Real Patient Testimonials and Experiences
The people below whom we met and looked after (we hope) were all very trusting and kind people. Many of these cases studies date back more than 20 year.

My experience with Europa International was one I was nervous about at first. I had made my decision about having the operation to have my breasts enlarged so I thought the best place to look would be the internet so I tapped in plastic surgery Prague on Google and had a look through the options. The website that caught my eye and gave me all information I was looking for was Europa international. I contacted Libby then for more information, and she was lovely she answered all my questions and even made me aware of thing’s I wouldn’t have thought to ask. She made me aware of all aspect of the operations which gave me confidence to book the operation.
John and I at the airport.
One occasion I recall (I can laugh about it now), when post-op, I called John to say I thought that I had “sprung a leak” under my support garment. I could feel something moist and a strange odour coming from there. This incidentally was a Good Friday. John immediately got on to the clinic and arranged for me to be taken in. When I arrived (expecting to see a Nurse or something), no…. to my pleasant surprise and relief, I saw my actual plastic surgeon striding down the corridor armed with his briefcase.
I recall John waiting around rather apprehensively!! Ten minutes later, I reappeared, fully reassured. The moistness was, in fact, “iodine” which the surgeon applied to aid healing. This was also the reason for what I thought was a strange smell!!
This made me think of how it might have been if I had the procedure done in the UK and sent more or less straight home with the surgeon nowhere to be seen. Or if I came to Prague and opted to go down a budget route and returned home in a few days. Or one particular company I considered (not in the Czech Republic but abroad), who send you virtually straight home. The reassurance of access to your actual surgeon here during the entire stay was priceless!!
Post-op, I experienced no pain, only sensitivity when going over bumps in John’s Jeep. Also, I am pleased with the minimal scarring as he only went in around the nipple area. I believe this method of uplifting is called a “concentric lift”, or in popular terms “Doughnut” or “lollipop.”
To my surprise, only last week I saw a large article in a national newspaper where this type of uplift (minimal scarring) was the latest thing on the market.
Ha….In Prague, the surgeon told me this is standard procedure and has been offered there for over 10 years.
Lastly, a massive thanks to my wonderful chaperone, John. Who was with me virtually every step of the way. Taking me along with him each day to cafés, shops and all round Prague. His wit and humour overcame all my fears… John, you were priceless. I shall never forget you.
