Dmitry Sergeevich Skvortsov is a plastic surgeon with seven years of experience. He is the author of the innovative facial correction technique “French cheeks” and the “Idealmom” technique, which allows for ideal body correction after childbirth.
After graduating from the Faculty of Medicine at Samara State Medical University, he studied for two years in a clinical internship in surgery, and in 2010 he received a specialization as a transfusiologist. From 2009 to 2010, at the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, he underwent professional retraining in reconstructive and plastic surgery, and mastered laser techniques in aesthetic surgery. He has certificates confirming the right to perform facial and neck contouring and use botulinum toxins, fillers and mesothreads in practical work.
Dmitry Sergeevich constantly improves the level of his professional skills through active participation in seminars, trainings and courses in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine. In his practical work he widely uses CO2 lasers. Dr. Skvortsov’s scientific works have been published in many domestic and foreign medical online publications and professional journals.
Dmitry, tell us how you became a plastic surgeon?
At the very beginning of my career, I was a general surgeon. Later he retrained and began to gain more practice in thoracic surgery - he performed lung resection, removed tuberculomas, and treated patients who had complications from tuberculosis. I started my career in a regional hospital, which was located at a correctional colony, that is, our patients were prisoners. They often had various injuries - ruptures of the ears or soft tissues of the nose, fractures of the nose. At their request and desire, I slowly began to enter the field of reconstructive aesthetic surgery. However, I lacked experience and knowledge, so I submitted documents to RUDN University, where I received retraining. Since 2014, I have been exclusively engaged in aesthetic surgery. Although my experience as a surgeon is already 11 years.
Skvortsov Dmitry Sergeevich
“I love making people beautiful and happy”
Dmitry Sergeevich is a very famous plastic surgeon in Russia who develops his own methods for correcting external defects that people have on the face and body. In her work she pays special attention to restoring the figure of women after childbirth, which is quite important even for young patients. Thanks to high-quality education, I have acquired a high level of knowledge and keep up with the times, constantly developing and devoting time to self-learning new products in my field of activity.
Specialist training and internship
Admission to the Samara State Medical University allowed Dr. Skvortsov to receive a medical diploma, which he received in 2009. Initially, he received the specialty “General Medicine,” which allowed him to subsequently receive additional professional education on this basis in the field of plastic surgery. The specialist completed his internship in 2009-2010, and it was work in the field of surgery at the Department of General Surgery. This means that the doctor’s range of knowledge is quite extensive, and this improves his qualifications.
Retraining in transfusiology was completed in 2010 in the conditions of the State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education SAM State Medical University. In 2014, he received certificates that allowed Dr. Skvortsov to work in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Scientific activities and original projects
Constantly working on improving plastic surgery techniques in the field of face and body correction. Regularly attends various seminars and trainings to share information and knowledge, as well as learn from the experience of foreign colleagues.
He also constantly attends plastic surgery courses to ensure effective self-improvement. A huge part of his research practice is devoted to operations in the field of aesthetic surgery; the doctor is constantly in search of the latest solutions that provide guaranteed results and ensure maximum safety for the patient.
Dr. Skvortsov is the author of various publications for well-known professional media, as well as for women’s media - popular magazines and publications of various profiles.
He has developed a professional, proprietary method for restoring a woman’s body after childbirth, Idealmom. Specializes in operations after massive weight loss, performs piezorhinoplasty and rhinosculpture. He suggested using the author’s “French Cheeks” technique to restore the oval of the face.
Dr. Skvortsov received special attention in the professional community and among patients after she began to use modern Let down and Push down techniques in her practice when performing rhinoplasty. He was one of the first in Russia to use a piezotome to correct the shape and size of the nose.
Professional specialization
Dr. Skvortsov works mainly in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery to provide restoration or correction of the appearance of patients. At the same time, his clients are not only women, but also men, who have recently become more sensitive to their appearance.
The specialist’s work is concentrated in the following areas:
- blepharoplasty;
- rhinoplasty, rhinosculpture, piezorhinoplasty;
- mammoplasty of any complexity;
- lipomodeling of the face and body;
- abdominoplasty;
- otoplasty to change the ears;
- resection of Bisha's lumps;
- platysmoplasty;
- butt lift;
- labiaplasty;
- plastic surgery of legs and arms, fingers;
- combined operations to restore the body after childbirth.
Dr. Skvortsov uses all the innovative achievements of plastic surgery to offer his patients a wide variety of options for solving problems with appearance, facial and body defects. Many of Dr. Skvortsov’s clients note his individual and modern approach, which allows for the highest quality results. At the same time, the specialist works to achieve results using minimally invasive techniques that help protect patients from complications and shorten the recovery period.
What operations do you perform?
At the moment I perform operations on a fairly wide range. For the face: blephoroplasty, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, facelift, that is, facelift. On the body: combined operations, recovery after childbirth: chest, abdomen, body liposculpture using the Vaser device. Vaser is an ultrasonic liposuction device, a new product that has proven itself very well in body liposculpture. I also perform surgeries to sculpt the cheek area, called “French cheeks.” I remove Bisha's lumps and suture the buccal muscle. As a result, we get a stable frame that does not float after removing lumps, and the screed looks even, so the effect of sophistication in the middle third of the face is more correct, pronounced and natural.

What is conservation rhinoplasty?
Conservation rhinoplasty is the concept of working out the structures of the nose with minimal trauma and maximum results.
We do not destroy the surface layers and do not remove either the bone or cartilage structure of the nasal dorsum. But at the same time, we are working on the internal structure in order to lower the back without destroying it. Also, by certain manipulation of the cartilage, we create the effect of stability of the tip of the nose so that it does not droop in the future. At the moment, I am trying to get as close as possible to theorinoplasty - this is another branch of conservation rhinoplasty, the author of which is the famous surgeon from Istanbul Teoman Dogan. An ideally performed theorinoplasty does not require the application of splints, plaster, tampons, or any splints. Patients can be sent home the same evening with minimal swelling and bruising.
How does the preparation process for rhinoplasty work?
The preparation is standard: the patient undergoes a CT scan of the nose, septum and paranasal sinuses. We are looking at whether there may be problems with the septum in the future, how much it can block the nasal passages, and whether there is an ENT pathology. After this, we proceed to further examination. Everything is the same as for a regular elective operation. The only thing we ask patients to avoid taking hormones, vitamins, blood thinners for a week is to avoid bruising, hematomas and, most importantly, to avoid massive profuse bleeding.
How long does recovery take? How quickly does the patient return to his normal rhythm of life?
Recovery with preserving low-traumatic techniques is quite rapid. After a week, we remove the splint, if it was needed at all. By this time, there are no longer any primary bruises or swelling left. Next comes simply adaptation of the nose. Of course, it will take several months to form; we get an approximate stable picture after six months, so patients need to be patient. Within a week, patients can easily return to their normal rhythm of life, and after a month they can begin physical activity. The only thing is that athletes who spar need to be careful - they should not injure their nose for a year so that re-correction is not required.
Who would you not recommend to get rhinoplasty? What are the contraindications?
Contraindications for rhinoplasty are standard - these are exacerbations of chronic diseases, acute inflammatory processes, colds, viral diseases. It is not advisable to perform surgery during menstruation. If there are any physical health problems, we send the patient to a therapist, and only after his approval can we take him for surgery. As for autoimmune diseases, we also look at how much everything is compensated. For example, diabetes. If the blood sugar is very high, and the patient does not correct the indicators, does not work with an endocrinologist, we will not take him either. With multiple sclerosis of the cerebral vessels, we also look at what kind of compensation the body has, how complicated everything is, what attacks there were during the year. This also applies to epilepsy and prolonged depression. Usually patients try to keep silent about this, but we start by asking whether they are taking any additional medications and why they are doing this. Many admit that they have long-term insomnia, depression, etc. We refer such patients for consultations with a psychiatrist, where he already answers whether this patient can even undergo such an operation and how he will tolerate it, what the rehabilitation process will be like.
I would not recommend rhinoplasty to people who do not understand the essence of this operation. This is not some kind of magic pill that you take and wake up in the morning with a new nose. If patients do not understand that this is a surgery with its own risks, then such people should not have surgery. I also refuse patients who have come up with an overly ideal nose in their head and are sure that they will get exactly the same one. I explain that we strive for our ideal pictures, but we have swelling, skin density, a certain structure and anatomy of the nose, so we are 70% closer to any modeling. This doesn't mean it will be worse.
It often happens that we do one modeling, but in fact the nose turns out much more beautiful and natural. Here there must be full awareness of the step that patients are taking, and an understanding that they themselves are responsible for this step. We, as surgeons, must listen to them completely, explain everything, show them and determine whether the patient is mentally ready for this or not.
In general, how far has plastic surgery come?
At the moment, plastic surgery is moving forward with five-mile strides.
For example, ultrasound was not used as often as it is now. If we take liposculpture of the body, it is easier and better to perform it with ultrasound: not just collect pieces of fat from the subcutaneous fatty tissue, but turn it into an emulsion, and then create a skin tightening effect with a sound wave.
Regarding rhinoplasty, many rough, heavy and chopping instruments have also been replaced by ultrasound. I actively use Piezotome - this is a device that allows thin nozzles using ultrasound to make a stable, controlled thin section of the bone structure without injuring soft tissues. Here, rehabilitation occurs in the shortest possible time, and the course of the operation itself is predictable. We can also use ultrasound to break up fat traps on the lower back and sides of the abdomen, which do not go away either from diets or from exercise, because this is such a special fat, overgrown with fibrous layers. As a result, the result can be preserved for decades.

How do you assess the level of plastic surgery and the level of qualifications of plastic surgeons in Russia?
I believe that our specialists are at a very high level. Especially over the last 5-10 years, we have achieved good results, we have a lot of our own developments. Our specialists create their own techniques and methods for using the same ultrasound. I am glad that there are a lot of young talented surgeons. The older generation of our colleagues shares their enormous experience, the methods that they have developed over 15-20 years of practice, we eagerly grab them and actively use them. We are already at a good level in aesthetic surgery, and we will be even higher.
