From our experience we know that having cosmetic surgery isn´t just an experience associated with hope and happiness but also with fears and prejudices. Our aim is to plane and organize your stay to suit your personal requirements, and of course to act as a contact person before and after the operation. In general, we will inform you about our services and the possibilities of cosmetic surgery procedures in the CZ-Wellmed contracted clinics in CZ. Alongside all this information you will learn exactly what you have to be carefull with before and after the operation. The information alone is of course no substitute to a personal consultation with a Doctor you trust. Qualifications and Standards According to EU-Guidelines CZ-Wellmed Doctors are exclusively qualified specialists in plastic surgery with years of experience and are assisted by suitably qualified and friendly nursing staff. An experienced anaesthetist is present during operations requiring a general anaesthetic. The concessionary CZ-Wellmed contracted clinic is subject to controls and checks by the local health and safety department. These checks include standards of hygiene, the equipment in the operating theatre and the qualifications of the medical staff.

After many years of experience in the consultation of our patients and close contact to the Doctors, we see the central role of our work as the conscientious, discreet and competent consultation and organisation of your plans. In the intensive and personal consultation with a trusted Doctor it will be explained whether the desired changes can be achieved by means of an operation and also whether other solutions are possible. The Doctor will fully explain the operation and treatment methods. Only operations and treatments are recommended that are safe and tested and from which a long-term result can be expected.

If you are travelling alone then you can choose to spend the night before the operation, at a nearby hotel or a guesthouse. If you are being accompanied, your companion can chose to spend the night before the operation in the hotel or guesthouse nearby. Your companion must reside at the hotel or guesthouse during your clinic residence. We can recommend good value, well kept hotels and guesthouses near the clinic and will gladly reserve accomodation in advance for you. We can also offer a pick up service from the airport. For this we require your flight information at least 1 week before your arrival in Prague. (Flight number, Arrival time) Medical Consultation The medical consultation with the Doctor on the day before the reserved operation date is extremely important. This consultation will always be in English for you. The conversation will comprehensively inform you about the operation, the risks and the results that can be expected. Prepare yourself well for this discussion by writing a list beforehand at home of all the questions and points that you wish to discuss with the Doctors so that no important points are forgotten or left unclear.

If you are travelling alone then you should plan a day longer than usual considering the operation and for your stay in our Clinics. Of course our pick up service will transport you from the hotel or clinic to the airport. Post-Operation - Recovery A check up after the operation takes place before your journey homewards. After this check up you will be given the operation report and, in the case of a breast enlargement operation, the implant papers. If required plan to spend a few days after the operation in a nearby hotel to recover. Your Doctor of trust generally does post operation checks back at home as well. You should strictly follow any instructions given to you by the Doctors so as not to put the operation results at risk. Treat yourself to a few days to recover. Some important suggestions concerning behavioural rules after the operation can be found under “At a glance”.
