Lipedema
Lipedema is a chronic and progressive condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of fat cells in the legs and arms, typically in a disproportionate manner relative to the rest of the body. It primarily affects women and is often misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphedema. Lipedema can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected areas, and can also lead to mobility issues and reduced quality of life. Conservative treatment in the form of compression therapy, nutritional advice and manual lymphatic drainage may help slow the progression of the disease. In cases of failed conservative treatment, functional liposuction of the affected areas can provide symptom reduction and improvement in mobility as well as quality of life.


Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is a type of surgical procedure that is performed to repair or rebuild a part of the body that has been damaged, lost, or deformed due to injury, illness, congenital abnormalities, or other medical conditions. The goal of reconstructive surgery is to restore the affected body part to as close to its normal form and function as possible, while also improving the patient’s quality of life.

Laura Corrias2025-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Iakovos Georgiou is the exceptionally professional and compassionate doctor that I have decided to go with for my lipoedema removal surgeries. I didn't consult other doctors but him, because from the first time we connected, he put me totally at ease and I could see how truly interested he is in having his patients recover their well being, not only phisically but 360°, also considering how the disease is impacting mobility, mental health and social life. My feelings regarding his professionalism have been totally met up by his and his team's care, which has been top notch both during my hospitalization and, even more so, after, with frequent requests of feedback of my recovery journey. We have only completed 1/3 of the surgeries that I will undergo with him, and considering the quick and beautiful results I have had, I can't wait for the next 2. Totally recommend him! Steph Twohig2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just had my second Lipoedema removal surgery with Dr. Georgiou, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to trust him with my care. From the very first conversation, it was clear that he deeply understands this condition and is truly dedicated to helping his patients. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand, ensuring you feel informed and reassured every step of the way. Dr. Georgiou has an incredibly calming presence and an amazing ability to ease nerves in the lead-up to surgery. He genuinely understands the physical and emotional struggles that come with Lipoedema and treats his patients with the utmost respect and compassion. Beyond his expertise, he has built an outstanding team around him. The level of care they provide is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced—everyone is genuinely invested in helping, and the standard of care is exceptional. There is never any rush; everything is done at a pace that feels right for you. Dr. Georgiou is always available via WhatsApp or email, both before and after surgery, and continues to check in even weeks later to see how you're doing. He truly cares about the small things so they don’t become big issues. He celebrates the wins with you, no matter how small, and is always there to offer support. The results of my surgeries so far have exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Living with stage 3 Lipoedema, my goal was to reduce pain, improve mobility, and reclaim a better future for myself. Thanks to Dr. Georgiou, my legs have a shape I never thought possible, and the disproportion that defined them is completely is gone. For the first time, I’m looking forward to shopping for my first pair of boots!! Beyond the physical transformation, I am learning to feel comfortable in my own skin and gaining a confidence that was never there before. I am still very much in recovery and in the middle of my journey, but I am seeing the Lipoedema symptoms disappearing one by one. I can even lay on my back without issue now, which is a huge milestone for me. I am looking forward to completing my surgery journey with Dr. Georgiou, knowing I am in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend Dr. Georgiou and his team highly enough. They have truly changed my life. Laura2025-02-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first consulted with Dr Georgio virtually in the Summer of 2024 and scheduled my first lipoedema reduction surgery (front of legs) with him that October. I recently had my second surgery in January 2025. Something that I had noticed about Dr Georgio’s patients’ was a consistency in their feedback and how happy they were with the entire process; and although Cyprus was quite far away compared to other clinics, it became clear to me that it was worth the extra time and effort after meeting with him. Dr Georgio is very easy to talk to and he offers a safe and understanding environment to voice my experience with lipoedema. His empathy and non-judgemental approach was immediately apparent, and he clearly articulated a deep understanding of the disease and his approach to surgery- the perfect combination for a woman experiencing life with lipoedema. I felt a huge burden was lifted after speaking with Dr Georgio and for the first time in a long time I felt hope that I would be able to walk and live everyday life again. In preparation, I received thorough paperwork that clearly explained every aspect which was complemented by Dr Georgiou’s availability for any further questions. His mindful efforts to ensure I was informed and comfortable added to my confidence to take this leap of faith to travel abroad for surgery and put my trust in him to perform this surgery. On surgery day, Dr Georgio’s calming presence was reassuring and he was there very soon after I woke up to tell me how well the surgery went. He thoughtfully texted my husband as soon as I was out to reassure him. It’s little things like that that made going back for my second surgery so easy. His post-op team were great, especially in helping me get past the elements that I was most nervous about such as getting manual lymphatic drainage and then up and about for showering and then putting compression back on. And the ward nurses and doctors were great too. Post surgery, Dr Georgio checked in every few weeks to see how I was getting on. The continuous follow-ups said to me that he genuinely cares about his patient’s results. Not just physically, but our quality of life and happiness are important factors to his own motivation. This is evident in everything he has consistently communicated since that first consultation online. His words and his actions match up. After surgery, I felt instant relief from the symptoms of lipoedema that I experienced. Pain relief and fluid retention issues started to resolve (even in my arms after just getting the fronts of my legs done!). After a short few weeks I was back out power walking again. Before surgery I was plodding to a gate 1km away and then aching with swelling all the way home. I had lost almost my entire active life over the last year before my surgery. I had lost my passions- pilates, the gym, hill walking and I was losing Taekwan-Do. I couldn’t play with my children. When we went to the coast I had to watch my family climbing rocks because I couldn’t trust my legs. When I went upstairs my heart would pound as though I was sprinting. That stopped immediately after surgery. After only a few weeks I would be able to walk long distances, was back in Taekwan-Do and chasing my daughter around the house and fields. I can’t begin to even describe the joy of hearing my youngest screams of delight to have me back physically again. This time last year I was so hopeless, thinking if things didn’t improve I would be looking at a wheelchair. Now I am excited to get back to an active life and excited about the future. Dr Georgio is a highly skilled surgeon that has a unique ability to truly understand lipoedema from a patient’s perspective. He leads with empathy and clear communication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend him. His dedication to his patients’ recovery and his authenticity have truly set the bar high, making my journey swift and seamless. Olga2025-02-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anything i say about Dr. Iacovos will not be enough. Besides being an excellent doctor, above all he is an excellent person. He helped me like no other with the health problem I faced. Thanks to his professional interference and his insistence, we detected cancer at the early stages. We proceeded with mastectomy along with reconstruction. During the procedure he was empathetic and kind like no other doctor. An excellent job was done. My new breasts looks normal and full.You can't tell the difference with normal breasts. Dr. Iakovos is committed to excellence in plastic surgery. After the adventure with my health, he took care of my facial aesthetics. We proceeded with Morpheus 8. The results was unbelievable.My face shone, wrinkles were reduced and the skin became tighter and softer. Thanks to Dr Iacovos I gained my confidence and we prevented the worst case scenario. Since then I feel he is a part of my family. Silk Lili2025-01-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I decided to proceed with surgery, I consulted with several surgeons in person, but I ultimately trusted Dr. Iakovos Georgiou. He left the impression of a doctor who truly listens to what the patient wants, while also gently guiding them toward the most optimal solution if options are available. He is genuinely passionate about his work and driven by a desire to make the world a better place. My case was not an easy one, but the work was done with exceptional precision and care. I am extremely satisfied with the results. The quick recovery was an added bonus. I highly recommend Dr. Georgiou to anyone seeking a skilled surgeon.

Он буквально исполнил мою мечту, я с 15 лет горела желанием иметь красивую небольшую грудь ,но ни один из хирургов не вызвал такого безоговорочного доверия как доктор Георгиу. Он и его команда - Истинные Профессионалы. Без преувеличения. Сейчас, спустя месяц после операции по уменьшению груди, я точно могу сказать- моя грудь никогда не выглядела столь привлекательно , как сейчас. Без имплантации, только благодаря уменьшению с седьмого до третьего размера и подтяжке. Хочу выразить огромную благодарность всей команде доктора Георгиу и сотрудникам German medical institute за щепетильность при планировании операции, помощь в подготовке и прохождении обследования, пунктуальность и послеоперационный уход. Если пластический хирург - то только доктор Георгиу. Спасибо!
