A beautiful clinic in the mountains of Zagreb, not far from
the centre of town.
Conveyor belt cosmetic
surgery abroad is not an
option here.
All patients
receive a very personal
service from the surgeon
and the two nurses who
have worked for him for over 20 years - speaks
volumes!

Linda Briggs first met
the surgeon in 2001 when he
arranged for her to meet
20 of his patients,
some of whom drove 60km to
meet Linda for 5 minutes
and tell her how wonderful
their surgeon is.
He
was not allowed to open a
private clinic in
1987 under the communist
government, but he did
anyway. The
political atmosphere is no
longer restrictive and
the surgeon is allowed to work freely
and carry on the work he
obviously enjoys. He
carries out most cosmetic
procedures, but his
speciality is rhinoplasty
and all other nose
reshaping. He works to
very small refinements and had
performed over 2,500
rhinoplasties up to that
time.
His hobby is painting
pictures and this gives
him an eye for fine
detail.

One of his many
recommendations comes from
a patient who is a member
of the German Royal
family
|
|
It is recommended that
patients stay in Croatia
until after the removal of
any stitches and the
surgeon agrees that the
patient can fly home. Variations to these
arrangements can be made
with the agreement of the
surgeon.

There are many cosmetic surgery clinics in Zagreb that measure up to international
standards, and many have been receiving medical tourists
for several years. Featuring English-speaking staff and offering an excellent
aftercare service, the local hospitals and clinics are amongst the best in
Europe.
Advantages of Zagreb for Cosmetic surgery
One of the factors that makes
cosmetic surgery so popular in Zagreb is that while costs are low, standards
remain extremely high, and a wide range of cutting-edge treatments and
procedures are performed here using state-of-the-art equipment. What's more,
Zagreb is well connected to the rest of Europe by air, sea and land.
This
modern city is the perfect place to unwind, as there are a large number of
world-class hotels here, as well as excellent restaurants and great
shopping. The Cultural will also be in their element here, as there are
plenty of theatres and museums located in the city.
Those who are
recovering from cosmetic surgery procedures can spend time walking and hiking in Nature Park
Medvednica, which is just a short drive away. The Adriatic coast is also located
within easy driving distance, where there are numerous stretches of sand on
which to soak up the sun.
Cosmetic surgery procedures in

Zagreb, the Dentist has a reputation for excellence and is a
