December 2002 - Darren (31) - Newcastle, UK

My time in Prague went better than I had anticipated thanks to Bodies Beautiful. I didn´t realise how short the flight would be from East Midlands, and with George as my guide when I got to Prague things went extremely smoothly.

He went out of his way to help, picking me up at the airport, providing me with maps, some translation (most Czechs speak some English), and driving me to the clinic three times.

I am extremely pleased with the results of the operation but it will still take around another month or two for full healing.

The clinic was very professional. Everyone was so friendly and spoke fairly good English. My surgeon talked me through what results I could expect at the initial consultation. He explained the exact procedure, what limitations there were to it, and then checked the skin around my eyes to make sure it was possible for me to undergo this type of surgery (I had already given him photos so he had a good idea). I then went for blood tests to check I could undergo a general anesthetic.

The following morning I arrived back at the clinic and had the operation. The next morning my surgeon checked my eyes and explained to me that it was a complete success. I am very happy with the results a month later. No visible scars at all!

I wouldn´t hesitate in recommending Bodies Beautiful Cosmetic to anyone else now that I have experienced their service.

You see a lot of horror stories on television about people traveling for cosmetic surgery because it is cheap, and receiving treatment from cowboys who botch it up. I was slightly apprehensive about going to the Czech Republic because the price quoted was very cheap compared to the UK, and seemed to good to be true. However, from the telephone conversations I had with Nick I got the feeling this was a genuine service and decided to go for it. I am very pleased that I did. Mirka and Nick kept in touch throughout to check everything was going smoothly as well.

When I arrived in Prague, I realised why the surgery is so cheap. There is a large difference in prices between the Czech Republic and the UK. Everything is about 50-75% cheaper and of better quality (especially food and drink). With respect to the clinic, I got the same (if not better) service I would have gotten with BUPA for less than half the price!
