It’s important to understand that cosmetic surgery can enhance your appearance and self confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently.
The suitability for cosmetic surgery is assessed by our Prague plastic surgeons according to your Medical Questionnaire and also during your pre-opertive tests with our GP.
