If stitches are needed how are they removed, will I need to return to the clinic for removal?
Most of our patients don't have their stitches taken out at our clinic but have it done at their family doctor, gynaecologist or a local hospital. So there is no need to return to the clinic in Poland another time.

Is there a shopping area close to the clinic?
The clinic is located in Slubice, a town right at the border to Germany . There is a small shopping area in Slubice, about 600m from the clinic. Another shopping area is in Frankfurt an der Oder (about 2 km from the clinic), the German town just across the border.

Does the surgeon speak English?
Mrs Dr. Baranski speaks English

How and when do I pay the fee?
The fee for the surgery needs to be paid in cash (EUR) to Dr. Baranski at the end of the consultation. Paying with credit cards and travellers cheques is not possible.

Do I have to have an ECG & blood examination done?
If you are older than 35 you should do an ECG in the UK prior to the operation. The ECG is not obligatory for young and healthy people. The blood examination can be done at the clinic and is free of charge.

What if the operation isn't fully successful, what is your policy for correction?
The Operations at our clinic have always been successful. However, in cases where a correction will be necessary, the clinic InterMed offers a free correction. The patient will merely have to pay for anaesthesia and accommodation.

Do I have to take any documents with me?
Yes, you do need a passport to cross the Polish / German border.

Gynecomastia: Can I have the incisions made at the armpits to hide the scars better?
According to Dr Baranski, the risk of potential complications is a lot higher if the gynecomastia would be performed with incisions at the armpits. With a long pair of scissors the surgeon then snips the gland out through these incisions.
Dr Baranski prefers incisions made around the areolas, which is less complicated and safer for the patient. Furthermore, the risk of scarring is not very high with incisions around the areolas because potential scars are less visible on the edges of the areolas.
