Insurance / European Health Card

When coming to our clinics, it is important that you have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and/or at least your NHS number. The card is free and easy to obtain via the NHS website and your NHS number can be obtained via your doctor.This enables you free access to medical care,should a problem arise during or after your surgery. Without it you may not get free emergency care, in which case you would need to pay for your medical costs on top of your surgery cost. Please remember your EHIC card is not an alternative to travel insurance, you should still purchase travel insurance to cover you against any other issues that may arise.

Medical Advice

Please be aware of the fact that you should be 100% healthy to undergo your surgery. Our clinic is not equipped to operate on clients with diabetes and HIV positive patients, such are declined to have surgery with us. 

The usual contraindications are: high blood pressure, anemia, oral thrush, cough, cold and cold sores. Please check with your GP to make sure you are not suffering from any of the mentioned above. 

You should be without infection 3 weeks before the surgery and not take antibiotics nor pharmaceuticals containing acetylsalicylic acid (Acylpirin, Aspirin, and Anopyrin etc.) 3 weeks prior to the surgery. 

‍Avoid nicotine in all its “modalities’ of delivery 6 weeks prior to surgery and 4 weeks post-op. It is a powerful constrictor of blood vessels, decreasing blood flow to the “flaps” used during these procedures. This decreased blood flow could potentially lead to wound healing problems and/or tissue necrosis. Best advice: avoid nicotine completely or postpone surgery. 

If you use contraceptive pills, it is necessary to stop taking those 3 weeks before the surgery as there is a risk of embolism.You must not have a period on the day of your surgery. 

It is also advised to take some Iron supplements prior to the surgery to make sure you are not anaemic. This problem happens especially for our female clients in case they have had a period recently or if they do not eat well and are on restricted diet.

If you smoke, are being treated for Asthma or you are older than 45 years of age, our GP might suggest a standard X-ray of the heart and lungs.

Minimum Stay in Slovenia

Based on your photos, medical questionnaire and extent of your surgery our medical staff will advise you on the minimum stay in Slovenia. In your cosmetic surgery package,you will receive information from your plastic surgeon, what is the minimum stay for your procedure. It is based on the time in which most of the complication scan happen. During this time, we provide you regular check-ups with a plastic surgeon (every 2-3 days or based on healing) to make sure your recovery is normal and you can return back home safely.

Leaving early

We take your health very seriously and expect you to stay in Slovenia for the correct recovery time. If you leave Slovenia against your surgeon's advice, then you will be asked to sign a legal document, taking a full responsibility for your recovery and the outcome of your surgery. In signing this document, you will forfeit any rights to free corrective surgery,in case any problems happen.
