Caroline R. (UK) – Lens Replacement surgery review

„I undertook a trip to Beauty In Prague with a friend who was having a couple of treatments and I was booked for a neck lift and replacement lens op.

Communication prior to our visit was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble- promt replies to all of our queries too! we had one blip in that, as nurses, we undertook our own covid PCR test (obviously! there is none better!) which was not accepted by RyanAir hence we had to return home- BIP rearranged us for a month later….no mean feat considering x4 different treatments had to be organised!!

We have no issues about travelling abroad for treatments as we research thoroughly prior to our choices and couldn’t fault the surgeons we were heading out to see. As expected, treatment was phenomenal, care was fabulous and support was exceptional. I had both my procedures under local anaesthetic…much safer and faster recovery time….. no pain whatsoever and never used the prn meds for sleep or pain, at the time reassurance given ++ (not that it was needed- I was far too excited to be anxious!!) We had booked an apartment which was perfectly placed and we were able to take advantage of massive parks both ends of our street…. beautiful and well worth the time spent there. We were in Prague for 12 nights during lockdown hence really appreciated the parks….and Netflix!!!

Recovery was amazing ….I literally had 20 20 vision after I had removed my (less than appealing) goggles… the bonus being that the procedure was undertaken in the afternoon and the goggles came off the next morning so simply had to wear them overnight. My neck lift was equally as amazing and all surgery sites have healed very well and have to be searched for as not visible at all. Nerve feeling in my face around my ear area is gradually returning and the halo effect at night from eye surgery, although apparent, I understand can take a year to recede – even if it doesn’t it’s an acceptable trade off for being able to administer injections to patients without specs steaming up (most frustrating and unavoidable in these times of masks!!), reading any book I pick up …even the tiniest of print, trips to supermarkets, being able to read from TV, oh I could go on for ever!! but anyone is welcome to discuss more with me if you have any doubts!! 10 mins per eye??!! come on!! how can you not get this done?! (plus even with my NHS discount this op would be 6k here in Old Blighty against £2,800 …..its a no brainer!!)

My neck lift has given me confidence and a spring to my step- just the boost I needed after this awful year where I think its accepted that all us nurses are feeling jaded and burnt out!!

Please feel free to ask BIP to put you in touch with me if there is anything you would like to know- not to mention Prague is a beautiful country full of lovely people and I will return for a holiday in the future. Thanks so much BIP xxx“
