My husband and I would like to thank all staff at Bodies Beautiful for their brilliant work and effort they put into making our stay in Prague a pleasant and peaceful one.

When I came across the website I found it very informative and was very pleased that Nick was able to email me the information I had requested and answered any queries that I had. After receiving information from the Department of Health, I decided to do my research on the company and their procedures on surgery. I wanted to be certain that Bodies Beautiful was a genuine company, since I've watched documentaries of patients having cosmetic surgery because its cheap and so-called surgeons who have performed surgery without any registrations. So I wanted to get some independent advice before making the initial decision. I thought that it was all too good to be true because the prices are so much lower than the UK, but now having been to Prague, I can understand why.

After informing Nick that I wanted to travel to Prague for a consultation, I was delighted that he recommended airlines, booked our hotels and emailed me the estimated costs of the trip.

At all times we found Nick to be a helpful and reliable person. He met us at the airport when we arrived and arranged for us to have our own driver while we were there, which was a very efficient service. He was also able to advise us on the local transport and tasty food outlets to eat at.

When we arrived at the clinic, we were greeted by a few members of staff. They were polite and courteous towards us which made us feel very welcome, it put me at ease as I was very nervous at the time.

When I met the actual surgeon who would perform the operation, he explained what the whole surgery would entail, what to expect after surgery and answered all questions that I had to enable me to make the final decision.

I have to say that I am very pleased with the outcome of the operation. I went from a tiny 34 A to a stunning 34 D cup and for the first time in 7 years I now have the confidence to wear anything that I want without having to put on a wired or padded bra! The scaring has improved and is hardly noticeable as the small incisions are on the perimeter of my areola. I just need more time until the swelling goes down and they are able to settle.

I found the nurses were very helpful. There overall performance and attitudes were very satisfactory, which met up to our expectations. The clinic is a clean and safe environment for patients with skilled staff who attended to my needs to ensure that I was comfortable.

I can confidently recommend Bodies Beautiful as a solid and professional company with a team who are able to deliver all expectations one would expect from surgery.

Thank you all so much
