WORTH IT$3,000
I was a 36J. I started to research surgeons and read on realself about Dr. satankova in Prague. I flew on my own from London to Prague. I am 7 days post- op and already delighted and happy with my new breasts. Dr. Satankova said that once the swelling goes own, I will be a c cup. She is a brilliant and beautiful surgeon and I trusted her and the nurses and staff at Iscare completely after all the care and attention I received during my pre-op. The clinic is spotless and the treatment and care are first class. I stayed in the clinic for 2 nights and then 2 nights in a hotel before flying home to the UK. My recovery is so far without any problems and The results speak for themselves! I am 59 years old.

NHS

I must praise the NHS service in England. I called my surgery to ask about changing my dressing and the doctor called me back. He asked a few questions and I told him I had to go overseas for the operation as the NHS wouldn't do it and I couldn't afford the £8,000 it costs to have it done privately. He was really kind and understanding and put in a request for the district nurse to call and see to my dressings, as I hadn't dared to touch them since my discharge from the clinic on the 27th.
The district nurse (male) arrived early this morning and removed my dressings, except around the nipple area. He said the incisions were quite dry and healed nicely. He didn't recommend putting any new dressings on at all - just my surgical bra. He said I could have a shower tomorrow and to just wait until the tape around the nipple falls off by itself, which is what the surgeon said too - at around 10 days.
Since the dressings came off, I've felt a bit more sore around the incisions when I get up to move around. Lying down is comfortable. Still swollen and bruised but think it's all healing up nicely.
The prize is definitely worth all the pain.... No doubt about it. I feel young again!
Just need to get my hair shampooed and blow dried. What a treat that will be!

9 days post-op and So far this has been a smooth and relatively painless ride. I don't use tape or any covering over my incisions and they are healing well. There is some itching in the nipple area and around the incision lines but that's a good sign.
My surgical bra seems to be getting too big now, so next week will probably need to go out and find a bralette.
I am now able to shower daily and yesterday I walked to the grocery
store.
Early evening I lie with my breass uncovered for a couple of hours to let the cool air get to them. A hand held fan would be useful for when they start itching to cool them down... I find this helps a lot.

2 weeks Post-op Infection
annon55February 9, 2016
I thought I was doing really well until I noticed some redness in the vertical incision on my left breast. The doctor immediately put me on antibiotics and I was told to bathe the area with dettol disinfectant.
Hopefully it will clear up. No fever or chills.
It made me realise that it takes several weeks ... Months even begire things settled down.
From now on I will be extra careful with wound care.

Take it easy. Everything will be alright ;-)

Thanks for your concern. You are right... I am staying positive and grateful for the care I am receiving from the clinic. I could never change my own dressings... It's the wound packing I couldn't handle. My first wound ever in 59 years so I guess that makes me lucky.

Iscare were very concerned about my setback and have been in constant touch with me. You will be in good hands. Ask for Rowland the driver to pick you up. He will look after you very well. I paid him for a tour of Prague and it was £15 well spent.
