The people below who we met and looked after (we hope) were all very trusting and kind people. many of these cases studies date back more than 12 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.
Another occasion I recall ( I can laugh about it now) when 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 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) 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 from “iodine” which the surgeon applied to aid healing. This also was 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 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 Czech Republic but abroad), who send you virtually straight home. The reassurance of access to your actual surgeon here during your entire stay is… priceless!!
Post-op I experienced no pain only sensitivity when going over bumps in John 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. In Prague the surgeon told me this is standard procedure and has been offered there for over 10 years.

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.
My mum came with me to Prague and dad came over after the surgery. John and Libby did everything she could to accommodate us so as we would all be together, which was good, as I had their support and help.
We got to Prague on a sun afternoon and we were met at the airport by John, and y first impression was that he was friendly and reassuring; he put my mind at ease because as you would think I was very nervous. The apartment was fantastic, we had everything we could need including internet access which I was thrilled about as there were times when I couldn’t sleep and this kept me occupied. On the morning of my operation John picked me up and took us to the clinic, where I was introduced to my surgeon who was really nice. He gave me great confidence and reassurance which helped me relax. The staff at the clinic was all so friendly and helpful. They held my hand throughout my stay.
The operation went well, no complications. I will admit I was in pain when I woke up but that’s what the painkillers are for.
I stayed for a full week in Prague and everyday I felt better. I had frequent visits from John who was checking on my progress> Also I had the support from the lovely people who were staying in the other apartment.
I will look back on my experience and have only postive things to say. I’m so glad I did what I did and with the company that I chose. Along the way I made some lovely friends too.
I have to admit I was pessimistic from the start forever thinking something was going to go wrong. I look back now and laugh because there was nothing to worry about. I want to thank Libby & John for all their support and help. They both were “hands on” all the way through my experience. In fact without them in support I may never have gone through with the operation, as my nerves would have probably gotten the best of me.
Again a big thank you.

Chris Amos septo rhinoplasty testimonial
Six weeks ago I had a nose job
– Septo Rhinoplasty to be specific. I am here to let you know I ventured forth into the land of cosmetic surgery, survived and am now very happy with the result.
As an adult I have always wanted to have this done, mainly to repair the damage from when I was twelve-years-old and broke my nose diving into a shallow swimming pool.
Before going to Prague there are forms to sign and a few simple instructions to follow for two weeks prior to the operation; no Aspirin, multi-vitamins, alcohol, smoking, plus some food to avoid, all of which help slow down your blood pressure for the operation.
When in Prague, I was put you up in a modern apartment with internet access – my home base there for the next two weeks.
On the second day in Prague I visited the clinic to meet with my surgeon, at the same t had a few tests done to prepare me for the operation.Plus also to make sure I would not react badly to the anesthesia used.
The following day the operation took place whis lasted (So I was told) just two hours. One minute I was admiring the sophisticated hi-tech surgery, the next, I was waking up with bandages all over my face. The first six hours of recovery are the most uncomfortable; ice packs on my face, tampon-like pads under my nose to stop bleeding – nothing to do, except day dream, sleep and wonder “is this really worth it”. There was no pain just annoyance at having things shoved in your nose and not breathing properly, like having a severe cold.
After two night hospital stay I went back to the apartment where we could watch videos, surf the internet and go into the town for sight-seeing. Prague has lots to see, beautiful castle, buildings, awesome cheap shopping, good food and theatre. Although it was embarrassing being seen with face bandages, I prefer to go out and about in a city where I don’t know anyone then be in London visiting my local corner store having to explain myself.
After a week, had check-ups with the doctor and the internal nose plaster came out, thankfully breathing became easier. A few more days later and some stitches were taken out and I was free to go home to the UK. Throughout all this there is a plaster cast was attached to my face to protect the nose, this stays on for two weeks, then another ten days just at night to protect the nose when you sleep.
The final result can take six months to see exactly what you have due to swelling of the nose, however, in my case I noticed the results as soon as the cast came off two weeks after the operation and have been so happy with my nose ever since!
Most friends don’t even notice that I have had a nose op, this is a good sign that it wasn’t botched up! One guy I know told me he fancied me more now with my improved nose, then before when broken! When I go out I feel more confident with my looks.
People seemed surprised that I would go to Prague to have this done, yet, now, knowing everything about the procedure and how this works I am surprised anyone would consider staying in the UK to undergo a cosmetic operation. Save your money, go away and come back feeling like a new person.

I knew I was in the safest possible hands
SUNDAY 13TH May 07
Dear Libby and John
Just wanted to write to you both to say a ABSOLUTLEY MASSIVE THANK YOU for all that you have done for me since I won the PLASTIC SURGERY LOTTERY competition back in Feb 07.
It took a while for it to sink in that I had actually won the prize and no sooner than it had sunk in I was on the plane to Prague!!!!
Libby you have been so patient with me, because I know I was on the phone a lot with Q’S, you explained everything to me in detail and I thank you for that. Your website is brilliant I could actually see for myself the surgeons work and read other lady’s testimonials which is fantastic. I knew I would be looked after.
John from the minute we meet at Prague airport you have been my rock, you’ve been there for me every single step of the way. You knew I was extremely nervous on the day of the operation but you put my mind at rest because you knew exactly what you were talking about and I knew I was in the safest possible hands. The clinic I was at was lovely and very very clean, the staff could not do enough for me and the 2 other girls I was with. It was funny though John when you came to visit, you had to get changed into the overalls and looked like the surgeon!! Hope they didn’t whisk you off to operate on a patient!! Ha ha.
Well all I can say about our apartments is that I felt like a film star living in it, their so beautifully furnished and fully equipped with everything that you could ever want, I could say a home from home!! (Libby I watered your plants for you!!)
Prague city itself is stunning, I finally got out and about on the Thursday PM and went for coffee with Debbie, we had a fantastic time, spent to much money though!!
There was no stopping me from then on, I was out all the time. Think I took about 150 photos!
Well must go, or I will bore you to tears.
Hope to speak with you soon
All my love, and Thank You again.
Carly
…enjoyed every second of my stay…
Hi Libby & John,
Sorry not been in touch since came home but as you can imagin life is always hectic for me!!
Just wanted to say a massive thankyou for making me feel so welcome and making me comfortable in Prague, i can honestly say once the pain had gone away i got out and about in prague and enjoyed every second of my stay.
Libby, why do you want to live in boring England!! Prague is a Beautiful place!!!!! i would swap places with john any time.
Hope you had a nice week off John, and Hope you got to watch Luton play!
I spoke with Splash news and they will be coming to my house in approx 2/3 weeks time to take pictures etc, they was going to come tues just gone but i explained i had to wear the big bra which meant that could not wear any nice tops etc for photos, they understood.
I must admit with all this hot weather the bra gets reallly uncomfortable!!
Anyway take care and thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much for all that you have done for me.

Teresa Cusack cosmetic plastic surgery story
“Latest thing on the market” has been offered in Prague for over 10 years
Hi John and Libby,
I am now home safe and sounds and with my family. I would like to thank you both most sincerely for all the help you have given me along the way. I now have my precious new boobs that I always dreamed of. I am more than happy for you to use the photo’s and hopefully reassure any future clients. In fact I am quite used to publicity now, as you know I appeared in the Sun as well as the Star Newspaper, both features you can add to your website. However both newspapers quoted the wrong price of L2000.00..I wish!!!!
I would not hesitate to recommend your service as it was faultless from start to finish. I don’t know how many times I spoke to Libby prior to my visit, but on each occasion you told me everything in a straightforward and honest manner. No sales pressure no pestering me (unlike some companies I contacted), you simply presented what you offer and left the decision to me.
Your other half John was my mate as well as advisor throughout. He was not pretentious or pompous and we were truly there I felt, as mates. The first call I received every morning was from John, asking me are you alright, and do I need anything or you fancy going shopping? etc. etc. As I was missing family and home he invited me to his flat and cooked a traditional English Breakfast for me, giving up some of his limited supply of English bacon as well as sausages, and thick toasting bread. (none of which can be obtained in the Czech Republic)
Another occasion I recall ( I can laugh about it now) when 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 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) 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 from the “iodine” which was applied to aid healing. This also was the reason for what I thought was a strange smell!!

Or one particular company I considered (not in Czech Republic but abroad), who send you virtually straight home.

Anyway thanks once again, and we look forward to you visiting us when John is back in UK.

Susie C. cosmetic plastic surgery story
Breast enlargement as a Valentines present
Hi, my Name is Susie C. from Nottingham.
I had my breast enlargement procedure with Europa International as a Valentines present from my boyfriend.
Due to the unusual nature of it I became quite famous, appearing in the Sun newspaper as well as the Sport and Sunday Mercury, see press cuttings (on the left and at the bottom of this page).
Here I am 5 days after surgery, with John (although he was not in it as he operated the camera) enjoying afternoon tea in Prague!
Below you can see the before as well as the super after results. However bear in mind these are clinical archive shots, and the after photo’s were taken only 4 days following my surgery. So you will see some bruising as well as some remains of Iodine lotion, and some sticky tape.
The main point I would like to get across to you girls is… do not be focused just on price. Probably you can find cheaper than Europa but there again you are sent straight home to fend for yourself. Believe you me breast implants under the muscle is somewhat painful for a day or two. I had drains in for two days, with around the clock nursing care and the nurses were lovely to me. The surgeon could not have been better, giving me a couple of “pecks on the cheek” and held my hand to reasssure me.
He actually stated just before I went under anaesthtic, “don’t worry I am going to look after you” and he was as true as his word.
I can be contacted via Europa international.

Vanessa Myers cosmetic plastic surgery story
Girls, if you thinking of breast augmentation…
…Europa is the perfect choice!
Dear Libby and John,
Having now arrived home safe and sound with my new boobs! I thought I would l sit down and write to thank you both very much for the excellent and faultless service provided to me whilst I was in Prague. John looked after both myself and Kerrie every step of the way. He was always around for us and I particularly remember on the short journey to the clinic for my operation, he helped ease my anxieties by constantly cracking jokes!!
At the time feeling naturally somewhat edgy, I found I simply had to laugh which set me up nicely for the surgery. He also took us for a few lunches and really looked after us. He even took me to the Hairdressers! He made the appointment, as well as explaining I wanted, and waited for me!!
I am glad I decided to use Europa as your service is great. I know there are many out there who do very little for their money, including sending you more or less straight home. They might be a bit cheaper, but I can assure anyone considering breast augmentation surgery the thought of being sent more or less straight home is horrendous.
Under the muscle breast augmentation is very uncomfortable for two days, and I had the benefit of enjoying round the clock nursing care, as well as access to the surgeon. Plus the fact the drains remain for two days, so I really cannot figure out how some clinics can send a patient home with just an overnight, it would be hell!!
So girls, if you thinking of breast augmentation..Europa is the perfect choice!!
I can be contacted via Europa International.

Sarah Flowers cosmetic plastic surgery story
| Procedure(s) | Breast Augmentation May 2007 |
| FROM | Cheshunt, Herts |
All my life I had been teased about the size of my breasts, over the years I have bought every new invention on the market that swore to improve the size of my breasts and give me a cleavage to die for! From wonder bras to Gel filled bras even those chicken fillet inserts but still every year it was the same, I couldn’t hide the fact that I had nothing to fill my bikinis with when I went on holiday.
I had said for years that if I won the lottery the first thing I would have done is my boobs and had left it as being a pipe dream until about 2 months before my 30th birthday my husband told me that for my birthday I was getting a boob job. I was totally stunned and very dismissive at first thinking it was some big joke until he explained that he had been researching the whole process and that he had found a company called Europa that specialized in breast augmentation in Prague.
After I had come round to the idea I felt I had to go and have a consultation with Libby as I had a lot of questions to answer and I was very apprehensive about going to a strange country to have an operation without any of my family or friends.
Once I had been to see Libby I was totally ready for Prague she had such an understanding about her and made me feel really at ease about the whole process going through the stages and answering all my questions.
I flew out to Prague and John met me at the airport and took me back to the apartment which I was overjoyed with, it was a lovely apartment not far from the clinic and the airport and I was so pleased that I was sharing with a woman called Pam. Pam was also going to the hospital to have her operation the next day so we had a chat about our fears and hopes then swiftly went to bed to be ready for the next day.
It was nothing like what I expected when I arrived at the hospital the next day, unlike our English hospitals this clinic was very clean and modern with a friendly atmosphere I was taken for some tests and then I saw the consultant that was going to do my operation. We discussed and finalized the size of my implants and then I was taken upstairs to get ready for surgery. After the surgery I extremely sore and bandaged up like a mummy so I was totally unaware of how big I had become but I knew instantly that there was a lot more than before and so it must have been worth it.
It took a few days before the pain started to subside and I had the bandages removed so I could see my new breasts and at that point I knew I had done the right thing. The rest of the week seemed to drag as I was so excited about showing off my new assets back home but I’m very thankful to Pam and John for helping me through it and taking me out to see a little bit of Prague.
It has now been 2 months since my operation and my scars although have not gone have settled down quite nicely and I have just come back from a fortnights holiday where I wore with pride my new 34d cup bikinis all I can say is thank you Europa.
