Breast Uplift &implants Vera Satankova Bbc Direct - Prague, Czech Republic

Anchor with eurosilicone implants. Am unsure whether the harmonic blade is a gimmic. If anyone has experience would love some advice. Have researched it and it seems it has no evidence to proof quicker post op healing ??

Hi she was really sweet. The nurse who puts in the canular is really good. Here in the uk they can never get my veins n normally try 3 or 4 times and end up putting it in my wrist...ouch! They did it first time i couldnt believe it! The anaethatist was so quick no fannying about like here waiting around!! Your in the room and within minutes theyre saying night night and your gone!

yes really pleased cant wait to get his nasty bra off n get them out!! Fingers crossed will have no probs with healing. Yes they give you i think 7 days worth which start in the clinic i had my last one today. Yes thats right about taxi . ask the clinic when you leave to order you one using AAA cars/taxis they were the most reasonable. Also when you need to go back ask your hotel to order you one from there too as if you usethe hotel taxi itl cost 3x the amount! My friend and I saw Karen the day before at 2pm. Surgery was Thursday am me 11.30 ish , Karen 4 pm ish. we stayed at the Corinthia Towers was lovely Remember button or zip up tops and easy to pull on trousers so your not lifting or pulling up with arms.x x Vera is an amzing surgeon and very easy to talk to. .

I think im seeing Vera on the day of surgery, how come you saw her the day before. Im going on the wed, arrive about 5-30 and im being picked up at 7.10am on Thurs by transport company...cor my stomach flips whenever i think of it all. Do you get a good lasting consultation with her and does she really listen to what you want? is there anything you wished you'd of known before you went out there. I know i cant shower for 10 days....yikes...think ill have to sit in a bath...xx

Oh and do they give you the compression bra...ive bought a tight sports bra but hoping they give a proper medical one, it says so on the itinary that BBC provided. Do you have to wear surgical stocking for any longer after hospital and what about drains...did she put them in for you?.xx

Hi hun no I meant we saw her day before we left for uk for final checks not morning we flew home. U get to clinic @7 ish then have bloods taken to check ur up to surgery etc fill out paperwork. You see Vera around 10ish I think and she discusses all options with you and what your expectations are she then gets out the marker and measures u up! Lol! She very kindly pointed out one of mine was Longer bloody longer nice way to describe my knockers!! She was funny we had a bit of a joke the words spaniel and ears may have been mentioned! Lol! Shes a good listener but also gives her opinion on what is realistic. They give u a surgical bra and band if needed (needed if implants under the muscle) Stockings only inhospital She does drains whilst ur under and mine where taken out the next day by Vera it doesnt hurt at all. I just sit in bath to wash as you said its easier. I would take with you paracetamol for when ur at hotel (non anti inflammatory painkillers) A small suitcase or bag ON WHEELS. Can pull it but wont be able to lift it. Clothes easy to put on not tight jeans u have to pull on... button or zip up tops..oh and dry hair shampoo cos u wont b able to wash your hair!! That was a life saver!! Dont forget it!x

Soz to go on but also remember if u take only small case that goes with u on the plane u cant have liquids or aerosols in it. I had large case in hold so was fine but my friend had to dump all her toiletries including dry shampoo...disaster!! X x

Hey you go on as much as you like i find it so helpfull. Ive bought dry shampoo today..first time ive used that stuff. How did you find the payment process...did you pay in hard cash?..do they give changr?..what about currency..how much do you recon ill need...where did you get yours?.xx

Payment was easy just pay in cash in GBP when you arrive. Extra surgical bras were £40 each. Currency is in czech pounds best to google to see which is best rate in uk before u go. My hubbie did ut there but if ur on your own id get em before so u dont need to worry. Taxi x3 to clinic was spprox 750 czech (250 each) but suppose iy depends where ur hotel is. Ours was corinthia. As I say ask concierge to order your cab through aaa taxis/cars as hotel taxis r a rip off! As far as other money goes I suppose it depends on whats in wuth ur hotel ours had breakfast and all drinks in clubroom and evening snacks included so we only had to buy lunch really. U wont feel like doing anything much as the general anaesthetic really zonks u out. I also packed the ice packs they used in the clinic (by mistake of course!) And I got the hotel to put them in the freezer and bring them to me morning and night to keep down the swelling.You can buy them also from chemist next to clinic.x x x

Thanks luv thats really helpfull. can i just ask a couple more things...travel insurance..did you bother?..and if you have hard cash on you is it safe left in clinic while ur in conultation opp etc...i got my currency today...para ive got a cold comming..:(..xx

Hi hun I get my travel insurance with my bank anyway but I don't know if id bother as its in eu ! Whilst your in clinic u have locker and key next to your bed but to be honest I think even if not it would b safe. I being paranoid n hadnt been in clinic long before operation locked my locker then hid my key! Lol!xx

lol....where did you hide it?...did you get to share a room with your mate?..im hoping there are nice people to help me wiv me bag on the wsy back..im gona pack as light as i can. Cor im dead scared. Do they really all understand u ok?...did you have to sleep sitting up at all?.xx

In a packet of sweets ;-)lol!! Yes we shared a room. U hardly need anything as when ur in clinic just wear their gown. Yes all understood English the language was never a problem. Yes had to sleep really propped up but don't think you'll be as tightly strapped up as ur not having implants are you? First night with implants is quite uncomfortable but another friend of mine says having uplift is not half as painful as implants x x

In a pack of sweets...lol...ill remember that. I'll have to take all my stuff to the clinic as i have to check out of Plaza Alta for the nights that i am there so will take my luggage with me. Do you think ill need one of those 2 pin plug things? whats the food like at the clinic...is it normal food what us Britts are used to or is it cold salami and what not..hehe.xx

Hi hun funny u say about the food I remember ed that last night! The food wasnt a bit of me put it that way! ! My husband went to marks nspencers in the town n bbrought me food! If ur own your own just take some picky bits maybe croissants biscuits etc I couldnt eat the food but my friend did under duress!! No english tea either so take a few bags with u if like me u need it to function in the morning! Yes definately need a 2 pin plug. When do you go? Xx

I fly out on Wed...eeeek!!!...well if its that rank i might lose a few lbs eh..off my boobs and my belly...hehe...what do they serve then?..i might buy some goodies at airport...mind you its only a couple days eh...bet ill be bored out of my head..at least u had company..is WiFi any good in clinic?.xx

Sorry..another question..i bet im driving u mad!!...that harmonic scalple thing..you said Vera doesnt use it anyway..does it get mentioned?..disolvable you paid for yes? did BBC tell you that these extras would be added...i knew nothing until the ittinary was sent out

To be honest the Ga made me soo fuzzy I couldn't concentrate on reading or watching or films etc but I had downloaded loads on the ipad before hsnd which was goodas the internet didnt work . Vera just says she doesnt use the harmonic scalpel so it wasnt discussed. But yes paid extra for the dissolveable stitches. I agree these little things arent made clearby the admin staff so its adviseable when u see Vera before you leave to ask ANY thing you can think of about post op care as the admin notes are basic however Vera is very thoro.And at the end of the day shes the vital one.. x

Thanks hun for the info...such a help really it is...just one more question...does clinic provide towels?...trying to make my case as light as poss.xx

No problem am glad to share my experience x x I don't know but I took a hand towel from hotel. U wont need a bigger towel as cant shower etc so just to dry face xx

Eeeeeeeek.....im waiting at Heathrow for Plane...debating to buy loads of munchies but dont want to put on a ton of weight eating crap..but i can just. imagine sheeps balls on a plate or somthing awfull.....hehe...xx

Aaa huh!!!! So excited for you!!! Are you getting picked up from the airport??? Ill be sending you positive thoughts all day [RS bleep]

Hope i sleep....im feeling surprisingly relaxed so far....and i nipped over to the shop to buy a bottle of diet coke coz im too tight to pay hotel prices...lol..xx

Sweet dreams x

Hi hun so glad to hear your ok. I know I vouldnt even watch tv or read for days afterwards. Youl have a good look at the boobies when you go see Vera this after noon. Shel take off all tapes etc to check theyre healing ok and take pictures shel also show u in the mirror....exciting!! Im fine thanks all tapes etc are off and scars are all healing nicely with no problems. My son is 18 months and it will be a problem for the first week your back lifting in n out of cot im afraid :-( im just over 2 weeks post op and am fine now but if possible I put cot side down n he gets on my back. We do that when coming down the stairs too and I use my leg to lift him on n off the sofa! ! Ul figure ways round it. First few days alone with little ones are scary then u just adapt. Big big hugs am sure theyl be just what u hoped for xx

Hey Julie, glad to hear your healing well....i had a look....i am liking what i see. They have released me with fit to fly etc but its got the wrong date of birth on it...do they ask you to see it at the airport?...im worried now...:(..xx

Hi hun glad all ok x no dont worry no one asked to see mine or karens x x x

What are you having Semmie...ive had both...i can tell you that my unders felt wierd...everytime i squeezed my pecks they felt wierd...but i only had em for a few weeks and then changed to overs...let Vera guide you...there is a georgeous nurse who takes ur bloods...she confesed to me that Vera had done hers..so lovely and natural..she'd had overs!!..youll be fine hun..they are Soooo nice to you..xx

Hi, my skin is really thin and I have stretch marks so they will have to be unders! Overs would just drag them down more! Do implants feel 'real'??

Hi hun am good thanks. My right boob is higher n swollen still at looks like its not dropped into position but Vera sats this is quite normal and not to worry so am trying not to be dis heartened. Am sure its just were i use right arm more. Apart from that the scars etc have healed petferctly u wouldnt thi nk it was only 4 weeks!! Being on ur own with lil ones is scary!my little boy is 18 months climbi g on tbe table up the stairs in the rabbit cage!!lol!! I still try n carry him on my back if possible! Hes sick at the moment and its hard cos hes on me 24/7 poor rabbit doesnt understand mummys got sore boobies!! Hows ur healing process going?r u happy with results? Xx

Hey hun...yea im more than happy...if they stay like this ill be over the moon. Dont know what im doing healing wise i still darent take tape off...it looks a bit black under there...either scabs or stitches!!...it feels ok though appart from under the incisions in places its hard and lumpy..did you have that?..yea i think it takes a while for implants to take their final place..in my case my knees!!!...lol...Have you used the eu support email to contact Vera then?..did you get your post op email..they havent sent anything to me yet. Im glad ur healing well...i managed to get little one out of his cot comando..made him scale it using pillows...hehe...hope i aint teaching him bad habbits.xx

Hiya. Yes contacted tbrougb support email. No i didnt get anything post op for ages so had a scream up and then got it! Mine felt lumpy too and yes it was scabbing not the stitches(i was panicking after reading a blog where a lady had a couple stitches that hadnt dissolved) i took my tape off just after 2 weeks post op in the shower then spray with antiseptic spray and put on clean gauze. Also the black can b the marker pen vera used!! My little ones becoming a right little bugger since i cant grab him as quick!! The price wel pay for fabi (.)(.)!! X x
