My Facelift Took 20 Years off Me - Prague, Czech Republic

4 years on.........

Face has drooped back to where it was! Jowls came back, scars are the same, pleat in front of ear and bald patches the same. Hair never did grow back. It was nice to look so good, pity it lasted so few years. I wish I had gone somewhere else, the surgeon offered revisions but I had lost confidence in him over time when I realised the scars were permanent and awful and I was going to have bald patches in my hair unless I had transplants.

This is a shame and it's terrible you've had this happen. At the least your lift should have lasted 10 years. Have you seen a plastic surgeon where you are for a second opinion?

Had the stitches out this morning and everything is looking so much flatter and quieter. As my surgeon said it will settle, and I can see that now already just within 5 hours.
Also noticed tufts of hair growing back on the bald patch so looks like I won't be needing revision surgery after all. Must have cut it when they made the incision in temple region
Absolutely delighted with results. Worth every penny.

You look lovely--but how did you happen to pick this place, and this doctor, in Prague?
Also, do you have any 'before' photos you can post?
And do you mind if I ask how old you are?
Thanks.

Let me add, though, that I had a facelift performed in Austin TX by a reputable plastic surgeon, and it cost less than yours.
Mine cost about $8,000.00. I was in Austin visiting my father, so the airfare cost didn't enter into it.

Have met with one board certified plastic surgeon in Austin, TX. Your post was only one on real self website that came up with Austin search. Would you be willing to share which physician?

I would Really appreciate your surgeon's name- in Austin. I have had a lift and lids done by one here I am very unhappy with. I need a revision sooner than later by a truly good surgeon. Please reply, I am so unhappy since my surgery. I wish I had my wrinkles and sagging back instead of this disaster. Thank you so much.

Dear CalamityKatie,
Thank you for describing in much detail your experience of surgery in Prague: I am in Prague right now: today I will have stitches removed from my eyelids. I had the same procedures as you did, same routine at the clinic, and bodily responses are the same as you described. Total cost was about $4,800 including overnight stay, etc. My doctor came highly recommended by my friend who is his former (and future) patient.
It has been 2 years since you had your surgery done: please tell me the opinion of your results at this point.
Thank you.

Hello
its been two years plus now so can I ask how your results came out inb te end and if you are happy? Also if you went to Dr Visek-thinking of Prague or Poland at present. I had an expensive but good lift in London 13 years ago by Dr Stanek-a Czech surgeon and he said the training was very good in these places
Thank you

Hi Katie,
I had a facelift in the Philippines 10 years ago which cost me $3000 at that time by Dr Joaquino in Manila and had real bad result. I had to fly back to US 2 weeks after the surgery. When I got back, he won't talk to me on the phone and won't answer my email. Even if he offered to fix the problem, I won't trust anymore.
I had to have it fixed here in US so in the long run it cost me more. You don't have any repercussions if you do it outside the country.
Maybe look for a competent certified plastic surgeon for an opinion.
Good luck!

Stanek tried to fix my nose back in 1987,but didn't do that good of a job,I am glad you are happy with your face lift. I guess he has matured and has loads of experience now.
I paid £1200 back then, :-0
