If a friend asked me where to go for deep plane facelift 'd tell them about this clinic without hesitation
If a friend asked me where to go for deep plane facelift 'd tell them about this clinic without hesitation. The process from start to finish was handled with such professionalism. I am still in the early stages of healing, so I am following all the aftercare instructions carefully. The surgeon was thorough, and the entire staff made me feel comfortable and well-cared-for throughout my visit. The facility was also very clean and modern. I am thankful for the support I received from the whole team.
Plenty of communication. One to one english speaking team member. Very attentive staff members who were dealing with me. Surgeon very professional and easy to understand. My bookimed contact Olha was great
Directions to clinic for those who do not use google maps. Taxi do not pick up due to short distance.
