Took Advantage of Living in Serbia

I am 46 years old and currently living in Serbia, Eastern Europe, with my husband (who is originally from here) and two children.
I have contemplated having a breast reduction for many years. I was a size 16F (Australian).
After some investigation I decided to go ahead and have it done whilst we are living here. Serbia is well known for its high standard of medical care, especially in the field of cosmetic surgery, and cosmetic dentistry. A big appeal for me was the significantly cheaper prices as I do not have private health cover in Australia, but also the fact that I am not currently working and so have had plenty of time for recovery.
I am now five weeks post op and am really pleased with the results. My doctor has done an excellent job and I am healing well so far. My only concern is that I am still a bit bigger than I would have liked. I asked for a c cup and I am still a d, but my doctor says there is still a lot of swelling and I won't be my final size until 6 months post op when they have 'dropped'. Only time will tell and in any case it's still a big improvement.
Although I am pleased with my choice of surgeon, my Serbian hospital experience left a lot to be desired. I had four nights in a private hospital that is undergoing renovation which I wasn't forewarned about. I was sleeping in a makeshift room which was a temporarily converted office. The food was inedible, there was one shared toilet cubicle and no bathroom or shower. However the nursing care was pretty good and the painkillers were plentiful which was really all I cared about at that stage.
The other really frightening thing that happened was that I woke up too early from my surgery while the doctor was still operating. I could hear everything and I could feel him stitching my left nipple, but I couldn't move a muscle to tell anyone. Then they removed my breathing tube and I felt like I couldn't get any air and I really started to panic. Finally after what seemed like forever I managed to convey my distress and they put the oxygen mask back on me.
When I told my surgeon what had happened he smiled and shrugged and apologised and said sometimes that happens, which is pretty much indicative of the Serb way, as if to say, well you're alive so what's the problem? Serbs are pretty tough and resilient people and they don't cope too well with anyone feeling sorry for themselves. Especially after an elective procedure.
So in all I'm glad I've had it done, but there were parts of it that would have been much easier in Australia where I can communicate freely with no language barrier, and the bedside manner of health professionals generally is more to my liking.
If anyone is interested in having cosmetic surgery in Serbia please feel free to ask me your questions and I will help as much as possible.
