Once upon a time the idea of flying to Poland for medical surgery would have conjured up nightmares of a one-eyed maniac stinking of vodka amputating your right leg... after you complained of an ingrowing toenail. But in today's open European climate tourists are no longer afraid of the great unknown that is Eastern Europe, and are discovering that they can in fact access highly professional medical services for a fraction of the cost that they could in Britain, Germany or Scandinavia for example.
The rise in medical tourism in Poland can be pinned on several factors, such as Poland's accession to the EU, increased awareness of Poland as a tourist destination, the increasing number of budget airlines flying to Polish cities - from Britain in particular - and the disparity in cost between dental and cosmetic surgery in Poland and more economically-developed countries. All of the above mean that many Europeans can fly to Poland, enjoy several days away in a stunning city like Wroclaw or Krakow and, even after they've paid for their surgery, still make a saving! With Polish surgeons and doctors enjoying an excellent international reputation, it's no wonder that so many people are opting for cosmetic surgery in Poland. 
Of course there are many arguments for and against cosmetic surgery, with some claiming that the dangers of undergoing unnecessary operations (which even in the hands of the most professional surgeons can never be 100% guaranteed to go smoothly) simply for the sake of vanity are not worth the risks.
However there is an increasingly prevalent school of thought that argues that plastic and cosmetic surgery (or 'aesthetic surgery' as it is now often referred to) can seriously help in alleviating the emotional distress and raise the quality of life of those people who are unhappy with their appearance. Needless to say that plastic, cosmetic and dental surgery also can play a vital role in restoring the quality of life to victims of accidents and serious health defects.
If you are thinking about going under the knife in Poland for crucial corrective surgery (...such as breast enhancement) then do your research and be sure to find a professional clinic. Below is the beginning of a list of companies offering cosmetic surgery where you might want to begin your search.

I stayed in Poland for 10 days which is the minimum really as my final stitches were taken out the day before my return
home. I had the surgery and every day after was taken to the clinic by Agnieszka Poprawska (who was fantastic and acted as a guide and carer for my visit) where the doctor who performed the surgery checked the healing.
I stayed in a nice apartment which was in the pedestrianised part of the city
centre (Market Square) and was recommended and booked by Agnieszka.
I dont know if the doctor belonged to any cosmetic surgery organisation but he certainly proved to satisfy my faith in him. The clinic was a fantastic experience too as they made me feel like I was very important and their number one patient. The service from EuroMediTravel was more than
anyone could expect and they made me feel like I was their only patient!
When I returned home the scars were still red and visable but if you follow their advise and use the treatments
recommended the scars should settle down within a few weeks.
I am very happy with the result!

in the end i decided not to.
my girlfriend went later to get her tits bigger.
he did not have any samples to show her or do the stuff one would expect such as put silicone in the bra. well he did have one size but it was not the correct size.
however he did say he is rather busy and we could see there was a queue of people, he would go in and out of the operating theatre then come back and chat to some clients.
he suggested she comes and pays the money and he will open her up and have some of the correct silicone ready and i would tell him which size fits best .
we became afraid of his speed and inability to show us the correct size.
