Plastic surgeon Dmitry Batyukov: “We will not fix our personal life”
Today in our country, plastic surgery will not surprise anyone. Aesthetic medicine services are becoming increasingly in demand. Dmitry, do you think this is due to increased income and quality of life?
It is difficult for me to draw a relationship between these factors. Rather, a number of components play a role. Firstly, the level of education and awareness. People understand that it is safe. Secondly, there is a greater degree of acceptance by society of surgical procedures that are not directly related to health, but are aimed at improving the aesthetic appearance of the body and face. And thirdly, of course, the person’s financial situation. Plastic surgery is a conditionally “pleasure of excess”; a sane person will not spend his last money on a nose job or breast enlargement. And as the number of our patients increases, this means their financial capabilities also increase.
Are there purely medical indications when plastic surgery is necessary for a patient for health reasons?
In a general sense, there are no clear indications for operations in aesthetic medicine. The intervention always takes place by agreement on possible changes between the patient and the surgeon. The main goal is to obtain an aesthetic result. Naturally, taking into account all possible factors, we must minimize the risk of harm to the patient’s health. People who undergo surgery with us must be fully examined, chronic diseases (if any) must be in the stage of compensation. We must also think about the functional side of the intervention. For example, during rhinoplasty, breathing is primarily taken into account, and not just the shape of the nose. Sometimes girls with very small noses come to us and complain that they are forced to breathe through their mouths, they say that the shape of the nose is no longer important, it is important to breathe normally. Function and aesthetics are always intertwined. It is important first of all not to cause harm. Other plastic surgeries have less impact on health. There may be complications in the form of suppuration and bleeding, but we do not interfere with body functions in the long-term postoperative period. As for specific indications for operations, we are talking about plastic and reconstructive surgery. For example, breast reconstruction after cancer. Here we are dealing with both medical and psychological indications. For example, large breast asymmetry can lead to problems with the spine, so the operation is rational.
Do you yourself try to keep yourself in good shape and take care of yourself? Indeed, in aesthetic medicine, the appearance of the doctor is also important.
Today there are agencies that work on the image of surgeons and other aesthetic medicine specialists. I don’t use their services, I take care of myself and dress the way I like. I can’t say that I specifically strive to look beautiful for my patients. I just stick to a healthy lifestyle. I train in the gym twice a week, sometimes I run, and I like to snowboard in the mountains. As for nutrition, I don’t try to adapt to the advice, but on the contrary, I adapt the advice to myself, listening to my body. For example, I don’t understand how you can eat at 10 pm and then feel good.
If one of your friends or relatives comes for a consultation and asks for an operation, will you agree?
I believe that this is absolutely normal and is determined primarily by the person’s desire, his assessment of the need for such intervention, taking into account possible side effects, the pros and cons of a particular operation. Moreover, I performed rejuvenation operations on several relatives and I believe that there is nothing beyond the bounds of reason in this either. Each person decides for himself. The surgeon does not persuade the patient; on the contrary, in aesthetic medicine the patient must persuade the surgeon. This is the only way we understand that he is ready. If the doctor, based on his experience and views, imposes any actions on the patient, and the patient is not ready for them, then the operation will not be successful. The patient will begin to think: why did I need this, I just wasted my money...
Were there such cases?
This happens. A patient comes for a breast augmentation, which in itself is a serious intervention, and the surgeon says: you don’t have a waist, let’s correct it here and there, insert implants, uses epithets that are incorrect from the point of view of a doctor, or any person. And people can fall for it. In such cases, it is no longer so much medicine as a banal sale of services. I don't like this approach. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the client’s wishes, and in the process of discussing the work plan, you can suggest something, but do not impose your understanding of beauty.
Women very often think that all failures in life, including personal ones, are associated with appearance. I'll enlarge my breasts, fix my nose, turn into a beauty - and everything will work out...
We don't fix our personal lives. If a potential patient invests in the operation not only money, but also the desire, for example, to return or find a man, yes, sometimes we will help. But we cannot guarantee this. Sexuality and smooth body contours are important, but for us the best patient is the one who undergoes surgery for the purpose of beautification. For example, a girl who has a professional interest in looking more attractive goes to the hairdresser and discusses her hairstyle with him. The same applies to plastic surgery and breast augmentation. It's just that the consequences are much more serious. Breast augmentation itself will not replace or change other aspects of life without working on them. Aesthetics can only be an additional advantage, but not a reason.
On the street, in a store, noticing some shortcomings in the appearance of others, do you note to yourself what you could correct or improve?
There are “screaming” deformities of the nose and jaw that obviously require correction. And as a specialist, I see that with fairly little effort, this correction will lead to a radical improvement in appearance. For example, a small chin. Chin augmentation is not a very radical intervention, but it harmonizes the entire face and visually reduces the size of the nose, although we will not touch the nose at all. Naturally, I do not hand out business cards on the street and do not allow myself to give advice to passers-by. Most of the time, when I'm not at work, I treat others like any other person.
Would anything be corrected in my appearance?
You need to start with the question: what worries you? If the answer is “nothing,” then all questions disappear by themselves. I am not the leader here, the patient and I are partners, I implement the request if it coincides with my aesthetic preferences. The result of plastic surgery is the product of joint work between the patient and the surgeon. For example, you came to me with a question - I will advise and can do one thing; If you go to another doctor with the same question, he will suggest something else. The patient’s task is to choose one of the options. Maybe both will make you more beautiful, maybe not. It depends on who is evaluating. For example, I don't like big breasts. I won't even do augmentation surgery if the result is unacceptable to me.
What if both the woman and her husband want this?
As a man, I prefer neat breasts. This is my personal taste, and as a surgeon I should also be satisfied with the result of my work. I don't know how to make huge breasts look beautiful. How can I finish the operation if I don't see it as beautiful? If we're doing a nose, I look at it 10 times. If I don’t like it, I finish it, redo it. It’s the same with my breasts, I’ll stand there and think: this is some kind of disaster. It is absolutely normal that, after talking to me, someone will say: he doesn’t understand anything, I need another doctor. This is not a store where you can buy noses, breasts or ears. And this is not a conveyor belt. We want to get satisfaction from our work. In any case, this is medicine, this is a serious intervention.
Have you heard ridicule from fellow surgeons - “we save lives, but what use are you?”
Yes, sometimes I hear such remarks addressed to me. However, judging by the demand, there is a benefit. Some colleagues from other areas of surgery naively believe that everything is simple in plastic surgery. What’s so difficult about “putting in an implant”? Meanwhile, according to statistics, about a third of patients undergo repeated operations after breast augmentation!
Are there cases when, having undergone an operation, you yourself understand that it was better to refuse from the very beginning?
Happens. As a rule, these are people who are always dissatisfied with the result and will finish and redo something. Dysmorphophobia among plastic surgeon patients occurs with a frequency of up to 10–15%. It is important to notice such people already at the consultation stage. No matter how hard we try, they will always be unhappy. And no matter how much they want, we will not be satisfied. Such a dissatisfied patient takes up time, carries negativity, and requires additional decisions to be made. You need to be absolutely honest and be careful with patients who do not want to think about complications. They don't understand that everything is serious.
You often take part in international conferences and attend forums outside the country. Can you call the level of plastic surgery in Belarus decent?
Surgeons in Belarus master techniques that are used throughout the world. We perform adequate operations with good results. Of course, it all depends on the specific doctor. Ultimately, patients shape the surgeon's practice: if he performs many successful operations, for example, to correct the shape of the nose, then the information spreads among clients through social networks. And the surgeon will be busy with noses, and will rarely do breast work. But in general, I would trust Belarusian surgeons to perform operations, and the patient should choose his doctor, taking into account education, experience, work results and impressions of personal contact.
What would you change about your appearance?
Nothing yet.
