Gynecomastia

I had a procedure at Karidis Clinic in August, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the service was absolutely amazing. The staff were professional, kind, and made me feel completely at ease. Everything was explained thoroughly, and I felt confident I was in the best hands.

The results? Better than I could have ever imagined! The outcome exceeded my expectations, and I’m beyond grateful for the expertise and care I received. If you’re considering a procedure, I highly recommend Karidis Clinic – they truly deliver excellence.

Thank you to the entire team for such a positive experience!

Outstanding results

I recently had liposuction with Alex Karidis and I am just blown away by the results. I am perimenopausal and after years of being able to maintain a lean and toned physique through exercise I have struggled for the last 5 years as no matter what I have done I have continued to gain weight around my stomach and thighs. I finally decided to bite the bullet and I had a consultation and progressed with liposuction on my stomach, flanks and thighs. It’s 3 months on and that old confidence is coming back. The operation went smoothly and the aftercare by the nurses was outstanding. I think I still have some recovery to go with a small amount of swelling still on my legs but I know that’s to be expected and I’m excited for the final result. I already have a 3 inch reduction on my waist and 4 inches on my hips and my stomach is completely flat for the first time in 5 years. Thank you Alex Karidis and to your team for the great support.

More craters and dents than the moon.

O the horror, the horror!
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

My chest looks as if it’s beens mutilated, my left nipple is almost sinking as there is no gland anymore, behind either of them. I can perpetually feel it rubbing against bone.

Devastating!!

I thought, mistakenly that some finesse and speciality would of been shown to me but the more time goes i can see the results of my surgery with Mr Karidis.

Two dents and a concaved deformed chest. I should never of done this. He’s just made it worse. Why o why? What have i done to deserve this.

I had revisionist gynaecomastia surgery with Mr Karidis in February to remove excess gland and to try correct previous surgery. While he was very personable, his team and nursing staff very professional the surgery has left me with alarming results.

There is nothing behind either nipple, just skin and bone and i am left with two big dents either side and an unnatural looking chest. My left nipple being especially sensitive of the fact as the it rubs against the breast bone constantly.

On initial consultation i asked Mr Karidis about crater deformity but he assured me that that was a thing of the past.
I had a follow up and he told me to ‘lift dumbbells’, never mind.
Anyway what’s done is done. Just trying not to let it destroy me at the minute. Life is hard.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that you feel this way and were both surprised and saddened by your comments, especially since you recently saw Mr. Karidis for a follow-up appointment, where these concerns were not mentioned.

As you mention, your initial surgery took place under the care of a different surgeon and so in the surgery that you have recently undertaken Mr. Karidis was trying to correct issues that were left from that surgery that took place elsewhere.

You mention ‘’crater deformity’’, Mr. Karidis takes particular pride in applying techniques that specifically avoid this, and indeed, as you state, does not encounter this with his patients as a result.
In contrast to your assertions, which Mr. Karidis strongly feels are unfair, Mr. Karidis also believes you do not exhibit any classical signs of this deformity.

Nonetheless in accordance with his patient care protocols, he would of course be very happy to see you again to reassess and discuss any concerns you have and our Practice Manager has attempted to make contact with you this morning to organise this.

Miradry treatment 1 year 5 months ago

Miradry treatment 1 year 5 months ago.

I just wanted to share my experience getting Miradry treatment at Karidis. The nurse who did my treatment was really friendly and made me feel so comfortable. Even though the treatment was a bit uncomfortable, it was totally worth it. The healing process involved some swelling and a little bit of purging, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, I'm really happy with the results. I do sweat, but just like the average person would. I'm even thinking about getting a second treatment for even better results, and I would recommend this clinic to anyone. Thanks again!

Fantastic results!

I shall start at the beginning! I had a face lift and rhinoplasty in February and I was, quite literally, terrified. If it wasn’t for the support and reassurance of Dr Karidis and his team, I’m not sure I could have gone through with it.
Dr Karidis is a very kind man and his expertise really reassured me. Stephen was very very supportive and was always there if I needed to ask a question - by text or phone call. I spoke to the anaesthetist on the phone and they even arranged for me to speak to somebody who had had a facelift - she was amazing! She really helped to ease my mind as she could answer all my questions from a different perspective. The nurse (Raquel) was very thorough and I had regular contact with her also.
I had jowls and a deviated septum and I felt I looked tired and aged. The only thing stopping me doing this was the nerves. The support I received from Dr Karidis and his team really got me through this barrier and I am so glad I did.
Now, when I get ready, I feel great when I look in the mirror - the jowls are gone and new people I meet cannot believe I’m 50.
Recovery isn’t a walk in the park - this is an honest review. You must have support from your family; emotionally and physically. There is some pain and painkillers will quell this. My biggest take away is patience! This is a journey and your face and swelling will be up and down. When it settles, trust me, you will feel incredible.
I have to say that I had no pain whatsoever with my rhinoplasty - literally none. I had a couple of nights of feeling a little stuffy but other than that, no discomfort at all. Stevie took my splint off (she is lovely!) and again, no pain. My face did smart a bit as I said above, but painkillers (codeine) worked a treat.
If you want a facelift, do your research as I did, find a surgeon you can trust such as Dr Karidis and take a deep breath! When you’re through recovery, you will wish you’d done it sooner!

I used Alex Karidis for liposuction…

I used Alex Karidis for liposuction back in Feb-24. I just wanted to give an update on how things went and are going since then. The consultation process at the beginning was reassuring and I signed up for liposuction in 4 areas. I was nervous when the day came but things went well on the day of the procedure. I opted to leave the same day rather than stay overnight and I felt surprisingly perky when I left the hospital. I was able to work from the following day onwards however I worked from home for a week rather than going into the office which I believed helped. I was worried that I would be in a lot of pain but, to be honest, I just felt sore all over more than any real pain. There was only 1 occasion where I had excruciating pain for about 90 mins but I took more painkillers and then it quickly subsided. The body garment was bulkier than I expected but as it was still winter I managed to hide this under a jumper. The healing process is quite a long process though. I was advised it takes 6-9 months to see the full result and I'm now approaching the 4-month mark. There is still some swelling but is it definitely coming down. There are changes week-on-week so I know my body is still healing. The definition has started showing at the top of my abdomen area and more recently on the flanks and I'm hoping/expecting the definition will continue to show elsewhere as the healing continues. I'm very happy with the results so far but am keen to get to the end of the process to see the final result. I'm being careful with what I eat to give myself the best chance of seeing good results. I'll try and remember to post an update towards the end of the year with the final result. As a guideline, I'm a 55 yr old male. I wasn't overweight but never had definition in the abdomen area.

Great results - gynaecomastia surgery

Lovely team with really good care and support pre and post op for gynaecomastia surgery.

The surgery was a really easy experience, in a very comfortable hospital and Mr Karidis' work was fantastic.

Results are phenomenal. Other surgeons I had consulted with said my case would require skin excision leading to significant scarring. Mr Karidis' technique and skill meant he was able to do the surgery without skin excision leading to no visible scarring. The result is a really natural and great looking chest that I am 100% satisfied with.

The whole experience and outcome has exceeded expectations. The cost was a little more than other surgeons had quoted, but for the results and additional safety of surgery in a hospital (rather than clinic) I would say it was absolutely worth it.

The only clinic I will ever trust

The only clinic I will ever trust! I am incredibly nervous around needles but I went to see Stevie for lip fillers for the first time earlier this year. Stevie made me feel really comfortable and calm during the appointment. The procedure of the lip fillers was not painful and I LOVED the results! So much so, I am going back this week for a top up. Thank you Karidis Clinic & especially to Stevie!

V. Beam Laser

I had three lots of V. Beam laser and was really pleased with the outcomes. Stevie is fantastic at what she does, as well as a really lovely girl, she made the experience much more pleasurable. I would strongly advise getting it done if necessary, and seeing her if possible. A very satisfied custome

Excellent, constantly amazed I went through with surgery

This was my second surgery with Mr Karidis and I cannot fault the process. I do not know how someone could have a bad experience, the whole process was smooth. I am a panicker and was given a few mental health coaching sessions prior, great service to offer. The anaesthetist was reassuring and did it my way with a mask first (fear of needles). Of course some discomfort afterwards but pain wise, very controlled and the nurses were attentive and friendly with conversation. Mr Karidis came and seen me before he left for the day and that was just so calming. Honestly , I'm in constant amazment at Mr Karidis' work and what he has acheived for me, life changing and the confidence is high. I travelled over 2 hours many times for this experience - the operation, for dressing changes, for check ups. If i was doing this surgery , i was doing it right and beyond glad at my choice of surgeon

Thank you , truly !!

My Explant Surgery Journey

Recently had explant surgery and couldn’t be happier, I knew it was the right decision for me however I had some reservations with regards to how my breasts would look after the procedure.

Honestly couldn’t be happier with the results, Dr karidis was fantastic and I was blown away with the level of support provided by Dr Karidis team.

Awful experience and very rude and lied to me.

Awful experience where no empathy or sensitivity was provided to me on a human level.

They clearly have it displayed on their website that they use lasers to treat the under eye. They then got me to send photos and turned around and said said we don’t treat that area - making en go through the humiliation of sending them vulnerable photos to claim that the option of laser treatment was never an option in the first place.

They then proceeded to ignore my follow up email. They have since made a half hearted effort to address this but haven’t actually address anything - whilst trying to get the review removed. They have also repeatedly put on me that my responses are “short” and used patronising phrases like “continued correspondence” and twist thing I say.

They also never confirmed any additional treatments after I asked them too. They called me once and didn’t even leave a voicemail. They had no interest in getting this resolved and just wanted to get me to take the review down.

Dear Kristina,

We take all feedback seriously and have diligently reviewed your case. When you first enquired with our clinic, in February 2023, about the specific laser treatment you referred to in your review, our nurse assessed your suitability based on the photos provided and determined that the treatment was not appropriate for you. While disappointing, such assessments are made with patient safety as our priority.

We acknowledged the discrepancy you pointed out on our website, and we have committed to investigating this matter to ensure accuracy in our service descriptions. Additionally, we also made you aware that we had addressed your experience with our staff member, but as a considerable amount of time has elapsed, it’s difficult to recall the events with precision.

We note that your review came a year after your inquiry with our clinic. We would have welcomed the opportunity to resolve any issues sooner, as this would have allowed us to remember the events more clearly and provide a more immediate resolution. Nonetheless, we remain dedicated to your satisfaction.

We also offered more information on alternative treatments we have since introduced that could be more beneficial to you. We extended the offer to provide further information on these alternatives, yet we did not receive a confirmation of your interest in proceeding with this.

Despite our best efforts to engage in a constructive dialogue, including a direct request for a telephone conversation, as well as asking you how you would like us to resolve your concerns, we have not received specific guidance from you. Your review, while valued, does not fully reflect the extensive efforts we've undertaken to address this situation.

Our goal is always to reconcile patient care with satisfaction. If there are additional steps you feel we can take, we invite you to share these with us.

Mr Karidis is an exemplary surgeon with a kind and informative manner. I went from putting off rhinoplasty for many many years to feeling completely at ease and confident in my decision to do so. The process was made easy and all of my questions were answered. I felt very comfortable in Mr Karidis’s care and his team were incredibly supportive and helpful also. I highly recommend him as a surgeon and have already done so to other friends that have asked me about him.

Had my armpits done in May last year I used to have sweat literally drip from them down my sides could not wear anything but black was always soaking wet. Since having this procedure it has completely changed my life I get clamy armpits now but nothing to even notice I can wear any colour I want and don't even have to put deodorant on if I don't want to.
Was a bit uncomfortable for a week after but 100 percent worth it.
