I have written a review because I am grateful to the Forme team but also because reading other peoples experiences of Blepharoplasty has been helpful to me. A number of factors led me to access treatment abroad and not just the difference in cost which is significant. Having had two consultations in UK I felt that there was a reluctance to treat me because I have graves disease – which I did not find encouraging. Around the time I was first considering Blepharoplasty I can remember stepping into a mirrored lift on the way to a meeting and feeling shocked by my appearance. In the space of a couple of years my eyes aged at least 10. How much the graves disease contributed to the eyebags I don’t know but I looked beaten up and like I had a permanent black eye.
I delayed access treatment for another year to ensure there were no developments with my eyes and now I am very pleased with my decision to choose Forme Clinic. If I was to complete a cost benefit analysis I would say that the excuse to travel alone to Prague was a huge bonus. It is the most amazing place and I didn’t experience any anxiety up until just before the surgery because I was positively distracted by the environment.
The clinic is very efficient, providing for me a unique medical experience with no delay or faffing around. The staff gave me half a tablet prior to the surgery which did concern me because I realised that I would be fully aware throughout the procedure. Dr Vasek said that sedation was unnecessary and on reflection I would agree with him. When the local anaesthetic was injected I felt my eyes become numb and heavy as they closed. They stayed closed throughout the procedure. I could only see the bright light through my eye lids and feelings of pressure but no pain. It felt as though someone was tugging on my eyelashes. I can remember being surprised by how quickly the first lid was done and not feeling worried about the other three because it was OK. All four lids took less than an hour. After the treatment I was glad that I had not been sedated as I was alert enough to go out and see more of Prague.

I’ve just returned from Prague whereby I’ve just undergone upper blephraplasty treatment with Dr. Vasek. It’s day 5 post op and I wasn’t prepared for how badly bruised I am and how long I’m taking to heal. Having seen and read so many positive comments about Dr. Vasek and the Forme clinic, I was very confident about it being a straight forward procedure. Sadly for me, I have bruised under my eyes like I’ve been hit with a baseball bat. Both eyes still swollen and uneven, which I did expect to a degree, but my eyes feel tight and not my own anymore. I have no feeling in my eyelids as they are numb. The insides of my eyes look rather wonky and I wonder if when I take the stitches out, it may even them up. However, as it stands, they’re not looking great, they’re asymmetrical and look horrendous. I know I must be patient, but nobody seems to be mentioneing anything like my experience and wanted to be reassured that they will settle. I had only booked two weeks off work, but I cannot see me being able to go back in to work a week today as the bruising will not have gone. Also, they’re so obviously different sizes at the moment, I’m embarrassed to be seen. I’m orating that it’s just me being impatient, but I cant see past what they look like now and it’s making me feel heat regret for having it done. Did you experience any of these feelings? Everyone seemed to have no obvious signs of having he surgery after a week - there is no way I could even step out without glasses for at least another 10 days.
