Information

As with any other surgery, you will need to undergo preoperative evaluation before your plastic surgery procedure.

You will receive all the information about preoperative evaluation at the initial consultation. Your general practitioner may carry out the tests, but the results should be no more than 14 days old before your scheduled surgery date. It is possible to have this evaluation done at the Riva Clinic.

What happens during the operation?

Every surgical procedure has its risks. Aesthetic surgery is no different.
Possible complications may include bleeding, infection, healing problems, or deformation of the treated area (e.g. abdomen or breasts). In order to achieve optimal results, each patient will be instructed about their postoperative regime before they are released. The length of hospital stay depends on the procedure performed, but on the average it is about 1 to 2 days. After surgeries like abdominoplasty, breast augmentation or liposuction, the patient may feel discomfort. It is necessary to wear special compression underwear for some time after these kinds of surgeries. For plastic surgery, cooler weather is better. It is recommended that these procedures be performed in spring, autumn or winter, but this is only a recommendation.

Prof. MUDr. Brychta’s Opinion on This Subject:

“On the other hand we have to consider that plastic and aesthetic surgery is most popular in southern regions (Brazil, California, Florida, Mexico, Caribbean, etc.). In these lands even the coldest season is warmer than summers in the Czech Republic. Therefore, the decrease in demand for plastic surgery during the summer in Europe may not be related to the fact that plastic surgery is not recommended in the summer months.”
