    Tourist Surgery - Neck Lift - Lower Face Approximate Cost $3,500 US asking for a discount due to the dollar. Very Fair Price. I had this surgery done in Czech Republic in a 1368 Monastary, the back building now a hospital Estetique Clinic Dr. Zaruba. The price list was in Euro of $2,900 and he gave almost $1,000 discount. The hospital was so clean. The doctor so caring. The $3,500 cost included all blood work, pre-op physical, photo, 1 nite stay in hospital, surgery and 3 post op visits. You can not beat this in US. The doctor had kind eyes and is very proud of his work. The English was not perfect but no problem with communication. The hospital visit was great, clean comfy rooms, disinfecting lavender mist machines that sprayed in the room to keep in smelling great. Pots of Raspberry Tea, and was served breakfast the next a.m. bread with pate, jam, cheese, yogurt. I am due for another surgery May 21 before I leave the Czech Republic with the same surgeon, and he has offered another discount to me to have my breast reduction done. I am thrilled!! I am 45 years old and now look 32 and the posture problem with my neck arthritis has been a nuissance. Once the breast reduction is done I will probably feel 22. I highly recommend Dr. Zaruba Tel. # 420-224-918-168 email: emauzy@uem.cz physical address: Vysehradska 49 128 00 Praha 2 Emauzy I am a very anxious person and this was a breeze with the comfort of care I was given. My sincere thanks to Dr. Zaruba for everything.
