowledgeable, professional and cares for her clients. She has always been there for me, answered every question,advised me, accompanied
me to my consultations, checked on me after my operation and when I returned home. Lenka informed me of the doctor who was going to
operate on me, the clinic and prices. I did a thorough background check and once I was happy with my findings, I informed Lenka that I
was ready to go ahead. My first set of operations were scheduled for November 2019. On my arrival in Prague Jan the driver picked me up
from the airport and showed me a few places on the way to my accommodation. The next day, Lenka met me at my hotel and we went for a
consultation with Dr Pilka of Aesthevita clinic. Dr Pilka is a sweetheart - he carried out a detailed examination and recommended the
procedures best suited for my body (breast reduction/uplift and backlift). He explained all the procedures in detail and answered all my
questions patiently. I had most of my tests done in the clinic and completed all the forms on the same day , ready for my operation the
next day. On the day of the operation, I had to go for an ultrasound and then arrived at the clinic.,The nurse got me ready, and
shortly after Dr Pilka arrived for measurements and marking for the operation. After the operation, I woke up in the room and my nurse
looked after me and checked me regularly as I have very low blood pressure after surgery. Later on Dr Pilka came to check on me and
told me to rest. Next day, early morning Dr Pilka and his care team came to change the dressing and fit me with a special compression
garment. I stayed in the clinic 2 nights and when Dr Pilka was satisfied that I was well enough he discharged me. I had 3 more visits
to the clinic before returning to the UK. The clinic was super clean and staff so nice and really looked after me. Dr Pilka wants
pictures after week1, 3 and 6 to assess progress.
Since my last visit, I have lost more weight, so I contacted Lenka and requested
information a few procedures. As always she was super efficient and answered all my queries. due to the pandemic, lockdowns and border
closures, my flights kept getting cancelled. Lenka was very patient with me through all this and was in contact with me all the time. On
my arrival date, my flight was yet again cancelled, but I managed to catch another flight from a different airport, which meant that I
would arrive in Prague late in the evening. Lenka checked my flight on a regular basis and asked Jan to pick me up and take me to my
accommodation. Although I arrived late she stayed up to make sure that I got to my accommodation safely. Due to all travel disruptions,
I arrived a week earlier than my appointment with Dr Pilka - he agreed to see me so I could have some leisure time before the surgery.
Once again Lenka accompanied me to the consultation and we completed all the necessary documentation prior to seeing Dr Pilka. Dr Pilka
carried out a thorough examination, went through details of the procedures with me. This time I had a tummy tuck, pubic area
reduction/uplift, lower & upper eyelid surgery. I had my surgery early morning and stayed at the clinic 2 nights. I had early morning
visits from Dr Pilka. He likes to start early, so he can check on his patients before starting surgery. On the 3rd day, Lenka
accompanied me to my accommodation and made sure that I was comfortable before leaving. she contacted me on a regular basis to check on
my progress and wellbeing. After a couple of days of rest, I was mobile and started visiting places using trams (that is the best way
of seeing the city and getting familiar with the surroundings). i was lucky to be able to stay in Prague for a few weeks (due to flight
cancellations and lockdown) and explore this beautiful city. During my stay, Dr Pilka kindly checked my wounds a few times to make sure,
I was making good progress. Also Lenka told me about various non-touristic areas that I could visit. I was very surprised that I was
mobile after a few days and could do most things - i really think Dr Pilka has magic hands.He constantly attend seminars to widen&
improve his knowledge and learn about new techniques and equipment to make the surgery more comfortable and painless. I had no pain at
all and could not believe that I had undergone 2 massive surgeries.
I can't praise Lenka and Dr Pilka enough. They are both wonderful,
kind and caring.. I am truly satisfied and content with the service that I have received and have no hesitation in recommending both
Praga Medica and Aesthevita. Also happy to share my experience with anyone who is thinking of undergoing cosmetic surgery.
I have
used a couple of other services provided by Praga Medica and have been thoroughly happy with them.
Last year, I visited DuoVize clinic
for vision correction. I was there for 4-5 hours and they carried out through examination of my eyes and carried out various tests and
made recommendation for a very competitive price. The doctors were very professional and expressed their hones opinion. I decided not to
go ahead with the surgery.
This year, whilst, I was in Prague, I suffered a very bad toothache. I asked Lenka for recommendation and
she put me in touch with Lucie. You can read my testimonial on Dentistry section of Praga Medica.
