Face Lift & Upper Eyelids - Prague, Czech Republic

5 Years after surgery
WORTH IT$4,800
Well, time marches on and unfortunately the face changes for worse. My cheeks dropped down again, however there is no loose skin or new wrinkles. I still consider my surgery a great success, but it is time to go to my doctor for corrective measures.

Well, almost 2 years passed since my surgery. I still am thrilled with the results, and consider it the best investment of funds into my looks. There was no reversal of any surgery effects, just the normal further aging.

It looks better yet, one year later! Thanks for posting. Do you know if anyone else has gone to Prague to your doctor?
March 25, 2013
None of my friends did.
When I finally find time to go, I will go with my husband to have a neck lift for his neck.

I am sorry, I did not check this website for ages. This website would not let me to post my doctor's phone number, they would erase it as they did your email. But you can find him online through the name of his clinic: Perfect Clinic.

you had a facelift with only local anaesthetic?
April 20, 2013
Yes, local. I was communicating with doctor during the operation. I remember him asking me to turn my head to let him work on the other side of the face.

Hi, you look amazing!! I think it must have been intravenous sedation the doctor used as anaesthetic. It is great you remember a part of the surgery, I do not know anyone who does :)

Dear Anna, I did not check this site for years and missed your comment. Dr. Pros's clinic is called Perfect Clinic, you will easily find it online.

It will soon be 4 months pos-op, and so far so good. Scars are still very visible pink. I was advised plasma injections to make them pale, but I did not have this procedure done yet.
I found a picture taken by my nurse on the day of surgery resting in my room, here it is.

Thank you for your detailed report on your recovery. You look beautiful. I am 3 days out and am concerned with swelling and tightness but seeing your photos at 4 days with some swelling and the big improvement at day 8 gives me hope.
January 9, 2012
My condition on day 4 was scary not only with swelling, but also with a huge bruise on my lower neck. I actually panicked and ran to my doctor (clinic was just across the street from my hotel). He reassured me that the amount of swelling and bruising was normal and that the condition will be improving gradually. Everything he ever told me was true.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. Was there any concern about flying so soon after surgery (assuming you returned to the states within two wks post-op)? My concern would be about developing DVTs...

Well, I do not know what DVT is. While planning my trip I got a few different doctor's opinions on how soon after facelift one should travel by plane. Answers ranged from one week to 10 days minimum. I was flying on the 7th day after surgery. Flight itself did not bother me a bit, I slept all the way. However, all the airport procedures required long periods of standing in lines. This became very tough: I was sweating, dizzy, etc. I advise anybody flying that soon after surgery not to stand in lines, but to request a wheelchair and sit instead.

Reading the comments was so helpful. I live in San Diego and am starting my search for a surgeon who does excellent facelifts. I wouldn't mind going to Prague, but it would be nice to go with someone else who is also getting cosmetic surgery. Is anyone at that point? Don't know how to get in touch with me except on this forum. Nancy

I personally am not planning this year. 3 of my girlfriends are planning, but I do not know how soon. If any of them are thinking of going this year I will let you know.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. I think it would be so much better if there were others who shared the same goals.
