Andrey Iskornev: “I can confidently say that this is love”

Childhood and youth

Iskornev Andrey Aleksandrovich was born on September 6, 1984 in Moscow . Andrey’s father, Alexander Petrovich Iskornev , is a military man, his mother, Marina Anatolyevna , is an economist. My grandfather was a surgeon; he worked in a military hospital. My maternal grandmother was also a doctor. Grandfather and grandmother never took the boy with them to work, but sometimes they brought interesting hospital instruments home, and Andrei was very interested in this.

Andrey Iskornev in childhood

In addition to medicine and biology, the young man was interested in sports and programming. However, the love for these activities was very superficial and quickly ended.

While still a schoolboy, Andrei felt his calling and decided that he would become a surgeon . But everyone knows that studying medicine is very difficult, therefore, as soon as Andrei realized his calling, he had to become an excellent student at school, he especially tried in the subjects of biology and chemistry. In the 10th grade, Andrei took places at school competitions in biology. The young man’s goal was to enter a good medical university.

Five best plastic surgeons in Moscow according to “Beauty”

Anastasia Podenko

Igor Bely

Igor Bely

Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor, operating surgeon at the Ottimo clinic with more than 20 years of experience, certified trainer of Allergan (USA), Igor Bely graduated from medical university with a degree in general medicine - surgery, after which he specialized in laser and aesthetic surgery. Since 2004, she has been an official certified trainer for the use of Botox. Conducts advanced training courses in the use of Botox using the author’s “Living Face” method at the Allergan training center. In 2007 he defended his doctoral dissertation on modern technologies of rhinoplasty. Surgeon Bely's main areas of expertise are aesthetic rhinoplasty, facial plastic surgery, breast replacement and abdominoplasty. The doctor looks at the problem of rejuvenation strategically: he believes that it is the combination of plastic methods and modern laser technologies that makes it possible to most effectively solve aesthetic problems of appearance - both congenital and associated with the aging of the body. Vast practical experience in correcting the area around the eyes proves that for the maximum effect of rejuvenating this area, it is not enough to use one “universal” blepharoplasty technique. This is always a complex of technologies and methods, as well as connecting neighboring areas - forehead, cheeks and temples. Only such an individual approach allows you to preserve facial expressions and not change the patient’s facial features.

Alexey Kotelevits

Alexey Kotelevits

Chief physician of the Klazko clinic, plastic surgeon with 20 years of experience. He graduated from the Kuban State Medical University with a degree in general medicine and a residency in surgery. Full member of the Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons of Russia (OPRESH), has a number of scientific works and publications. He worked for five years under the guidance of the famous plastic surgeon Igor Aleksandrovich Wulf, who helped shape Dr. Kotelevitz’s signature style. In addition to breast and abdomen plastic surgery, ideal liposuction, nose surgery and blepharoplasty, his patients note the effectiveness of check-lifting (lifting the mid-face area), the so-called endotin face lifting using the doctor’s own method.

In the past, major surgical interventions were required to address the significant signs of aging such as nasolabial folds, tear troughs, volume loss in the midface, molar bags, sagging cheeks and decreased cheekbone height. With a serious rehabilitation period, sometimes up to five to six months. Then a long-awaited new product appeared in aesthetic medicine - various “beauty threads” designed to rejuvenate the face without radical measures. But low-traumatic lifting techniques using threads cannot be fully called an alternative to surgery, since although they can solve a number of age-related problems, they still cannot cope with all the signs of aging and do not provide long-term results. Dr. Kotelevitz’s method combines the minimally invasiveness of thread technologies and the effectiveness of surgical intervention. This is a tightening procedure using Endotine microendoprostheses, which allows you to achieve results with literally little blood. The lift is carried out through a small local access, the doctor has the opportunity to effectively work with areas that were previously extremely difficult to correct, and in one short procedure solves a number of aesthetic problems.

Endotine endoprostheses are so-called fixation plates, which are inserted through a micro-incision in the temporal region or along the edge of the lower eyelid (depending on the correction zone), and move the deep subcutaneous layers in the direction opposite to the one in which they descended due to the laws of gravity . The procedure is not accompanied by bleeding, traces of the intervention disappear on the second day, and there is practically no rehabilitation period. After endotin lifting, connective structures begin to form under the skin, which reliably fix the tissue in a new position and do not allow it to sag in the future. Microendoprostheses are made of lightweight hypoallergenic material, the chemical composition of which is identical to human cells, due to which they are naturally eliminated from the body over time. This is a universal and multifunctional procedure, with its help you can lift the forehead and temporal area, lift the eyebrows, rejuvenate the midface, and also lift the chin and neck.

A real star - and not only of plastic surgery. At the age of 24, the doctor founded the Platinental Aesthetic Lounge clinic.

Graduated from the Russian Medical University. N.I. Pirogov with a degree in general medicine, residency at the Russian Scientific Center for Surgery named after. B.V. Petrovsky in the department of plastic, reconstructive and microsurgery. Received an MBA degree in medical business management, worked and studied in Atlanta, Paris, Milan, Lugano. Being a doctor from the millennial generation, he is distinguished by a creative approach to the profession and perfectionism in everything. As soon as the trend for harmonizing operations began to gain momentum, Andrey plunged headlong into this world of aesthetic perfection. “The American School of Plastic Surgery had a huge influence on me,” says the surgeon. “First there was an internship during residency, then longer trips, and this summer the last, third round: studying the ideal proportions of beauty through art. I trained at Yale University in painting and anthropometry. What did this give me? The first thing the teacher told us: learn to draw what actually is, and not what you think it should be. This is an absolutely surgical formulation, which I already quote to my residents in Moscow. In other words, don’t make your clients people you like, don’t change them—just make them younger.”

Vladimir Zlenko

Vishnevsky, specializing in surgery. He underwent professional retraining at the faculty of advanced training for doctors of the Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute named after. M.F. Vladimirsky in maxillofacial surgery, which allows him to masterfully work with the face. He was the first in Russia to master and introduce a unique body sculpting technique called Vaser. One of the main Vaser options is High Definition modeling: selective removal of the superficial fat layer. With the precision of a sculptor, the doctor carves ideal torsos with pronounced oblique abdominal muscles, abs and athletic chest for men, a narrow waist, an ideal back, slender hips and high buttocks for women. This approach is head and shoulders above conventional liposuction, which only works to eliminate fat. At the same time, in London Vaser is called a weekend procedure. Many patients schedule a session on the eve of weekends or holidays so that after two or three days they can return to their usual ri.

Revelations of a leading plastic surgeon: “Everyone we see in the frame is doing something to themselves”

“Big politicians” also resort to the services of plastic surgeons, but they do it very carefully and secretly Photo: evrazes.com

Plastic surgeon Andrei Iskornev was in Yekaterinburg for one evening, who today tailors the faces of the Russian political elite and show business stars to his taste. We briefly asked an international class expert and member of the international confederation IPRAS, who owns the Platinental clinic with branches in Moscow and Kazan, from his companion, TV star Tatyana Arno. He told URA.Ru what Ural officials prefer to change, why American politicians are successful, how the top officials of the Russian state hide their operations, how Russia will implement import substitution and why new sanctions are killing medicine.

“We have an extremely politicized region, with a bunch of politicians who, naturally, are very sensitive to their appearance and image. Have you ever had to deal with Ekaterinburg and Sverdlovsk politicians?

— In any case, there are a huge number of fairly high-ranking officials who are now located and live in Moscow, occupy high positions there and are proud that they are from Yekaterinburg. That is, these are people who worked here, in some large corporations, and then moved to the public service, and one way or another we are friends.

Andrey Iskornev is the author of one of the body parts of the singer Lolita Photo: Andrey Iskornev’s blog

- How do they find you?

— The world of plastic surgery is very intimate. And, as a rule, information about some specialists who are allowed to visit a person is passed on by word of mouth. What is called “word of mouth” in our world and, in my opinion, is a more revealing story than advertising in the media. If you open any glossy magazine, there is always a beauty section, there are some ratings of surgeons, often they are purchased. The topic of plastic surgery has long become a show business, and I am very pleased that I and my team, which I lead in Moscow and Kazan, are trying not to fall into this.

In addition, we take on some free charitable work from TV channels. And there is nothing wrong with informing through the media that there are clinics that are ready, within some limits, to provide free services in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery to those people who really need it. When it’s not just some whim of breast augmentation or nose remodeling, but a necessary reconstruction.

— Do you often encounter reconstruction that is really needed?

— In the minds of most people, plastic surgery has become a kind of easy genre, but in fact, aesthetic surgery is just one of the subdivisions of reconstructive plastic surgery. We helped patients after explosions in the metro, and the last patient we had (Andrei Malakhov from Channel One brought her to us) was injured during birth and at 30 years old looked 80. And as a result, my colleagues and I performed a very complex reconstructive operation that allowed her to become more social. Because this is not a whim, but a means to return people to society. Of course, we earn most of our money from aesthetic plastic surgery, and this allows us to engage in some kind of charity.

— In my opinion, aesthetic surgery is mostly breasts, lips and butts. Is there anything else? Several years ago, the most unusual thing to me seemed to be the removal of ribs from the singer Cher...

— Everyone is interested in texture: Cher’s ribs, the rejuvenation of the elbows of some actress or the anal bleaching of a famous musician, etc. There are a lot of such stories, but people are not stupid either. And now even provincial girls who come to Moscow with the desire to find a rich husband understand that boobs don’t solve the problem. For example, operations such as the removal of Bisha's lumps are now gaining great popularity. This is when this lower third of the face narrows a little...

- So they are not already removing teeth?

- No, no one removes teeth anymore. If you look at Western Europeans, their faces are all a little triangular. We are people closer to Asia, typically with round and oval face shapes. But now I have noticed a lot of 30-35 year old men and women who fly a lot, communicate with the West and are also trying to bring themselves a little in line with some European standard.

The main and very interesting trend now is harmonizing surgery. There are many peculiarities of how to operate on a politician, how to operate on a show business star, how to operate on a young patient so that he or she looks more harmonious and Europeanized. And everyone has accents. If you look at Hillary Clinton, she certainly could look even younger given the opportunities she has. But she looks fit, neat and about 50, although she is a little older. This is intentional. Because if she looks like the same Glen Close, conventionally, then everyone will pay attention to her plastic surgery and be distracted from her political program.

— Is there a different approach to show business stars?

If we are talking about an aging superstar who is used to being very beautiful, making money with her looks (her face is her job) and we understand that it is a tool, then yes, we work a little differently here. Then this is a story about how to change time, how to look 35-40 at 60. And this is also normal, because now the speed of life is completely different. And a huge number of people by the age of 50 only achieve some success and financial harmony and realize that inside they are 30, but on the outside they look completely different from how they feel. Therefore, such women, with the help of anti-aging surgery, regain their youth, which they spent, for example, on something else.

You won’t find photographs of politicians whose faces Iskornev applied a scalpel to on his blog: plastic surgery is an intimate thing

Photo: Andrey Iskornev’s blog

— At what age, by the way, do these same representatives of show business, politicians and others start coming to you?

— Around 30. Girls used to get their breasts and noses done if nature didn’t endow them with them. If at 22-23 they go and pump so much that it is unrecognizable - this is not always a problem for patients. Often this is also a problem for those specialists who do this. They inject hyaluronic acid at hairdressers, or invite home-based cosmetologists, who just want to inject more and at a low price. We are fighting this. Both the Russian Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Department of Plastic Surgery of the Russian State Medical University, headed by Natalya Manturova, are also actively fighting this.

Now the implants have changed. And in the last five years, I've known very few girls who [pouts lips]. By the way, I now have a huge influx of ladies who are having their lips made smaller. Because it used to be fashionable to insert silicone fillers, which then look like you were sucked into a drain, and girls then surgically remove this to look like a lady, and not you know who.

- We have vivid examples in Yekaterinburg - socialites. The girls looked really beautiful at first when their lips were slightly pumped up, but they didn’t stop in time, and now they have two blotches on their faces.

“You know that it all starts with one spoon of sugar and ends with two doses a day.” You understand that it is very difficult to grow old as beauties. Here you just need to listen to the experts and trust them. So you came to me, everything is fine with you, and I will tell you that I will not do anything. I won't tell her to go to others, but she will go anyway.

- Complications from the most popular operations of preening girls - have they been reduced to nothing today?

— In fact, everyone has long proven that implants do not have any effect on oncology, but on the contrary: women who get them simply do the same mammography, ultrasound more often and detect cancer more often. Because people just take care of themselves. And the fact that implants do not cause cancer has been studied in America for probably 30 years. For your lips, you should pick up the sticker from the drug you were injected at the end of the procedure so you know what you were injected with, when, and how much. There is no need to pretend to be a fool: “Oh, I trust you, do what you think is beautiful!” You need to delve into the process. And take responsibility for your life - then you will not have any complications.

— To change yourself, there are things besides the surgeon’s scalpel - these are now safe drugs and technologies?

— Again, it depends on the hands of the person who does it all. For example, anesthesia has now become much safer. If previously many operations required patients to endure, now everything is done under light medicated sleep. It’s all non-toxic, safe, a person falls asleep and wakes up two hours later at home. Lasers have appeared that make it possible to do some work much faster and more sterile; some injectable drugs and fillers have appeared that have become non-toxic and dissolve in a safe way. That is, a lot of materials that make plastic more accessible and safe.

In the days of Soviet actresses, when the first beauty institute was opened and Lyubov Orlova had her first lift, it looked like this: the girl had a lift and everything was pulled in one direction. And now we are talking about a three-dimensional facelift, when all this is not pulled in one direction, but each zone is tightened in its own direction.

— I heard that mitochondrial rejuvenation is gaining momentum among VIPs.

- There is such a thing. This is an enzyme called telomirase - a drug that slightly affects the rate of cellular DNA renewal. And the main technologies are now aimed at such high-quality centralized rejuvenation. This is a drug that makes the cell age more slowly and renew itself faster. Because all we are made of are cells.

— Are stem cells still used in rejuvenation procedures?

- They are used perfectly. But for some reason they talk about stem cells only in the field of plastic surgery, when stem cells are actually one of the most powerful tools in cardiology, neurology and restorative medicine. The most powerful developments in the field of stem cells do not concern plastic surgery. We get, rather, only their fragments. And they are used in the treatment of leukemia, heart attacks, etc. When these cells allow the scar tissue of the heart muscle to be replaced with new cells. Why not? If you have a choice: either after a heart attack you are left with a scar on your heart, or the cells, like a patch, replace this tissue with new one, then this is very good.

The ethical component is also very important here. Many people confuse stem cells with embryonic cells, with cells taken from the human placenta. There's a lot of scientific confusion here, and in the minds of the average person, these are all the same stem cells, and it's kind of harmful because you don't know what's going to happen. In fact, it has long been known what will happen. They have more or less already learned how to operate them, but these are very expensive developments that are not yet available to everyone. But I am sure that this is the future. Now there are even printers that can print some fragments of internal organs from stem cells. This is all at the development level, but I would not be surprised if in 10-15 years we will have printers that print artificial skin from stem cells. Why not?

— Do you have an exclusively medical education? My colleague and I had an argument: should an aesthetic surgeon, who is partly a sculptor, have at least a semi-art education?

— I have a medical education and a business education in the field of medical management. At the same time, I draw well, yes. But I don't think that's the point. The techniques in surgery are essentially more or less the same, and they are all described. We attend all sorts of events... By the way, a brilliant congress is taking place in Yekaterinburg, which was first organized by the late Professor Nudelman and which was attended by both Russian and American surgeons. The difference between a good and average plastic surgeon is aesthetic sense. It's like taste: you can be a good dressmaker, or you can be a brilliant fashion designer.

— A separate block is a gender change. Do we do such operations?

- Undoubtedly. Gender reassignment surgery is a very serious and big story. First, you must understand that this is not some kind of whim. These are people diagnosed with transsexualism, nuclear form. And there are two options: either the person will jump out of the window at some point, or he will bring himself into line with the gender in which he recognizes himself. These are not homosexuals, not transvestites, but people who, from childhood, from the age of 5-6, feel themselves in another body. And before undergoing such an operation, they undergo a very tough and lengthy detailed psychiatric commission, which actually conducts an examination that this is not some kind of psychiatric disorder, but really a diagnosis.

I completed my residency in the department of Academician Milanov - this is our greatest plastic surgeon, who was engaged in successive gender reassignment operations. And I want to say that in Russia there are crazy developments in this regard. We carry out gender reassignment operations that have no analogues at the world level. But they're just not sponsored that way. All this, of course, comes down to money. Previously there was a quota, but now not so much, as far as I know.

But the point is that when a patient comes and already has a legal basis to perform such an operation, the surgeon agrees to perform it on the principle of minimum sufficiency. That is, if a boy wants to become a girl, then not all stages are done at once, but only some - in the hope that at some stage he will stop and this will be psychologically acceptable for him. That is, the operation does not always begin immediately with the removal of the penis or uterus. Because (again) some operations are very traumatic, and some not so much. Therefore, this is a very big international problem, a diagnosis that plastic surgeons deal with.

— Are there many transvestites in Russia?

- Yes, there are a lot of such patients, you just don’t notice them. Transsexuals are not some American Amanda Lepur who undresses in public and shows her tits on stage. And this, for example, will be a lady standing at a bus stop in a gray sheepskin coat, inconspicuous, without any special features. Usually such people change cities, get married, and the husband does not always know. They then undergo treatment for a long time, as if for infertility, and then they simply adopt a child and live as a harmonious family. And no one ever knows about it.

By the way, there are statistically more operations when a woman turns into a man in our country. Everything is clear there: by the neophallus, that is, by the newly modeled penis, of course, it is usually noticeable. But there it is different, there the psychological satisfaction of such a man is that he can satisfy his female partner as a man. That is, they usually live on testosterone.

- Sorry for the intimate question - is it worth it?

— There are prosthetics that allow it. This, by the way, is also used in men who suffer from impotence. But this problem exists more in the brain. There is a special pump in the scrotum. And there are also operations that make it possible to transfer the sciatic nerve in this way to the neophallus in order to experience sensory sensations. Not everyone succeeds, but it happens. And this is already a complex reconstruction.

There are many ways to make yourself more beautiful, and not all of them involve “hyaluronic acid” applied to the lips or a scalpel Photo: colorface.ru

— What is the price of becoming a woman from a man and vice versa? Approximately. Are these millions of rubles?

— Somewhere around 1 million, probably. It all depends on the implant. You must understand that the singer who participated in Eurovision underwent surgery for a much larger amount to look the way she does now. And if this is some kind of minimal adaptation and a woman simply removes her breasts, her uterus, reconstructs her neophallus, does some kind of muscularizing surgery on her face, then it doesn’t cost that much. It is clear that this cannot cost 50-60 thousand - this is a fact, because there is a consumable material that, fortunately, is not produced in Russia. We buy this in America, and although it is now unpatriotic, factories there have been producing breast implants for 30 years.

— I was told here about our clinics that purchase anti-cancer injections from Russia and only increase mortality, while drugs purchased abroad give hope for remission.

— Yes, this is a big controversial issue that needs to be raised. And when they say that they will not purchase any medicines now, this will, of course, be a great tragedy for our country. I also believe that generics and antibiotics... All patients buy thyroxine in Europe. Those who fly are middle class. And I don’t understand why there is such a problem with L-thyroxine, which in general is not difficult to synthesize. But the effect they get from a pill bought in Paris is different from ours.

— Is this a disaster for you?

- Yes. Because the anesthesiologists and I have virtually no components other than narcotic drugs that are used in Russian-made anesthesia. So that the patient falls asleep, and wakes up an hour later and writes SMS - this is all done using foreign medicines. The bandages that I use during the facelift process - again. Now it’s unfashionable to talk about this, but I say: the Russian napkin is falling apart in my hands and it’s all tattered, all in pieces, and can no longer be used. Or I take an expensive German one, and I can use it for half an operation, and it doesn’t fall apart, it’s stitched. And I don’t understand why you can’t make a quality product, why make some kind of crap? And again, I understand perfectly well that in private practice we can afford to buy such expensive medicines and materials, and if you go to the emergency room, then God forbid that they have bandages and antibiotics there.

— Import for private clinics may also be limited.

“And it makes me very angry.” That's why I actually work in private practice - intentionally. Because I want to be able to use the best medicines, tools, and I want to attend conventions all over the world. And I don’t want to save on my knowledge, which I then sell to my patients. But I pay money for it, and it’s no secret. And if you have already gone down this path, then you must be the best at it, and not just plug holes.

— Our elite, whatever one may say, has not become catastrophically impoverished.

— I don’t like this story about the elite at all. Because these people's operations are no different. You can’t imagine how much I hate the stars when they come to me with their show-offs. A serious star never shows off, because these are hard workers who live in very harsh conditions. And if this is some kind of upstart, then the exit is in the same place as the entrance. I have a totalitarian regime here in the clinic. I can't stand it. Because you trust me and should take the pill exactly after 12 hours, and not after 13. Because, God forbid, you will then go to Channel One to tell Malakhov that you were treated incorrectly. I don't have any democracy here.

— Remember which administration people come to you from more often—the regional or the city?

- I will not say. They pay me money for this so that I don’t say such things. True, many people come from Yekaterinburg. I understand that you are very interested in all this, but believe me, patients from Yekaterinburg are no different from others. Everyone has the same goals: people want to look well-groomed and fit. And this is a completely standard package - facelift, endoscopic forehead lift, rhinoplasty, injections.

- I look at you: a wonderful young man, without bags under his eyes...

“Everything has long been cut out, removed and tightened up.” I use everything! And I’m not ashamed to talk about it.

— I wanted to understand what you would change in every second?

— I would change the weight. Stop eating, my dears! Because the cheapest way to look young is to have a good and correct weight. Being thin is actually useful in terms of atherosclerosis, hypertension, which suddenly appears in all 30-year-olds. And I would first of all deal with this, and only then, as I stop liking something, I need to solve it using other methods.

— Now the most popular disease is cancer, which somehow unexpectedly began to grow.

— There are many factors for this. Look: every second person in our country does not remove a cigarette from their mouth. Smoking is banned all over the world, but here we are like fools. And you can’t prohibit it here: you just have to admit to yourself that if you smoke, then you are a smoker. If you drink half a bottle of wine every day, then you are an alcoholic. You can tell stories about how great the Italians or the French drink, but they drink a maximum of 100 ml a day and with good food, and everything else is alcoholism. And we don’t promote sports among young people at all. By the way, I recently talked with Irina Rodnina, and they will also be doing this now, and I support them. Maybe, of course, the story of the GTO sounds a little Soviet, but the fact that sports need to be returned to the masses and educational culture is very important. Here's cancer for you: what we eat, what we drink, how we spend our free time. You choose your sexual partners, so why don't you choose what goes into your mouth from a plate of food?

— We recently chose the next annual beauty standard - Miss Yekaterinburg. What is your benchmark? Of course, after Tatiana Arno, with whom you were spotted here in Yekaterinburg.

— I like Katya Gracheva, presenter from Russia-24. Very beautiful girl. For many young girls in Moscow, I know, the standard is the head of our state.

— By the way, about the top officials of the state. You can’t convince me that they don’t do some anti-aging things for themselves. I want to understand: from your point of view, they do it all skillfully, beautifully? And where - in the clinics of one patient?

“Some of the public figures are doing this outside the country so that there is simply no leakage of information, but I am sure that everyone we see in the frame is doing something to themselves. This is definitely true. It’s just that some people do it in an easy way, others in a “serious” way. And that's okay.

— Well, our politicians traditionally go to Israel or Germany to treat cancer...

- You know, I would also go to Israel for cancer treatment, although it sounds terrible, of course. I just think that some areas in our country still need additional investments and specialists. There are brilliant Russian oncologists, and there are excellent centers that do this, but sometimes in a stressful situation it is simply impossible to find them. And statistically, my patients who have the opportunity to leave fly there to treat these problems.

— A couple of names, who are the luminaries of modern Russian medicine for you?

— I believe that Leonid Mikhailovich Pechatnikov was originally a general practitioner.

A young, brilliant surgeon Volodya Nosov, an oncogynecologist, works in the oncogynecology department of a private medical center in Moscow. And I think he is already famous and will be a superstar in the future. Very talented. So yes, they are cool. I have a whole book where I write down simply the best of the best - there are already about 50 people. And with some of us we really can’t stand each other, but I still give them their contact information because I know that there is no one better.

— How to choose a clinic and surgeon?

— I think that you need to listen to your intuition. There is no competition between plastic surgeons at all, because each patient will choose his own doctor. And if you choose a plastic surgeon, then don’t be too lazy to visit several. You will 100% coincide with someone in terms of beauty, but you won’t like someone very much. And listen to yourself - this is normal. And maybe even one and the other will perform the operation normally, purely technically. But with one you will recover quickly, and with the other slowly. Therefore, it seems to me that psychological contact is very important here.

— Some of my colleagues have in mind that now they will turn 35 (and some are already 40-45) and they will simply be forced to rush to plastic surgeons.

Plastic surgery is about self-confidence. You need to use it exactly until you reach 100% self-confidence. This is the story of Barbra Streisand's nose, which is already the talk of the town. Some people can make a cult out of their nose, but others cannot, because they lack charisma and self-confidence. Well, operate on that poor nose and become your own star. This is what we work for.

Personal life

The handsome, young and successful surgeon Andrei Iskornev not only independently made a brilliant career, but also created for himself the image of a socialite and a fatal macho. Looking at his face, you can tell that he also resorted to plastic surgery to make himself even more attractive. Andrei himself does not deny that he had surgery on his nose.

Participation in the reality show “The Bachelor” cemented Andrei’s image as a heartthrob. After all, the finale of the program was very ambiguous. Iskornev at the end of the program stayed with a girl named Anya Kozyr , and after a while he returned to his other passion - Irina Skorikova .

The doctor himself spoke in an interview about a certain girl Irina or Irena, with whom they had a long affair, which stopped, and then flared up again. Iskornev speaks enthusiastically about Irina, praising her personal qualities. It is known that the girl also works in the field of plastic surgery.

Not long ago, a strange photo appeared on a doctor’s Instagram where he was sitting in the courtyard of his house and holding a newborn baby in his arms. There was no signature under this post, and it caused a big reaction from Andrey’s followers. But Iskornev did not give any comments to this publication. However, there is unverified information on the Internet that Andrei was married and had a son. And also evil tongues say that the surgeon has an unconventional orientation.

Andrey Iskornev: “I can confidently say that this is love”

Enough time has passed, and a girl with whom he is already connected by a common past has returned to Andrei Iskornev’s life. “We have both changed a lot. I think that these are positive changes that influenced this come back...” admits Iskornev.

Andrey, your heart is not free again... Share who she is? The girl's name is Irina again, although I call her Irena. It so happened that this was a reunion after 8 years of separation and an even longer friendship. Ira and I lived together when we were both studying at universities. Then we started working together, Ira was my assistant then. Then we broke up, she went to work as a producer for a large publishing company, and returned a few years later. We started talking and working again. This time, Ira, with her experience, headed the marketing and IT departments at my Platinental clinic. And it turned out that the work romance again turned into life.

Tell me how you got back together? Ira and I have always been very similar. This was clear from the first days of our acquaintance. And a sense of humor, and perception of the world, beauty... and everything! We are sociable, although sometimes we are a little misanthropic, we notice certain things in the same way, we say the same thing at the same time. This is exactly the case when everything became clear from the very beginning.

Why did you break up 8 years ago? We lived together for a year. Life was quite difficult; we rented a small one-room apartment in a very strange house. We nicknamed it the “round house” because of its donut shape. (This is a project of the 80s, when in Moscow they wanted to create several such houses, the number of Olympic rings, but only one was built.) It was not even a one-room apartment, but some kind of “half-room” apartment. Our kitchen could only fit two people and an ironing board. And it was an amazingly fun time! We were always joking around, still managing to invite guests. And once we almost got a French bulldog, which the owner refused. Then she came to her senses and took the dog, but during these two days the dog smashed the apartment to smithereens. (Now my Labrador Barbie occupies a special room the size of our apartment.) Then it turned out that we broke up. I won’t go into details, it was difficult and difficult. But gradually we reestablished contact. Apparently, we needed this time to gain life experience...

They didn't talk about the wedding

Were there any doubts about whether to rekindle the relationship? Did not have. Everything turned out so logical and natural! Ira courageously supported me after the end of my television novels. When I returned to my normal life and schedule, we no longer had time for these memories. They wrote about us on the Internet before the start of the project in Ukraine, but everything there was not true: we have no children, and we have never been married.

Do you think this is your true love? I am so careful with this word. Probably for the first time I can say with confidence that it is she.

Are you living together now? Let's live. Ira spends a lot of time with me outside the city, and I increasingly take her on my professional trips. But at the same time, we each enjoy spending a couple of days a week on our own territory. I think we need to take a little break from each other.

Is your girlfriend jealous of your fans or Irina Skorikova? Irene is one of those who absolutely do not care what happens to me within the framework of some kind of social life. We have an understanding of a fortified house, and everything external is often just a reason for jokes. Of course, she is not jealous of Ira Skorikova. By the way, she now has a well-established personal life in Germany...

Does your current girlfriend want to marry you? Are you thinking about getting married? We haven't talked about this yet. I don't know, really. About children - yes. What about the wedding? Let's see…

Does your mother already want to become a grandmother? Yes, he wants it too much.

Ira is not a two-meter blonde, so you still like normal women? Ha ha! Normal Russian women, tell me more! For me, external beauty is more of an acquired taste. The main thing is to have something to decorate. And Irene has a stunning face, shining eyes, lips (her own, by the way). He may not be two meters tall, but that’s really not my fetish.

Have you already had a hand in correcting something in your beloved’s appearance? We adhere to the rule that we need to solve a problem as it arises. Yes, working in the plastic surgery industry in the most fashionable and influential clinic in the country, we are not above maintaining something within ourselves. For now, at the injection level, then we’ll grow old and tell you how we spent the first two weeks after the circular lift... (Smiles.)

How do you congratulate Irina on March 8? If you knew how we spent February 14th, having accidentally ended up in Bangkok at night... I think on March 8th we will fly somewhere again.

What would you wish our readers for the holiday of March 8? Dear girls, remember: you are what you make of yourself. Don't be lazy to be bright, charismatic and desirable. Radiate only goodness and positivity, never get hung up on problems - and you will be the happiest!
