Gynecomastia surgery in Volodymyr Sazhiyenko

Gynecomastia surgery at the clinic of Dr. Volodymyr Sazhiyenko in Odesa, Ukraine, typically runs around $3,400. This procedure is led by Dr. Sazhiyenko, a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience who pioneered regenerative plastic surgery in Ukraine. The treatment provides a solution for enlarged male breast tissue using modern surgical techniques tailored to each patient.

Expert Surgical Care

Dr. Volodymyr Sazhiyenko is certified in three specialties: plastic surgery, surgical oncology, and general surgery. He has trained in multiple countries, including Switzerland, Germany, France, and Spain. This deep background helps him address different tissue types, such as fatty, glandular, or mixed tissue. Depending on the volume of tissue, the surgery lasts between 1 and 2 hours. Dr. Sazhiyenko uses three main methods for male breast reduction:

• Liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue.
• Excision to remove glandular tissue or excess skin.
• Combined approach using both liposuction and excision for the best contour.

Preparation and Safety

Safety starts with a detailed pre-operative workup. Patients undergo a complete blood count, biochemistry, and a coagulogram to check blood clotting. A hormone profile measuring testosterone, estrogen, and prolactin is also required. A breast ultrasound helps the surgeon plan the exact approach. Before the procedure, patients meet with both a therapist and an anesthesiologist to confirm they are ready for surgery.

Costs and Inclusions

The price for surgical removal of gynecomastia is around $3,400. An initial consultation with Dr. Volodymyr Sazhiyenko is around $60. The surgery package includes several essential services to make the process smooth:

• The surgery and anesthesia.
• A hospital stay for a half-day or a full day.
• Meals and medications while in the hospital.
• Care and monitoring by the medical staff after surgery.

Patients should plan for extra costs not included in the package. These include the mandatory compression garment, pre-operative exams, and follow-up visits for dressings.

Recovery Protocol

The recovery process takes between 2 and 4 weeks. Patients must wear a compression garment during this time to support the new chest contour. Physical activity is limited, so heavy lifting and intense training should be avoided. Dr. Volodymyr Sazhiyenko schedules follow-up visits at 3 days, 2 weeks, and 1 month to monitor healing. While initial recovery is fast, the final results are usually visible within 1 to 2 months. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about this procedure.
