If in the future if I feel I need any other surgery or can recommend a surgeon, I will most definitely be saying Saulius Vikšraitis and Dusty’s house to stay at and convalesce. The atmosphere was so great; it was almost as if I was on holiday. In May 2008, after Months of searching the web and reading every article and blog on plastic surgeon sites, I decided on a surgeon in Kaunas Lithuania. At 44 years old I didn’t like the tell tale signs of aging. I was never blessed with breasts, so I decided I would do something about it. I flew to Lithuania after having a video consultation with the surgeon. I was collected from the airport as pre-arranged and taken to a house which would become “home” for the next fortnight. I had my own room with a TV and DVD and was told to use the kitchen and use the house freely. The following day was my “big day”. I was taken by car to the hospital where I was greeted by the receptionist in her immaculately dressed orange suit. And asked to go straight through to see Saulius Vikšraitis , the surgeon. We spent a long time discussing what I wanted, and he showed me pictures of breast augmentation of various previous patients. After I had decided on what expectations I had and he and myself had agreed what was best for me as an individual, he started to mark my eyes – which due to excessive late nights and smoking had becoming puffy and saggy. He held temples of my face and pulled them back; giving me the look I had lost 10 years ago. The surgery went smoothly and strange to say – I was so relaxed and knew I had nothing to worry about, as the aura of this doctor and the hospital atmosphere made me 100% sure I had made the correct decision to choose this surgeon. The hospital was so clean and modern and made the private hospitals in the UK look dated and on hygienic. I was given burgundy pajamas and dressing gown and shown into my own private room where I changed ready to be taken by the nurse, to the theatre. The theatre was state of the Uk and so clean I was wondered if it had ever been used. The anesthetist came in and spoke perfect English and gave me a tablet to relax me – even though I was totally relaxed. I remember climbing onto the operating bed and having a feeling of total tranquility. I woke up a few hours later in my private room where a nurse was ready and waiting to make sure I was comfortable and ok. At first I was wondered when the operation was going to happen, but soon realized I was bandaged up award my head and had a tight support bra on, so obviously it was all done. Next to the bed was a card with useful phrases like, “I’m in pain”, “I am thirsty” etc. but most of the nurses spoke or understood English. The food was brought in from a restaurant that you choose from a menu each morning, basically, the whole three days I was in the hospital was extremely blissful. I was collected when Saulius felt I was ready to leave as prearranged. I was taken back to Dusty’s house where I met others who were convalescing after their various surgeries they had had by Saulius. The atmosphere was so great; it was almost as if I was on holiday. Every two/three days we had return to the hospital where Saulius checked our progress and changed dressings in person – and each time we were chauffeured to and from the house to the hospital and even managed to get in some Lithuanian in some therapy shopping (using large sunglasses!) By the beginning of the second week I had decided to mention my excess skin on my stomach after having two children a few years before. Saulius said he could solve that problem – so back I went exactly a week after my mid face lift and eye surgery to remove my stretched and loose skin. Again the experience was fantastic and the ladies, whom I now had become friends with, were brought up to visit me. I stayed in hospital two nights then was brought back to Dusty’s house and my “room”. On each appointment for check-ups the hospital – Saulius saw me in person – not a different doctor - as in the UK. His demeanor was as calm and professional as I could have wished for. When it was time for me to return to England, I felt sad to be leaving Dusty’s house and the seventy I had become accustomed to, over the last fortnight it was an experience I knew I would return to when I felt I need any other surgery. After returning to England and the healing process had been completed,I received emails from Dusty about my well being and emails from Saulius to check on my progress. Exactly a year later, I found myself being collected from Kaunas airport by Dusty and being driven once again to the house which was “home” to me last year for the surgery I had arranged to “up-lift” my breasts. Once again, the surgery was carried by Saulius and my stay at Dusty’s was a pleasurable one. If in the future if I feel I need any other surgery or can recommend a surgeon, I will most definitely be saying Saulius Vikšraitis and Dusty’s house to stay at and convalesce.
