Questions about cosmetic surgery

Costs & Prices

Why are cosmetic surgeries at Bohemian Beauty so affordable compared to Switzerland or Germany?

Bohemian Beauty’s doctors have lower staff and premises costs compared to their colleagues in Switzerland or Germany. Material costs are identical – the savings come exclusively from reduced operating costs.

Can health insurance cover the surgery costs?

Coverage is only granted in exceptional cases. Health insurers typically only cover breast reductions with a proven medical condition, such as spinal damage.

Is a tax deduction for cosmetic surgery possible?

No. Only costs for treating an illness can be deducted from taxes, not cosmetic procedures.

Medical Qualifications & Safety

Are all Bohemian Beauty doctors board-certified plastic surgeons?

Yes. All doctors are board-certified specialists with extensive experience. In the Czech Republic, the title ‘Plastic Surgeon’ requires certification after five years in trauma and reconstructive surgery plus a successful examination.

Is there malpractice insurance?

Yes.

What hygiene standards apply?

The clinics and operating rooms are subject to the same regulations as in Switzerland. The Perfect Clinic meets the highest Western standards in hygiene and technology.

Is there an intensive care unit?

Yes.

Communication

How can I communicate with the staff and doctors?

The doctors speak English or German; some nurses do as well. Interpreters can be arranged for surgical consultations upon request.

How long is the waiting time for an appointment?

Approximately 3–4 weeks.

Can procedures be combined during one appointment?

Before Surgery

How should I prepare for surgery?

Smokers should significantly reduce nicotine consumption 2–3 weeks before surgery. Aspirin and similar blood-thinning medications should be avoided two weeks before the procedure.

After Surgery

Can I fly after surgery?

Short flights are possible immediately; long-haul flights should be avoided for 2 weeks.

What is the minimum interval between procedures under general anaesthesia?

At least 12 weeks.

Will I receive a sick note?

Your family doctor issues the sick note. Foreign doctors may only issue certificates in emergencies.

When is sunbathing allowed?

Operated areas require at least three months of UV protection.

Does smoking affect healing?

Yes. Smoking constricts blood vessels, reduces oxygen supply and delays tissue healing.

Results & Guarantees

How is a revision claim determined?

A meaningful photo assessment is possible at the earliest four months after surgery. Pre- and post-operative images are evaluated by specialists. Objectively justified corrections receive an appointment.

What is the revision rate and patient satisfaction?

The average revision rate among Bohemian Beauty doctors is approximately 1%, which is considered excellent.

Does the surgery guarantee the result?

Doctors guarantee revisions within 12 months if objectively improvable results are present. A realistic assessment requires four months after the procedure.

Only with parental/guardian consent and approval from both the family doctor and the specialist.

Hair Transplant

Questions about hair transplants

Hair Transplant

What is the basis of the GHO-FM method?

The procedure uses a micro drill (0.60–0.65 mm) to extract follicular units with minimal impact on the donor zone. Part of the tissue remains at the extraction site, enabling partial regrowth – known as donor zone regeneration.

Is the procedure painful?

Patients feel nothing during extraction, preparation and implantation. The only possible discomfort comes from the local anaesthesia, which is minimised by skin cooling and special numbing cream.

What can I do with my new hair?

Avoid mechanical, chemical or sun irritation for the first two weeks. After that, styling is allowed, but hair dyeing should wait 4–6 weeks after transplantation.

Does insurance cover the costs?

No insurance covers this procedure, not even for injury-related hair loss.

Is there an age limit?

No. The patient’s health condition is the determining factor. The youngest patient was under 18 (oncology), the oldest 75 years old.

Do transplanted hairs fall out again?

No. Hair from genetically stable donor zones remains permanently and retains its natural quality for a lifetime.

Can hair be transplanted to other body areas?

Yes. Hair transplantation is possible for beard, eyebrows, eyelashes, arm, chest and pubic hair, as well as temple areas.
