Breast augmentation remains the most in-demand plastic surgery among Russians, according to Sherali Dzhamilov, head of mammology and reconstructive plastic surgery at Medscan Hadassah.
Speaking to news outlet Lenta.ru, Dzhamilov explained that modern surgical approaches are changing alongside patient preferences, with surgeons now tailoring gentle tactics based on tissue quality, anatomy, and lifestyle.
Dzhamilov said that evaluating the size of the future breast is only one part of modern surgical planning. Surgeons must examine individual anatomical features and physical condition before deciding on an intervention strategy.
Lenta.ru, a Moscow-based news organization, reported the comments by Yulia Sycheva as part of an ongoing focus on healthcare and medical procedures in Russia.
Surgical Duration and Patient Safety
The mammologist surgeon noted that completing a procedure in 30 minutes is a realistic benchmark for experienced doctors in standard cases. However, he emphasized that surgical speed is never an end in itself, and that patient safety remains the primary priority.
Dzhamilov explained that the exact duration of an operation depends on the specific clinical situation, anatomical traits, chosen surgical technique, and whether additional manipulations are necessary.
He also dismissed the myth that shorter surgical procedures are less safe for patients. In fact, minimizing time in the operating room offers distinct medical advantages because tissue faces less stress and shorter exposure to general anesthesia.
Pre-operative evaluations typically assess tissue elasticity and chest structure to decide whether implants should be placed above or beneath the chest muscle.
Surgical Techniques and Clinical Background
Breast augmentation, medically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast volume and reshape contours. The intervention often involves silicone implants, saline implants, or fat transfer methods, selected according to patient needs.
Medscan Hadassah operates within Russia as part of an international clinical partnership, combining advanced oncological care, diagnostic services, and reconstructive plastic surgery. The department of mammology focuses specifically on breast health, covering both reconstructive and aesthetic procedures.
General anesthesia induces a temporary loss of consciousness during invasive operations, requiring continuous monitoring of vital signs. Minimizing time under anesthesia reduces physical strain on the body and supports post-operative recovery.
Medical Professional Habits
The advice from Dzhamilov follows earlier reports on health habits shared by medical workers on the Reddit discussion forum. In those forum posts, healthcare staff described personal routines they altered after encountering specific patient trauma cases.
One forum participant, identifying as a female surgeon, explained that she stopped wearing neck jewelry and driving badges to avoid risk of physical injury during medical procedures and vehicle travel.
