Vladislav • Rhinoplasty (nose job)

Ukraine
May 2, 2026
Verified review.
The surgeon really did take my wishes on board. I had open rhinoplasty to remove a small bump, and even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before. Of course, recovery is a process. It’s still very early days, and I can see that one side of the bridge of my nose is uneven due to swelling, which is a bit worrying. The staff were generally helpful, although there were occasional minor delays in communication. My main advice to anyone preparing for surgery is to be patient during the recovery period and remember that the final result takes time.

It was my second surgery could truly, and I didn't. know if it fixes the functional issues from my first. I’m glad I went forward. The surgeon used a rib cartilage graft to correct my breathing problems, and my nasal bridge already has a straighter profile. The team and clinic were solid. That said, the recovery is not easy. My nose tip is still very swollen, and the constant mouth breathing has been my biggest challenge so far. The one thing I wish I had really understood beforehand is just how much longer and more painful the healing process can be for a revision. It's a serious commitment.
I'm sooo happy with the results!!!

My biggest fear was that the nasal deviation, which was my main issue after the first surgery, would not be corrected. This was the primary source of my stress. But now, on the 15th day, I can see that the nasal bridge has a much straighter profile. Of course, there is still swelling, and this is only the beginning of the journey, but the initial result makes me very happy. The entire staff, from coordinators to the surgeon, was very attentive and professional. They calmly answered all my questions, which was important for me as a patient undergoing a second surgery. I am grateful for the care.
I liked everything, everything is great

The one thing I was most worried about was the pain after surgery, but the reality has been manageable. My biggest challenge at 15 days post-op is actually the extent of the bruising. It's significant. Everything with the clinic, surgeon, and staff was solid, and I gave them all a 5/5 rating. Right now, my thighs feel slightly stiff when I'm walking, and it's still far too swollen to see the final results after having 1-2 liters removed. You have to be patient. For anyone considering this, my best advice is to stay positive and keep walking as much as you can.
The doctors and staff were amazing. They constantly checked up on me especially the two younger guys who were translating. The nurses were very attentive and my doctor was very positive and informative.

Julia Lider • Otoplasty (ear surgery)

The most I worried about was how everything would go in another country and whether I could communicate with the doctor. But these concerns quickly disappeared. I appreciated how promptly Bookimed responded, and the doctor explained everything very patiently and clearly, answering all my questions. The transfer was organized flawlessly, which was very helpful. It is now the 15th day of recovery, and I feel no discomfort. Thank you.

Jessica • Gastroscopy

Bookimed helped me identify appropriate hospitals and doctors for a gastroscopy and endoscopy, as per my referral. I felt supported the whole way through the process and the price that I paid on the day was true to the agreed upon quote. The doctor was attentive and my English-speaking consultant was fantastic. My main goal was achieved: I received a clear diagnosis. My only issue was that the written report containing the results did not include a treatment plan which meant that I had to try to remember the details given to me post procedure when I was still drowsy from the sedation. I would highly recommend Bookimed to my friends and family.
Booking through Bookimed meant that I was supported all the way through the process. They helped me obtain multiple referrals, book the consultation and procedure, and the quote was true to what I paid on the day.
It took me a few weeks to receive an English copy of my results and my treatment plan post procedure was unclear and not in writing (not included in the reports). This meant I had to try to remember what was discussed post procedure while I was still recovering from drowsiness post sedation.

My biggest worry going into this was the recovery process itself. While it's still too early to judge the final chest contour, the progress is clear. The most difficult part has been the sleeping position limits, which is a genuine challenge. But even with the swelling, I already feel confident in fitted shirts. The fit is great. The surgeon and all the staff were professional and attentive, which provided a lot of comfort. The whole process was handled very well, from the initial contact to the post-op care.
Professionalism, great staff, nice hotel

Paula Savage • Vaser liposuction

If you're considering Vaser, you should know that recovery isn't a walk in the park. I'm 15 days out from my procedure on multiple areas, and while I can already see a definite improvement in my shape, the process requires patience. The surgeon's work was fantastic, earning a solid 5/5, and the clinic was clean and well-equipped. The staff were mostly helpful. My biggest daily challenge is the compression garment; my skin gets itchy under it, which is a constant annoyance. It’s a trade-off. Be prepared for the discomfort, but also for the visible changes that make it feel worthwhile even this early on.
Doctor communication

If you’re considering rhinoplasty, I’d say the most important thing is to find the right surgeon. My doctor really understood what I wanted and did everything exactly as we’d discussed. It’s only been 15 days, but I can already see the results: the slight bump has been removed and the bridge of my nose looks straighter, just as I’d hoped. The tip looks natural too. The clinic is excellent; everything is clean and modern. The medical staff were generally attentive, although communication could have been clearer at times. Of course, there is still some swelling. But I’m pleased with what I can see at this early stage.
I was very pleased with the doctor – he is attentive and professional. I had asked for a natural-looking result, and the doctor fully met my expectations. After the operation, he checked in on how I was getting on, and once the cast was removed, he gave me detailed advice on my recovery. A particular plus is that the doctor is not just a plastic surgeon, but also an ENT specialist. For me, it was important not only to improve my appearance, but also to resolve breathing issues — and this was also successfully achieved. I’d also like to mention the interpreter, Olga: she was a great help, provided detailed information on all matters, was there for me at every stage, and always responded promptly.
There were some minor discrepancies between the information provided by the manager and the actual conditions of my stay – particularly before and after the operation. On a few occasions, I also had to approach the staff myself (for example, to ask for ice or to have my drip changed). I realise that this may be due to the clinic being very busy: there really are a lot of patients, and the staff do their best to give everyone their attention.

My biggest worry was navigating the process in another country, but the coordination was seamless. From my first contact with Bookimed to meeting the surgeon, every step was clear. My surgery was not able to take place, due to my pre op checks discovering a heart issue. What i can say is the care was consistent. The surgeon was thorough, the staff were professional, and the clinic environment was very clean and calming, which really helped. I was very impressed and will return for my procedure when i am able.
Unfortunately my surgery was not able to take place. This was due to Pre Op checks which i am very grateful for. I will be returning when able to complete my surgery as i was very impressed by the whole process.
