Dr. Delgado Talks About Drains and Compression Vests

Dr. Delgado is a Leader in Gynecomastia
Dr. Delgado provides the latest in technology and technique to his patients, many of which he designs himself. The result is a high satisfaction rate he receives from his patients. In the before and after pictures below is a delighted patient who wanted to share his own photos.
In listening to his patients, Dr. Miguel Delgado,M.D. learned that the tiny scar left by the incision made for the drain was quite bothersome to many patients. Dr. Delgado explains in detail the need for drains; you can read more about that in the blog dated September 2017. Note in the after picture below where you can see the small scar right below the armpit.
By moving the incision high up into the armpit, once it has healed patients have a hard time locating it!
Patient Comfort is Key
Another innovation by Dr. Delgado is the design of his unique compression vests. Previously commercial vests were bulky and did not have a provision for the awkward drain bulbs. Before, the bulbs were attached to the vest with a safety pin as shown in the picture.
Dr. Delgado designed his vest with removable pockets that hold the bulbs. Once the drains were removed, the pockets came off making the vest less bulky. Also, the shoulder straps are adjustable allowing for more comfort. Then there is a second stage vest that is used when healing has progressed. The second vest is made of thinner material and has compression over the chest only. Lined with a soft T-shirt fabric, the vest is even more comfortable and undetectable under most shirts.
