Dmitry Melnikov negative reviews
Young specialists who have achieved early recognition or simply become famous are checked by future patients as carefully as possible. Women spend hours on forums, looking for reviews, studying information about education and experience, internships, and only after such in-depth research work agree to go for a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Of no small importance in this preparation for a meeting with a doctor is the presence or absence of negative reviews about the work or behavior of a specialist: you must agree, no one wants to have surgery from an arrogant boor.
Sometimes the demand for a doctor’s services is so high that his name is included in the top queries of Internet search engines. One of these specialists was a Moscow doctor who is not yet 40 years old. More precisely, the request “Dmitry Melnikov plastic surgeon negative reviews” has recently become popular. Suddenly, the activities of a fairly young doctor became interesting to tens of thousands of people.
Investigation: beginning and end
Let’s admit right away that our correspondents were interested in such targeted activity on the Internet. What if the specialist really is hiding some secrets and secrets from the general public? Trying to hide unsuccessful operations and not listening to patients? Determined to find out, we, like real investigators, studied all the links that Yandex and Google gave us, went through the surgeon’s social media accounts and read all the published patient stories. Moreover, we even carefully studied the comments that users left under a regular post, interview or author’s column of the doctor. So what's the result?
No sensation in the matter! No scandals, no intrigues, no investigations!
Nothing! Many hours of studying the material in front of a computer monitor did not result in any sensation: no scandals, no intrigues, no investigations. At first they were even upset, because hard work did not reveal any of the surgeon’s secrets! A thorough study forced the portal’s journalists to lean toward the harmless opinion that the request “Dmitry Melnikov plastic surgeon negative reviews” became so active due to the surge of interest that potential clients show to the specialist.
Future patients, surprised that the waiting list for just a consultation has stretched out for three years, are interested in the reputation of such a sought-after plastic surgeon. Does Dmitry Vladimirovich really have no dissatisfied patients? Well, how about without negative reviews? Is there something where a specialist is not sufficiently qualified? Not seeing the desired result, people continue to type “Dmitry Melnikov plastic surgeon negative reviews” into the search, believing that next time the first lines will reveal the doctor’s secrets. But this is not destined to come true. All relevant links lead to positive reviews of the doctor's work and character.

37-year-old Dmitry Vladimirovich Melnikov may not boast of 20 years of work experience, but, if assessed by the totality and complexity of the operations performed, he can be called a very experienced specialist in plastic surgery. Candidate of Medical Sciences graduated from MMA named after. Sechenov, residency in surgery at the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the State Institution Russian Scientific Center for Surgery named after. B.V. Petrovsky RAMS. He is an employee of the Department of Plastic Surgery at PMSMU. THEM. Sechenov, Moscow.
He has completed internships in European centers of plastic and reconstructive surgery: at the Dr. Fabritio Mercarelli (Gstaad, Switzerland), at the University Hospital Linz in Austria. This was followed by internships at the Lipex clinic (Riga, Latvia), the MAYO clinic (Rochester, USA), and the FrauKliniken clinic of Professor Mario-Axel Feller (Munich, Germany). Dmitry Vladimirovich even underwent a personal internship with the president of the Belgian Association of Plastic Surgeons at the University Hospital of Brussels.

Successfully combines medical practice with research work, introducing new surgical techniques in plastic surgery. The main specialization of Dr. Melnikov is aesthetic and reconstructive mammoplasty and abdominoplasty.
Dmitry Melnikov is credited with the first breast reconstruction operation in Russia using a SIEA flap
It was Dmitry Melnikov who was responsible for the first breast reconstruction operation in Russia with a SIEA flap. By the way, restorative operations are as important an area of specialist activity as aesthetic plastic surgery.
It is also worth mentioning that the doctor we are interested in is a full member of the International Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (ISAPS), and also holds the position of National Vice-Secretary of ISAPS in Russia.
Dmitry Melnikov and unsuccessful operations
Since Internet users were so interested in whether the doctor had any unsuccessful stories, but did not find any relevant reviews, we decided to find out what Dmitry Melnikov’s opinion is regarding the ethics of a plastic surgeon. Here are quotes from his recent interviews:
“I come from a school that developed in Russia, starting in the 60s, from microsurgery. Academician Nikolai Olegovich Milanov, my teacher, also belonged to this school. According to her principles, common sense comes first, and, of course, we often refuse patients despite financial gain. But in the commercial part of our industry, surgeons often follow the lead of patients in pursuit of short-term profit. This often affects their practice: patients remain dissatisfied and go to court. This is typical, in particular, for young surgeons: at the beginning of their career, many try to take on everything at once. Most often, the reason for a patient’s refusal is inflated expectations from the operation or very strange requests. In any case, the only reason for refusal in my practice is lack of contact with the patient. If we don’t understand each other, the person’s motivation is not clear to me, or I feel the patient distrusts me, I can refuse.”
Here’s what the success of the operation depends on, according to the doctor:
“The success of an operation depends on several factors: the surgeon’s hands, the quality of the patient’s skin, the speed of tissue healing. In addition, each operation has a so-called “percentage of complications.” One hundred noses will survive the operation well, but the one hundred and first will suffer complications in the form of scars and breathing problems. Everyone's body is different! As for deaths, there are two reasons for them in plastic surgery. The first is thromboembolism, when large arteries become blocked. This is an unpredictable story; about 1% of patients die from it during surgery. The second is anaphylactic shock. Its occurrence is also almost impossible to predict in advance. Whether it will be possible to save the patient - it all depends on the speed of assistance, the effect of the drugs and the availability of an intensive care unit.”
Well, in conclusion, about in what cases a plastic surgeon will not hesitate to refuse you surgery:
“Reason No. 1 is patients’ high expectations, No. 2 is their unusual requests. At the same time, each case must be considered separately. So, I consulted several patients with very strange requests, but they ceased to be so after careful analysis. We are all individual, and we all have different reasons for turning to a plastic surgeon.
If during a consultation a woman asks to increase her bust to size 10, but she manages to explain to me why she needs it, gives adequate reasons for the need for her to get exactly that breast size, perhaps I will perform such an operation. On the other hand, if a young girl comes to me and wants to “get her breasts done” because all her friends have already done it, I will most likely refuse. In general, it is important for me not only to be able to operate well, but also to understand why a person needs to change something in his appearance.”
