The Stromal Enriched Lipograft™ (SEL™) method

involves the attachment of isolated stem cells from our body to the aspirated fat, while the fat tissue acts as a living biological tissue before its transfer to another body area. Today, the technique is used, among others, in the correction of inherited or acquired defects (e.g. post-burn deformities) and in breast reconstruction surgery following a mastectomy.

In aesthetic plastic surgery, the technique offers a safer option compared to injectable materials in the face and body area and breast silicone implants, contributing to the creation of functional tissue, which bears a more natural-looking appearance and entails less risks than the currently available options.

In every case, using tissue from our own body helps us avoid the possibility of graft rejection (until now, fat graft survival in traditional liposculpture is 20-30%) or suffering adverse reactions.

The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic at Metropolitan General is a Point of Reference both in Greece and abroad for its pioneering Stromal Enriched Lipograft™ (SEL™) technique. Patients from Europe, Asia and the USA choose and trust the Clinic for the specialized treatments it provides. Plastic surgeons from 12 different countries have visited the Clinic to witness live surgeries and receive training. Experienced, specialized physicians, associates to the Clinic, have a strong presence at international conferences and play a key role in medical advances, shaping the future of plastic surgery.

Face: face lift,temporary lifting, endoscopic forehead lift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, labiaplasty or lip surgery
Body: liposuction, liposculpture, abdominoplasty, buttock – thigh lift
Breast: augmentation, reduction, uplift, gynecomastia in men, obesity
Reconstruction after bariatric surgery (after heavy weight loss)
Lifting thighs
Lipoplasty

RECONSTRUCTIVE PLASTIC SURGERY
Reconstructive Plastic Surgery aims to correct deformities in the human body caused by injuries, burns, oncological incidents, and other circumstances.
To address the difficulties, classical surgery or microsurgery is used to restore the human body’s physiological form prior to an accident or the occurrence of a neoplasm.

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery includes operations, such as:
Correction of criminal scars, removal of warts and scars, treatment of cancerous skin, treatment of post-traumatic malformations, upper limb microsurgery, congenital malformations (cleft lip, cleft palate), restoration of large skin deficits.
Scar Correction
Scar treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical, can greatly benefit from plastic surgery.
How to deal with them is determined by a number of factors, including whether they were caused by an accident and what kind it was, how it happened, the extent of the skin damage (burns, surgery, injury), and each body’s ability to heal.
Scars fade naturally over time, but they do not disappear completely.
Plastic surgery allows you to effectively treat scars or conceal them in the body so they are less visible.
The use of a laser can help to improve the texture and color of scars, making them less visible.
However, if the scars are too large in size, then the surgical approach is considered necessary.

SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY
Reassigning sex aims to change the external characteristics of a male to a female without causing deformities or malformations.
Sex reassignment surgery, also known as sex change, is a complex and serious surgical procedure that entails changing the primary and secondary sex characteristics.
Secondary changes are performed in order to allow the patient to eliminate his or her phenotypic peculiarities so that he or she can integrate more easily into society.
The operations are intended to transform genetically defined and complementary features so that the person concerned feels what he or she wants to be and society sees him or her for what he or she wants to feel.
