Verified review.
Looking in the mirror two weeks later is still quite jarring. I expected a quicker turnaround, but at 15 days post-op, there is simply too much swelling to tell how my eyes actually look when I smile. My surgeon performed a traditional incision on my upper eyelids, and the cut lines remain very red and obvious against my skin. While the medical staff were generally helpful, the clinic environment itself didn't quite meet the standard I anticipated for the price. Recovery is slow. It is difficult to stay objective when the results are hidden under such heavy inflammation. I would advise others to brace for the fact that the early recovery phase feels much longer than the brochures suggest.
The medical staff were very professional and nice.
The receptionists were not very friendly and were quite rude

Very satisfied, I recommend
I liked everything from the beginning (meeting me at the airport) to my departure. Everything was well thought out, accessible, competent and friendly. The doctor gave me enough time, answered all my questions. The operation was successful. I spent the rest of the day and night in the clinic. The ward was perfect, the care of the medical staff was excellent. Diana the interpreter was my guardian angel. Friendly, competent, responsive to all my requests and wishes. After removing the stitches, the doctor gave all the recommendations for postoperative care. Said that on all arising questions I can contact by video link Very satisfied, I recommend. R.S. I had circular blepharoplasty with Dr Mindaugas Kazavincus.

"The surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks
My stay in the clinic was not long, but the volume of the operation was huge, in my opinion. I felt not bad, like many patients of this clinic, after the operation the next day, after the examination, I was allowed to go home. Everything was fine in the ward clean, sterile where necessary, I have no complaints about this. The clinic itself has a calm and cozy atmosphere. The staff is polite and understanding. And, of course, I would like to mention the surgeon Mindaugas Kazanavičius, who performed the operation and coped brilliantly tasks. Many thanks to him for this!
