    Dr. Cerna, the Clinic’s senior surgeon, is certified and registered for a plastic surgeon practice in the Czech Republic as well as Austria and Great Britain.
  4. How many plastic and cosmetic surgery operations have been performed at this clinic in Europe?
    A: The number varies, since the demand for individual procedures differs. Thus, the numbers of operations performed is 500-1000 depending on the kind of the procedure.
    For example, in the past five years there have been over a thousand eye-lid surgeries, over 600 liposuctions, approximately 800 breast surgeries etc.
  5. What is the quality guarantee?
    A: Quality is guaranteed by our skilled, professional doctors and their long-time experience in the field of plastic surgery.
    We have Liability insurance for cases of any possible complications.
    In the case of potential corrections, you will naturally receive full care, at the expense of the clinic.
  6. What about the narcosis?
    A: According to the type of operation, we use either general or local anesthesia. The general anesthesia is done exclusively by certified anesthesiologists.
  7. What is the most suitable season for the operation?
    A: All year long, depending on your physical and mental shape.
  8. How can I prepare myself for the operation?
    A: Once the date of your operation is set up, you shall receive exact pre-operative instructions, e.g.:
    • Before getting the narcosis (3 weeks ahead) you must not take any medications containing acetylsalicylate acid, i.e. Aspirin, Aspro etc. These medications decrease the blood sedimentation rate; no alcohol, sleeping pills, pain killers or cigarettes.
    • Liposuction: do not take any pain killers 2 weeks prior to the operation (e.g. Aspirin), also try to stay away from alcohol and sleeping pills.
    • Breast Surgery: it is sensible to undertake a mammography or ultrasound test prior to the operation; for women of the age 30 and older, these tests are obligatory. Slow down on smoking 4 weeks prior to the operation, no pain killers, alcohol or sleeping pills 2 weeks before the date.
    • Facelift: no cigarettes 4 weeks prior to the operation, no pain killers, alcohol or sleeping pills for 2 weeks before the date.
    • Eyelid Surgery: also – no pain killers, alcohol or sleeping pills 2 weeks prior to the operation. We also recommend to stop using make up, have a lot of rest and don’t forget to bring dark sunglasses with you.
    • Ear Surgery: no pain killers 10 days prior to the operation (Aspirin etc.). Get a wide, soft headband that you can wear over your ears after the operation.
    • Nose Surgery: 2 weeks prior to the operation, stop taking pain killers containing acetylsalicylate acid. Stay away from alcohol and sleeping pills. In cases of sensitive mucosa, it is recommended to use a nasal ointment or oil-based nasal drops 2-3 weeks prior to the operation. Chronic infections of nasal region, throat or ears should be cured in time before the operation.
  9. Can I continue taking my usual medication?
    A: Prior to the operation, it is not allowed to take medications that contain acetylsalicylate acid and others that thin blood, i.e. Aspirin, Aspro etc.
  10. Can I take contraception?
    A: We recommend for you to stop taking contraceptive pills 2 months prior to the operation – due to the risk of thrombosis, especially with women over 30.
  11. What is the maximum amount of fat that can be removed?
    A: The maximum amount of fat is 2.5 liters. Nevertheless, the total of the removed liquid is more than 2.5 liters.
  12. What implants are used?
    A: We use implants by company Polytech, Germany which meet our high quality standards. You can choose between round and anatomical ones.
    The anatomical implants have a shape of a drop. Our clients have been highly content with the brands we use.
  13. What is the necessary post-operative care?
    A: The scars need to be massaged several times a day (your doctor shall instruct you) or you can also get lymphatic drainages in cosmetic studios. You need to rest and recover! Treat yourself – have a vacation, rest your soul, drink a lot of water. Water leads the poisonous substances away from your body, thus enabling your cells to regenerate. If possible, stay away from alcohol for 3 months following the operation.
  14. When can I go back to work?
    A:
    • Liposuction: 1 week after
    • Breast Surgery: 7-10 days after
    • Lifting Surgeries: 1-3 weeks after
    • Facial-features Surgeries: 1-2 weeks after
  15. When can I shower again?
    A: According to the doctor’s instructions.
  16. What shall I bring with me?
    A: Only your personal things. We will supply you with elastic wear as well as with medications for the pre-operative phase.
    When coming to undergo the eyelid surgery, we recommend to bring dark sunglasses with you.
    When coming to undergo the ear surgery, bring a wide, soft headband.

Please keep in mind, that peace and calm are the best weapons. Take your time and prepare yourself mentally, too. For if you undertake such an operation in a hurry, being stressed, you slow down the healing process. Your body needs inner peace – your spirit needs to be ready.
