Arrival - Budapest has only one airport called 'Ferenc Liszt Airport' and patients arrive either at Terminal 1 or 2. A hostess will wait for you at the arrivals area with your name on a board and take you to your taxi. The driver will know your destination and takes you to your accommodation. Airport transfer is complimentary. Most patients arrive in Budapest the evening before surgery and spend the first night in their hotel or apartment. You can have a late dinner but you should not eat or drink anything after midnight.
Surgery day - A driver will pick you up early morning and take you to the clinic. Please remember to bring your passport for administrative purposes. You will be settled into your room and meet your surgeon for your consultation. The surgeon will take you through the procedure, your expectations and answer and queries or questions you may have. The anesthetist will also visit you and discuss your medical questionnaire with you. He will ask you about previous surgeries, medication you may take and medical conditions. You will receive various paperwork that needs to be signed by you:
Information on your surgery Information on anaesthetic procedures Declaration of consent to surgical intervention Agency Agreement Medical Questionnaire
Upon arrival at the clinic you will have your pre op tests, followed by the consultation with your surgeon. After your consultation but before surgery you will be asked to pay for the surgery in full, either by cash or credit card. Once the test results have come through you will be taken into surgery.
Depending upon the surgery, you could spend up to two nights at the clinic. You will be checked regularly by nurses throughout the day and night and your surgeon will check on you daily. Before you are discharged the surgeon will give you a thorough check-up and after you are discharged you will be picked up and taken back to your accommodation. The clinic will provide you with adequate medication (pain relief, antibiotics if necessary and in some cases anti thrombosis medication). You will be taken for several check-ups with your surgeon before you fly back home. For most surgeries absorbable stitches are used and there is no need for stitch removal. For surgeries where non-absorbable stitches are used you will be advised when to visit your GP for stitch removal. A Perfect Contours representative will be on hand throughout your stay in Budapest. During your final check-up the surgeon will give you your discharge papers in English. Depending on the type of surgery you had you might be required to wear compression garments for 4-6 weeks after surgery. It is very important you follow the surgeon's instructions on aftercare once you return home.
On the day of your departure you will be taken to the airport (you should allow a minimum of 2 hours at the airport for check-in, security, etc.)
Your Perfect Contours contact will stay in touch with you after you have returned home.
We look forward to meeting you in Budapest!
