Λιποίδημα
Το λιποίδημα είναι μια χρόνια και προοδευτική πάθηση που χαρακτηρίζεται από την υπερβολική συσσώρευση λιποκυττάρων στα πόδια και τα χέρια, συνήθως με δυσανάλογο τρόπο σε σχέση με το υπόλοιπο σώμα. Προσβάλλει κυρίως τις γυναίκες και συχνά διαγιγνώσκεται λανθασμένα ως παχυσαρκία ή λεμφοίδημα. Το λιποίδημα μπορεί να προκαλέσει πόνο, οίδημα και ευαισθησία στις πληγείσες περιοχές και μπορεί επίσης να οδηγήσει σε προβλήματα κινητικότητας και μειωμένη ποιότητα ζωής. Η συντηρητική θεραπεία με τη μορφή συμπιεστικών ενδυμάτων, διατροφικών συμβουλών και χειροκίνητη λεμφική παροχέτευση μπορεί να βοηθήσει στην επιβράδυνση της εξέλιξης της νόσου. Σε περιπτώσεις αποτυχίας της συντηρητικής θεραπείας η λειτουργική λιποαναρρόφηση των προσβεβλημένων περιοχών μπορεί να προσφέρει μείωση των συμπτωμάτων και βελτίωση της κινητικότητας καθώς και της ποιότητας ζωής.


Επανορθωτική Χειρουργική
Η επανορθωτική χειρουργική είναι ένας τύπος χειρουργικής επέμβασης που εκτελείται για την επιδιόρθωση ή την αποκατάσταση ενός μέρους του σώματος που έχει καταστραφεί, χαθεί ή παραμορφωθεί λόγω τραυματισμού, ασθένειας, συγγενών ανωμαλιών ή άλλων ιατρικών καταστάσεων. Ο στόχος της επανορθωτικής χειρουργικής είναι να αποκαταστήσει το προσβεβλημένο μέρος του σώματος όσο το δυνατόν πιο κοντά στην κανονική του μορφή και λειτουργία, βελτιώνοντας παράλληλα την ποιότητα ζωής του ασθενούς.

Michelle Johnson2024-08-01 Great doctor, amazing service, well priced, would highly recommend. My results are fantastic and definitely going back for more. Aileen2024-07-02 Dr. Georgiou and his team’s support is far superior than anything I’ve experienced. From the first email, you can tell he cares not only about his patients but helping women with lipoedema. I am 6 weeks post my first surgery and still getting messages to see how I’m getting on! That level of care is also given by the hospital and staff at GMI, who could not be more helpful and caring. I am in awe of my legs and continue to see massive improvements daily, not just with my legs but my overall quality of life. After 20 years of struggling and not having answers, I finally have hope and can’t wait to complete the rest of my surgeries. Pamela2024-06-30 It is no understatement to say that Dr Iakovos Georgiou has saved my sanity, my mobility and my life. Lipoedema is an evil, destructive, mobility-robbing & horizon-shrinking disease which is neglected & mostly untreated in the UK especially if combined with lymphoedema. From the first moment I spoke with Dr Georgiou my emotional turmoil with this disease was quietened and I was gifted hope. I've had the first surgery of at least 3 and already have improved mobility. The personal touch, the genuine care he has for us is something I've never experienced in the UK. He has a fantastic team and I'm eternally thankful that he is my surgeon. Margaret Skinner2024-06-24 I first met Dr Iakovos Georgiou in 2019 on a zoom call and quickly realised that he was a surgeon that I could trust as his commitment to patient-centred care is truly commendable! However, due to Covid and health issues I was unable to have surgery. Finally, almost four years later on 16 April at the age of 66 I had my first Lipedema surgery with Dr Iakovos Georgiou at the German Medical Institute in Limassol Cyprus. Dr Georgiou is a truly exceptional and gifted surgeon who puts his patients first and foremost. Dr Georgios’ commitment to patient-centred care is truly remarkable and something I have never seen before! I am extremely grateful for the exceptional care I received from Dr Georgiou and his entire team who like him go above and beyond with their kindness and compassion. Dr Georgios’ expertise, professionalism, and compassion was instrumental in my successful surgical outcome. This surgery has been truly life changing for me and the difference in me and my mental health has been noticed and appreciated by my family and friends. Meeting Dr Georgiou was better than winning the lottery for me. I would highly recommend Dr Georgiou to anyone in need of any surgical procedure without hesitation. Alison Nolan2024-06-22 I knew within minutes of my first consultation with Dr Georgiou that he was the right surgeon for me. As soon as I got off the video call with him I cancelled the consultations I had booked with other surgeons and started planning my trip to Cyprus. Dr Georgiou is the most kind and caring person, as well as an amazing surgeon. The hours that he works are insane, checking up on you throughout the day and into the evening. The hospital staff and the rest of his team are the same, the care you get is next level. I am nearly 6 weeks post op from having the lipoedema removed from the fronts of my legs and I could not be happier. The pain and discomfort I had in my legs before surgery has gone completely and as an added bonus, I can see my knees for the first time in over 30 years. I can’t stop looking at them. I have further surgeries planned and now wouldn’t trust anyone else to carry these out for me. I can’t wait to feel and see the final results. Thank you so much Dr Georgiou, this truly has been life changing. Trish Dowling2024-06-17 Dr Georgiou performed a breast reduction and lift, liposuction to my chin, and also Morpheus8. I can not rate Dr Georgiou and his team highly enough. During multiple consultations, we discussed the procedures at length, I was shown pictures of previous work, and we discussed at length, Dr Georgiou experience. All my questions were answered with patience, in a way I understood, and realistic expectations regarding the procedures, recovery, and final result were all discussed. He is very thorough and leaves nothing to chance, and so I felt very safe under his care and trust his extensive expertise. The whole team have a lovely manner that put you at ease immediately, and nothing is too much trouble. The care, before, during and after my surgery from the team was exceptional. Needless to say, I am having further procedures and will be a returning patient to Dr Georgiou and his team, despite my returning to live in the UK. Lena Soghoyan2024-04-21 I have been treated by Dr. Iakovos Georgiou three times already - 2 times for my legs and once for my back - and you can’t imagine how pleased I am with the results! Our first online meeting as an international patient was very easy. Dr. Georgiou explained Lipedema to me so clearly that it put all my fears to rest. His friendly way of communicating makes all the medical stuff easy to understand. What I really appreciate is that he always took the time to answer my questions, never rushed, and always made sure I felt responsible and cared for. To be honest, I have seen other doctors before, but none of them matched his combination of genuine professionalism, experience, and caring. Follow-up care was equally thorough, ensuring that my recovery was on track. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Georgiou to anyone seeking first-class professional care. Especially if you are dealing with something complex like Lipedema, then he is your doctor! Thanks to this confident and caring approach, all surgical operations last a moment. Marianna Demetriou2024-02-16 I dnt know whether I can ever express in words my gratitude towards Dr Iakovos for all he has done for me! He has made a huge difference to my life after undergoing surgery for my lipoedema.I can honestly say i now have normal legs again because of him!!!His skilled hands and knowledge made it all so simple..not to meantion his caring huge heart always there to support his patients emotionally. He s truly one of a kind!! Dr Iakovos you rock my world ☺️ Maria Karaoli2024-02-10 I recently had a breast reduction surgery performed by Dr Georgiou with a truly beautiful result. From the initial consultation till today, Dr Georgiou has been amazing. An absolute professional but at the same time a kind, polite human. The support and understanding I received from the beginning and especially post surgery is truly unbelievable. He never missed a text or a call. I highly recommend him! Dr Georgiou thank you very much for everything!
