The problem of baldness today affects neither men nor women. There are many factors that can lead to hair loss, and the only effective way to solve the problem is transplantation. Today, the Medical Center “Doctor Droga” offers its clients the highest level of this procedure, and if you have a problem with baldness, want to grow a stylish thick beard or correct the shape of your eyebrows, get to know the leading specialist of the clinic - hair transplantologist Alexandra Vorona.

There are two main methods of performing the procedure: the sutureless method (FUE) and the sutured method (FUT). In fact, they differ only in the way the material for transplantation is taken. With the sutureless method, the doctor makes a micro-hole and takes the graft (an element with a hair follicle) pointwise and one by one. Thus, there is minimal tissue trauma and visible traces of the intervention disappear in a week. When performing the FUT procedure, the doctor separates a small part of the skin from the donor area with the required amount of grafts. To minimize the traces of hair sampling, a trichophyte suture is used to close the skin area rather than a simple one. This makes the intervention invisible.

The collection usually takes place from the back of the head. Here, due to certain characteristics, hair grows throughout life. In men, it is also possible to take hair from the face and sternum.

These include diabetes mellitus, acute skin diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and oncology. In the latter two cases, hair transplantation is possible after consultation with a specialized doctor.

Yes, this is a very popular request from clients. Today, people experiment a lot with their appearance, but even an unsuccessful tattoo can lead to a loss of eyebrow density. It is my job to fix all this. In addition, the procedure has now become more common. Earlier, people used to seek hair transplantation in the eyebrow area because of scars, but today people come to a transplantologist for aesthetics, and changes in shape, density, and symmetry. The same applies to men. Dreams of a gorgeous mustache or a thick beard can now become a reality with the help of one procedure and the skill of a surgeon.

Medical Center “Doctor Droga” introduces the achievements of modern medicine, which are already available to the center's clients. Traumatic operations are a thing of the past, our experienced surgeons work on modern equipment, without incisions, as efficiently as possible. Just a few hours of work - and you will return home with your legs, happy and without varicose veins.

Varicose veins are quite common and mostly hereditary. Its development can be influenced by, for example, pregnancy and lifestyle. With age, the problems become more severe, but varicose veins are currently getting younger.

Our clients can be people aged 16 and older. Most of them are women, which is due to genetics, but there are also many men. It all starts with an unaesthetic appearance, discomfort, and swelling, and, if you neglect the manifestations, it can lead to trophic ulcers, lung infarction, and even death. That is why the main thing that everyone who has inherited a predisposition to varicose veins, observes spider veins or spider veins, or already enlarged veins should know is to go for a consultation with a doctor, and the sooner the better. Not on the Internet, not to the grandmother in the neighboring stairwell or a miracle ointment seller, but to a surgeon, or phlebologist.

Surgery is still the only way to effectively treat venous disease; no ointments or poultices will help. They can alleviate swelling, but they will not cure it and not get rid of it forever.

It is impossible without a surgeon, and with or without incisions depends on the stage at which the person applied. The later, the more complicated the process can be, but modern technologies allow us to solve the problem quickly. Without injuries and incisions, and therefore without pain, scars, scars, swelling and bruises. As quickly and efficiently as possible.

For example, sclerotherapy is the injection of specialized drugs directly into a diseased vein. This method is used at the Dr. Droga Medical Center if the nodes are not very large.

Endovascular laser obliteration (EVLO) also does not involve incisions, only punctures. At later stages, doctors resort to phlebectomy. Cases are different, and the sooner a person visits, the higher the likelihood of using minimally invasive methods.

Sclerotherapy and endovascular laser obliteration can solve the problem of dilated veins in a few hours. In addition, with minimal risks of postoperative complications and a good cosmetic effect.

Laser surgery and its benefits

Endovascular laser obliteration (EVLO) is currently the newest technique in Ukraine and the world. It is quite young but extremely effective. In fact, it is a surgery without incisions, including in the groin. It is performed under local anesthesia, because in fact, on the operating table, a person is put in compression garments, and in about an hour or two, the client leaves the Dr. Droga Medical Center on his own feet. As a result, we have a minimum of trauma, minimum risks, maximum results, and a positive cosmetic effect. The whole process is ultrasound-controlled, there is no other way. Under the control of ultrasound, a vein is punctured, then a laser light guide is inserted and sealed under its action. This operation is performed under local anesthesia, without anesthesia, because the vein must be in good shape, just like a person who can walk immediately after the operation. In fact, this method transfers the treatment of varicose veins from the category of inpatient to outpatient.

The Doctor Droga Medical Center has been performing laser surgeries since 2020. It was selected specifically for the treatment of varicose veins, it has an optimal wavelength and high power. This is what makes it possible to seal not only small but also large and very large venous trunks. In fact, this makes the least traumatic procedure more accessible at different stages of the disease. In addition, we use a modern ultrasound machine, because without it the procedure is simply impossible, and the laser light guide instrument is ordered individually for the patient. It is a single-use device

Which implants are better? Is it worth choosing more expensive? How reliable are products from different manufacturers? Anatomical or round?

In this article, you will get answers to all your questions from the plastic surgeon and head physician of the clinic - Alexey Ivanovich Droga.

There is a lot of contradictory information on the Internet. Some of it is outdated, while others are simply not true. Many articles are written to boost sales of a particular brand, not to give you objective information.

I face the problem of choosing implants for my patients every day. I answer questions, give recommendations, and can say for sure that only an experienced plastic surgeon can choose the right model and size of breast implants. If you are planning an operation зверніться за консультацією, і ми на місці обговоримо всі питання.

For those who have not yet decided on the operation, I will tell you a little more about breast implants. This will be honest and objective information about breast implants from a plastic surgeon who has been involved in breast augmentation for over 20 years.

Ukraine currently offers a wide range of implants from different manufacturers - Polytech, Mentor, Silimed, Eurosilicone, and Motiva. All products look similar to each other. Although they are produced in different countries (Germany, Brazil, France, and the USA), their shape and size range are comparable and do not differ in principle. A breast implant is a silicone shell with a special silicone gel inside. Mostly, implants with a textured (rough) shell are used, which reduces the risk of their displacement.

Breast endoprostheses are a high-tech product consisting of a silicone shell and a filler. Their shell is so strong that you can drive a car over it. In addition to the fact that the integrity of the shell is not compromised, the gel shape memory allows the implant to restore its previous shape afterward.

The silicone breast implant is filled with a special cohesive gel. It is this gel that ensures the preservation of the ideal breast shape. The consistency of this gel resembles soft marmalade. This prevents the contents of the breast implant from leaking out even when the shell is cut and ensures additional safety of its use.

When planning an operation, many people wonder if they need to change breast implants. The short answer is no! Leading manufacturers provide a lifetime warranty for such products. This means that you do not have to replace your breast implant. However, in order not to make a mistake with the choice of a breast implant, it is better to contact trusted manufacturers, I can recommend such companies as Polytech, Silimed, Motiva, and Mentor. Even if the product is deformed or damaged for some reason, these manufacturers undertake to replace the damaged implant with a new one, absolutely free of charge.

All manufacturers produce breast implants in two main forms. These are anatomical (teardrop-shaped) and round (hemisphere-like). The model line offers a huge selection of sizes and models, so it is not difficult to choose an option that meets the requirements of any patient. To determine the required shape and size, you should pay attention to certain nuances that a plastic surgeon should be well versed in. It is enough for you to accurately describe the shape and size of the breast that you want to get as a result of the operation.

Structured or smooth? You may have read about this type on the Internet. Forget it! Breast implants with a smooth surface are outdated and are hardly ever produced today. Also, there is no need to think about implants with saline inside - this is the last century (they are not used anywhere except for temporary installation during breast reconstruction after amputation). I also hasten to dispel the “immortal” myth about health hazards. Breast implants have been repeatedly tested, both in laboratories and in practice. You should not worry about this. Implants do not affect breastfeeding in any way and, of course, in world practice, there has not yet been a single case of a breast implant exploding on an airplane.

First, determine the required size of your breasts.

Most patients are afraid of making their augmentation too big. Therefore, they specify a slightly smaller size. As a result, many girls later regret their choice and eventually come to the idea of replacing the implants with other, larger ones. I advise you to be as sincere as possible in this matter. If the desired size is too big for you, I will tell you about it, and we will choose the one that will most harmoniously match your figure.

Specify the desired shape of the breast implants. Do you want to have teardrop or round-shaped implants? If you need breasts that will look more natural, then the choice should be in favor of the anatomical shape. Round implants are worth taking if you want to get a more lush and sexy shape as a result. By the way, the round shape is better suited for girls who lead a sporty lifestyle. This is because such implants are free from the risk of rotation, so there are no restrictions on extreme sports and other active physical activity. Think, evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages, and compare the final result with round or anatomical breast implants.

The cost of breast augmentation surgery в Україні включає кілька складових:

• Expenses for consulting services: examination by a plastic surgeon before and after surgery; hardware and laboratory tests.
• Payment for the work of doctors: surgeon and anesthesiologist, as well as nurses.
• The cost of implants - endoprostheses.
• The cost of staying in the clinic before and after surgery.
• The cost of compression garments: they must be worn after the intervention for some time.

The price depends on the qualifications of the plastic surgeon, the type of implant, the type of surgery, the level of the clinic where it is performed, etc.

The operation takes 40-60 minutes, and further rehabilitation takes about six months.

The cost of implants makes up a significant part of the price of breast augmentation. Their cost is determined by the shape, type of filler, and density. The manufacturer's brand also matters: products of more advanced brands are more expensive. It is very important not to save money when choosing implants. The result of mammoplasty and its long-term preservation directly depends on how high-quality the endoprosthesis is.

If you want to enlarge your breasts, make an appointment with a plastic surgeon - Alexey Ivanovich Droga in Kremenchuk.

An experienced doctor will conduct an examination to find out if such an operation is possible for you, offer the appropriate technique and implants, and perform the operation.

Gynecomastia - is an exclusively male problem that manifests itself in an increase in breast volume caused by hormonal disorders. There are two types of gynecomastia: physiological, which occurs at a certain age and usually goes away without treatment, and pathological, which requires surgical intervention.

Only in our clinic ”Doctor Droga“ thanks to the availability of modern equipment and with the help of a unique technique you have the opportunity to get rid of such a problem as an enlarged mammary gland in men.
The entire procedure is performed under anesthesia through a small puncture, through which the breast is destroyed and removed. Only one stitch is applied and removed in a week.

Types of gynecomastia

They are distinguished by the type of tissue:

• true gynecomastia - an overgrowth of glandular tissues in the mammary gland;
• false gynecomastia or lipomastia - an increase in the volume of adipose tissue in the mammary gland.

They are distinguished by the degree of development:

• unilateral gynecomastia - the problem is diagnosed only on one breast. In this case, patients seek help at an earlier stage;
• bilateral gynecomastia - the problem is diagnosed on both mammary glands. The number of such cases is statistically higher than with unilateral. This type of disease is characterized by later visits to doctors for help.

The main causes of gynecomastia:

• imbalance of testosterone and estrogen in favor of the latter. The cause of this imbalance, in turn, is tumors of the pituitary gland, pancreas, adrenal glands, stomach, lungs, and several other diseases;
• an increase in the production of prolactin (a female hormone that ensures lactation and breast milk production) caused by neoplasms on the pituitary gland, as well as hypothyroidism;
• a general metabolic disorder that occurs in systemic diseases, ranging from tuberculosis to diabetes mellitus;
• obesity, which is both a consequence of metabolic disorders and caused by beer alcoholism (beer contains a significant amount of phytoestrogens, “female” hormones) and a sedentary lifestyle;

In addition, traumatic lesions of the chest, taking certain medications (hormones), intoxication (including alcohol or drugs), and human immunodeficiency virus can be the causes.
