Plastic surgeon Blokhin: biography and scientific works

Sergei Blokhin is a domestic plastic surgeon who is known throughout the world. For the average resident, its price list may seem, to put it mildly, a little high. However, those who used the services at Sergei Blokhin’s clinic are satisfied with the quality of his service, and he has gained quite a lot of clients. And today, many literally stand in a huge queue for an appointment with Sergei and agree to wait for several months. It is known that his wife, Irina Blokhina, was also his patient at one time.

Childhood and youth

Sergei Nikolaevich was born in 1960 into a family of doctors. The profession of his parents predetermined his future path, but if his mother was an otolaryngologist and his father was a military doctor, then the son chose a specialization that was not the most obvious for a Soviet physician. After graduating from school, the young man left his native Petrozavodsk and went to Moscow, where he began to study at the Sechenov First Medical University.

After graduating from the university in 1986, the graduate went to residency at the Oncology Center, where he began to practice reconstructive surgery. Sergei’s boss and mentor, academician Nikolai Blokhin, sent the young man abroad, where he mastered advanced experience in the field of plastic surgery. Returning from Germany and Brazil, he resumed work at the center and also began research work. In 1992, Blokhin became a candidate of medical sciences, defending his dissertation “Breast Reconstruction.”

After 8 years, Sergei Nikolaevich received his Doctor of Science degree, continuing to develop his previously chosen topic. At the same time, he improved his skills as a plastic surgeon, performing hundreds of operations a year.

Sergei Blokhin's wife - photo

The doctor is not only a true professional in his field, but also a very charismatic man, which is why many women want to look at the photo of Sergei Blokhin’s wife. The personal life of the plastic surgeon is in perfect order - he is married. Sergei Blokhin and his wife met as teenagers, when she was only 13 years old, and immediately fell in love with each other. After some time, Sergei proposed to Irina, and they got married.

Sergei Blokhin and his wife have been living together for a long time and are still happily married. Irina Blokhina has a specialty as a pharmacist, and does not exclude the possibility that she entered medical school after her lover. Irina Blokhina is not embarrassed by the peculiarity of Sergei’s work, which is associated with the correction of body parts of female patients. She is confident in their mutual feelings, so she is not jealous of her husband either for his work or for his patients. When Irina was 42, she decided to undergo plastic surgery, which was, of course, performed by her husband.

At the same time, the initiative in carrying out the operation came from Sergei. And the point is not that he stopped liking his wife, but that the ideal appearance of a plastic surgeon’s wife should be a matter of course. Today, the couple have lived together for more than 30 years, but they try not to disclose other details of their personal life. Surely the spouses have children, but the general public does not know how many there are and who they are.

Perhaps interesting: the wife of Alexei Klimushkin, the wife of Aristarchus Venes.

Personal life

The personal life of the plastic surgeon was successful: he met his future wife in his youth. Irina Blokhina became a faithful friend and mother of his children. The woman’s profession is also related to medicine; she is a pharmacist by education. The wife resorted to the services of her husband, entrusting her beloved with a facelift. But he refused to operate on his daughter, entrusting rhinoplasty to his colleague Igor Vulf.

Sergei Blokhin and wife Irina Blokhina
My daughter also wanted to have her breasts enlarged, but her father opposed it. The man argued this decision by the features of the girl’s anatomy, which would prevent her from achieving the desired effect. But Sergei Nikolaevich cheats on stars a lot and willingly, and does not hide the names and details of the manipulations carried out on them.

P

I first heard about Sergei Nikolaevich Blokhin about a year ago, when I was just beginning to become interested in mammoplasty (this operation was not part of my personal plans at that time, which, however, did not prevent me from showing superficial curiosity). From the rumors it followed that this plastic surgeon does breast lift and mammoplasty very well, but does not do rhinoplasty at all. Thanks to the same curiosity (a negative trait I inherited from my grandmother), over the course of a year I managed to communicate with several of his patients, which only intensified this very curiosity. And so…

One of his patients, Anna, took charge of my acquaintance with Blokhin. Having told him about me, the site and the specifics of online communication, she achieved a response - the surgeon wanted to meet with me and, after personal communication, invite me to watch and photograph some operation. Anna and I agreed to go together: she for the examination and I for the meeting. (If you read all my stories about filming operations, you may get the impression that not a single plastic surgeon has ever seen Katya not sleepy. In general, this is not so far from the truth - for some reason, all the operations that I attend are Usually they take place either in the early morning or in the first half of the day. No, at 10-12 at night...:))

The examination was scheduled, naturally, for the morning, and the night before I did not manage to go to bed. In the car, as soon as I closed my eyes, I immediately fell asleep (don’t think that I was driving :)). Therefore, I entered the clinic in a state of “waiting mode,” and Anya and I sat in a cafe, trying to cheer up with coffee, while Blokhin talked with other patients. When he finally appeared at the end of the corridor, my brain gave the command “start” and I tried to feign energy and interest.

In life, Blokhin turned out to be absolutely the same as on the screen (before we met, I had already seen him in the first episode of the reality show “Formula of Beauty”): straightforward, sharp (“What’s wrong with your teeth?” he asked about my braces for the entire cafe, taciturn (but I could have a philosophical conversation on this topic) and a sense of humor not for vulnerable girls. The conversation was short, and the agreement was specific: in a week I will come to the same clinic (Blokhin works approximately four different ones) - photograph augmentation mammoplasty.

Two with access through the armpit and one through the areola. I drove with curiosity. After all, I have never seen such endoprosthetics as Blokhin promised me. And I, indeed, have never seen implants placed through the areola. I just heard the story of one of my friends, who has the most imaginative idea of ​​​​plastic surgery, how she saw “disgusting” on TV: the nipple is cut off, raised, an implant is pushed into this hole, and the nipple is sewn back into place. To be honest, this is also how I imagined this operation. But it turned out…

The first operation was supposed to be mammoplasty with installation through the areola, but I had to wait a little. Or rather, three hours until one of the operating rooms is free. The operating rooms in the clinic were impressive - very spacious (you can spin around the table as you like, climb on a stool, without getting close to the sterile table with instruments), with automatic doors and clearly the most modern equipment.

The patient (like the next two) is thin and has small breasts without ptosis (drooping). Blokhin explains that in her case the implant can be installed in combination, or under the gland, with access through both the areola and the armpit. Selects a combined installation with access through the areola. The patient had no preferences in this regard and completely relied on the surgeon (apparently she is not interested in the Internet).

An incision along the areola is made in a semicircle and then Blokhin begins to peel off the skin. It turns out that normal plastic surgeons never install an implant “through and through” through the areola, since this traumatizes the gland too much and can lead to damage to the milk ducts (which is what surgeons who do not know how to properly enlarge the breast in this way like to scare).

In fact, after the incision, the skin is detached down to the submammary fold (the place under the breast) and the gland rises there. That is, the implant is inserted in almost the same way as clearly when accessing under the breast, only without this obvious scar, since the distinctive feature of the areola access is that it heals almost without a trace, especially if it is covered with tattooing. The only inconvenience, according to Blokhin, is that from the nipple to the submammary fold, at the site of skin detachment, irregularities (small tubercles) may remain for some time, which resolve in about 4 months. Then everything is as usual. The gland is lifted, the muscle is “torn off” (which requires quite noticeable effort) and the implant is inserted. In this case, round Eurosilicon (Blokhin prefers to work with Eurosilicon and McGan). The operation takes place extremely quickly - in half an hour. I think it is unrealistic to install an implant through the areola faster. In ordinary sewing, painstaking work can be the key to quality, but not in plastic surgery. The faster (without compromising quality, of course) the surgeon works, the better the result of the operation and the easier the postoperative period.

Between operations that follow one after another, Blokhin has a consultation - the patient was two hours late, so she doesn’t have much time to talk. Blokhin takes me with him, introducing me as an assistant (a good assistant - she steps on her pants, which are tightened somewhere under her chest and the shoulders of her robe hang approximately in the middle of the shoulder). I modestly sit down on the couch by the window and look at the girl. Problems: ptosis, “empty” breasts, wide chest, thinness. Wants to increase to size 2. But Blokhin stops: “To fill out your breasts, you need to bring them to 2.5-3 sizes.”

The girl wants a combined installation: she read on the Internet that an implant with a similar installation descends more slowly. “This is nonsense,” Blokhin objects. – Descends at the same speed. There is no ideal setup - you have to choose what suits a particular person. You are shown an implant under the gland. If we put the upper edge under the muscle with your ptosis, then over time the breast will “drain” from the implant.” I’m tempted to tell you more about the “double bubble”, but it’s not polite for the “assistant” to interrupt the surgeon (with difficulty, but I remember it). Only anatomists recommend using McGan’s “matrix” in this situation. “Although anatomical implants can occasionally turn over (what causes this is not always clear, usually due to individual differences), in this case, the top of a round implant would be contoured too much.”

“What kind of access will there be?” - asks the husband present at the consultation. “In this case, you can only do it through the areola, but with your nipple color there will probably be little white scars that will be difficult to cover with a tattoo.” I have already noticed that Blokhin does not like to hide possible negative consequences from patients. “Can’t I see the photographs?” But Blokhin no longer has time - the second patient is on the table. “What will you see there. Anyway, I’ll show you only the best work, and you’ll never see identical cases to sculpt your breasts in the future.” Here I don’t entirely agree - sometimes the best people show such results that you immediately want to run out of the office. However, now the patient herself was to blame - she did not arrive at the appointed time.

The second patient is on the table - installation of round Euro-silicon implants through the armpit. During the operation, the radio is on, on which they constantly play advertisements for one of the well-known Moscow clinics: “I changed my appearance in just two hours - they pumped out the fat from my waist and placed it in my chest.” In principle, I can imagine how tempting this must sound for women who have little idea about plastic surgery: she has lost weight and everything in her breasts is natural. What happens after such manipulations, of course, will not be discussed in advertising. They may not even tell you at the surgeon’s appointment. Transferring a significant amount of fat causes inflammation, encapsulation of fat and its uncontrolled migration, as a result of which the breasts take on different (bizarre) shapes.

The second operation is also done in the shortest possible time, and we go out for a smoke - that’s about the time it takes to take the second patient out of the operating room and bring the third one. Along the way, mistaking me for a local nurse, one of the staff reprimands me for the lack of clean shoe covers in the tank... “So, maybe I can get you a job at the First Medical Center?” - Blokhin is interested. “Yeah, then by the end of it I’ll be able to pretend to be a student of the most famous plastic surgeons. True, with all the graduate studies, I will be about 40 years old.”

There are some difficulties with the third operation: due to the individual characteristics of the patient, she can only have an anatomical implant installed and only through the armpit. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is extremely difficult for the anatomist to place it through this access - it is almost impossible to understand whether he is in the correct position, being inside the chest. To determine this very position, all conventional anatomical implants have such a notch on the bottom. By feeling it, the surgeon understands where the middle of the implant is. But when installed through the armpit, you cannot touch the bottom of the implant. There is one way out for this situation - the Kamora implant from Eurosilicon. Its feature, designed specifically for this situation, is that the “notch” is made on top. This allows you to avoid an ugly (according to Blokhin) scar under the breast (the girl’s areola is too small).

The last operation was completed successfully. All together, including breaks between operations, it took only three hours. And I’m going home so physically exhausted, as if I had the operation myself. It’s scary to imagine how much endurance surgeons who constantly operate must have.

This is not a public offer! There are contraindications. Before use, consultation with a specialist is required.

Career

Blokhin began performing plastic surgery in the late 1980s, becoming a pioneer among surgeons practicing breast lift and augmentation. Specializing in mammoplasty and reconstructive surgery, the man became the author of monographs and articles published in Russia and abroad. He is the author of a patent for surgical treatment of breast cancer.

Sergei Nikolaevich also works with other parts of the body, successfully operating on patients with various needs. Together with Dr. Igor Wulf, Blokhin founded the Frau Klinik center for plastic surgery and cosmetology, which operates according to international standards.

Since 2014, the professor has become an expert on the Channel One show “10 Years Younger,” where participants come to get a makeover. The surgeon takes on the part associated with plastic surgeries that are performed in his clinic.

Department of Plastic Surgery

The Department of Plastic Surgery specializes in the treatment of tumor diseases of the mammary gland, and also deals with reconstructive plastic organ-preserving surgeries and preventive mastectomies for healthy women with the BRCA1-2 mutation with simultaneous reconstruction.

The staff of the department, led by Professor Vladimir Sobolevsky, became the first team of oncologists in the country to perform breast reconstruction for breast cancer. Since 2005, Russia has accumulated the greatest experience in performing operations using both synthetic materials (expanders and implants) and its own tissues (a complex of tissues from the hips, gluteal region and anterior abdominal wall). The surgical method is selected individually each time depending on the anatomical characteristics of the patient. The specifics of each case also determine whether reconstruction will be immediate or delayed.

The department's doctors are fluent in complex modern microsurgical techniques in reconstructive operations - taking blood-supplied tissue complexes from one area and transplanting them to another. Thanks to this, the risks of tissue rejection are eliminated as much as possible during the postoperative period.

Features of the department

• The department makes a special contribution to the development of continuing medical education of oncologists. The head of the department, Professor Vladimir Sobolevsky, is the initiator of annual courses on reconstructive surgery of the mammary glands. Courses are held twice a year, where oncologists from all over Russia can expand their knowledge through theoretical and practical classes. For many years, Vladimir Sobolevsky acted as the organizer of the major event Moscow Breast Meeting.

• One of the areas of the department is the correction of deformities after unsuccessful preservation and reconstructive operations in other clinics.

• In the department under the leadership of Vladimir Sobolevsky, a complex type of reconstructive plastic surgery is performed using the patient’s own tissue. Women receive not only beautiful breasts, but also abdominal plastic surgery.

• The department is a leader in performing preventive mastectomies - operations to remove healthy breasts in healthy patients with genetic mutations BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, TP53 and others. If these mutations are identified, there is no point in waiting for the disease to develop; it is reasonable to undergo “Angelina Jolie surgery.” Such operations are performed with simultaneous reconstruction of the mammary gland. Patients in need of prophylactic mastectomy are advised by the department's leading researcher, world-class expert Olga Vladimirovna Krokhina.
• For more than 15 years, the department has been working closely with the world's leading cancer centers - the Mayo Clinic in the USA, the Sant Pau Hospital in Spain and the London Clinic in the UK. The department's staff mastered microsurgical techniques in leading clinics in Japan and Germany.

Pilgrimage to the “golden hands”

Plastic surgeon Sergey Nikolaevich Blokhin has performed more than 25 thousand operations over his many years of practice! People come to him with their last hope and faith in his skill, wonderful hands and skillful, experienced look. Women who have lost faith in themselves and have missed out on their youth come to Blokhin’s clinic. They want to correct their shape, get rid of annoying features of their appearance, and remove sagging skin.

Patients can personally see that Blokhin’s clinic uses only the most modern equipment, and the work itself is carried out using the latest techniques in surgery and cosmetology. This allows you to guarantee excellent results and quick rehabilitation. Sergei Nikolaevich does not limit himself to one country. He trained in Brazil and founded a plastic surgery clinic with a partner.

Scalpel Master

In Petrozavodsk in 1960, a man was born who, over the years, made the lives of hundreds of his patients easier. This is plastic surgeon Sergey Nikolaevich Blokhin. He is known as a doctor of medical sciences, professor and one of those who was at the forefront of Russian plastic surgery. Blokhin is vice-president of the National Scientific Mammological Society. He founded the leading Plastic Surgery Center and was the first in the Union to perform breast lift and reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomy.

These facts alone are enough to remember the name of such a person, but plastic surgeon Blokhin is a real perfectionist who does not stop there. Each operation is a challenge that he meets in full readiness. He is results-oriented and works without rose-colored glasses. This approach to business allows him to clearly imagine possible achievements and stages of a long journey.

Work today

S. Blokhin’s scientific work takes place against the backdrop of operations in the clinic. Patients seeking the help of a plastic surgeon come here to solve their problems:

• correction of appearance defects;
• return of youth and attractiveness;
• corrections of unsuccessful consequences after operations.

The doctor’s experience, the use of innovative techniques and the medical institution’s compliance with international standards bring many people to the clinic who want to improve their appearance. In terms of popularity among clients, the wide range of Frau Klinik services is topped by the following surgical interventions:

• liposuction;
• face lifting;
• rhinoplasty;
• abdominoplasty;
• reduction and enlargement of mammary glands;
• blepharoplasty.

Doctors of various specializations work with patients of the clinic: surgeons, dentists, mammologists, gynecologists, anesthesiologists. Clients attend massage sessions and undergo cosmetic procedures.

After surgery, patients always receive good care at the highest level and counseling support to achieve speedy rehabilitation.

All this is possible thanks to qualified personnel, headed by specialists in their field, and the most modern equipment.

Are there any downsides?

Isn't Blokhin too good? The plastic surgeon also has negative reviews, but they can be divided into those related to Blokhin’s personality and the specifics of his work. Many are annoyed by the surgeon’s strong charisma, his hard gaze and animal magnetism. Blokhin is a very bright man, but unique. There is something otherworldly about him, as if he has supernatural powers.

Is such a person capable of good deeds? Some of the visitors are confused by the doctor’s appearance and his directness. He will not empathize and play the role of a psychologist, but he does his job competently. Some visitors to the clinic say that Blokhin is a good surgeon, but not the best plastic surgeon, that is, you shouldn’t go to him for beauty, but no one can challenge the doctor’s skill. That is, he is more of a reconstructive surgeon and not a plastic one.

What's on the "menu"?

Professor Blokhin is a plastic surgeon with a wide range of services offered. His main professional quality is the ability to win over. At the same time, he does not ingratiate himself or try to please, but on the contrary, he clearly and even a little gloomily draws prospects and focuses on possible risks. A high-quality operation will cost a decent amount, so clients immediately understand that serious people work here, determined to earn the money they receive.

Intimate plastic surgery in his clinic starts at a price of 75 thousand rubles. Liposuction will cost less – from 25,000 and above. Next in price growth is eyelid surgery. Although this is difficult, it is minor work, the prices for which “dance” from 80 thousand and up. Procedures involving abdominoplasty, facial surgery, buttocks and breast augmentation cost six figures.

Operations Performed

One of the areas of activity of Blokhin S.N. is breast surgery. He regularly performs breast augmentation using silicone implants, mastopexy (with and without augmentation), as well as reconstructive surgeries after partial and complete amputation of the breast using expanders and flaps, forming the nipple-areolar complex.

Among other operations, amazing results can be observed when he performs:

• all types of facelift (circular lift, endoscopic lift, SMAS lift, etc.);
• tummy tuck (abdominoplasty, mini-abdominoplasty);
• buttock augmentation using endoprosthetics;
• all types of liposuction and lipofilling on the face and body.

Many women turn to the Blokhin clinic for comprehensive body correction - body lifting, which allows you to give smooth contours to the figure, remove excess fat folds, tighten sagging abdominal skin, improve the aesthetics of the mammary glands, etc., which is especially important after childbirth. Make an appointment with the professor several months in advance!

Advantages of combined operations

1. One anesthesia - two or more operations. Anesthesiology has made great progress in recent years. And every day the myths about the dangers of anesthesia for the body are crumbling. However, every patient experiences anxiety right up to the operating room, and rarely does anyone want to go through anesthesia again. The ability to do everything you want at once is truly exhilarating.
2. One rehabilitation . The undeniable advantage of the combined operation. After the procedure, the patient receives comprehensive examinations, dressings, and will have one single postoperative recovery period, when all the swelling will go away and restrictions will become a thing of the past.
3. A profitable solution . As a rule, the total cost of an operation includes not only surgery, but also anesthesia, staying in a hospital room, flight and travel expenses, and staying in the city for 3–7 days, depending on the doctor’s testimony. Calculate for yourself how much money you can save by including 2-3 operations in one procedure.
4. "All at once!" A comprehensive transformation, double and even triple results are an ideal option for those who are hungry for change and want to see a new image in the mirror as soon as possible.
5. Priceless time! Consultation, preparation for surgery, check-up of the body, surgery, rehabilitation - all this will happen once. You will no longer need to look for an opportunity to go through this entire circle again, since a great result will be obtained the first time. All that remains is to enjoy life and do what you love.

His talents

Blokhin became a media plastic surgeon when he took part in the television project “Beauty Formula”. At the same time, he managed to head the NIKE-MED department, where, under his auspices, potential plastic surgeons and consultants learn science. In 2010, the doctor presented to the world the development of a technique for accelerated endoscopic breast enlargement with access through the armpit. This method reduced the operation time to 40 minutes.

The doctor’s achievements were appreciated by the whole world, because, in addition to Moscow, he sees patients in Germany and Cyprus. According to Blokhin himself, plastic surgery is an opportunity to bring people happiness and realize their dreams and desires. After the operation, patients begin to live anew, simply forgetting about past complexes and inconveniences. Surgery does not become a reason to refuse anything. On the contrary, a good surgeon gives a charge of positivity and helps you forget about your shortcomings. For Blokhin, the main advantage of the profession is precisely the opportunity to help people rejoice.
