Member of the International Association of Maxillofacial Surgeons A.A. Makarov (maxillofacial, plastic, reconstructive surgeon) has repeatedly trained abroad in the cities of Madrid (Spain), Vienna (Austria), Taipei (Taiwan).
The high professionalism of the doctors at the Gruzdev Clinic helps patients solve health problems and eliminate aesthetic defects.
The most popular service is breast correction.
According to statistics, over 50% of plastic surgeries are performed on the chest. In the plastic surgery department, doctors are ready to help patients who decide to undertake such events.
In the field of medicine “Mammology”, plastic surgeons provide impressive results with the following procedures:
- breast enlargement;
- reducing mammary glands;
- bust tightening;
- correcting tubular breasts;
- relieving the mammary glands of aesthetic defects by plastic surgery of the nipples.
The effect is achieved by the professionalism of doctors and 3D breast modeling using the Crisalix computer bust modeling system. The program was developed by scientists from Switzerland and the USA and allows patients to see the results of plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures in advance.
It especially helps to ensure that the expected result is obtained for patients who apply for mammoplasty - breast augmentation.
Breast enlargement
Breast augmentation has reached a new level and makes implants invisible, durable, strong, and easy to implant. They play sports with them and breastfeed babies.
For this, anatomical or round implants are used.
Endoprostheses are selected in relation to the physiological characteristics of the patient’s body constitution and the required breast shape. The size is also determined individually, measured from 80 to 800 milliliters. Usually 1 size contains 150 ml.
In a medical institution, it is possible to install implants under the breast (submammary method), through the areola (periareolar option), and under the armpits (axillary approach). But most often surgeons recommend the first method.
Reduction mammoplasty (reduction)
The procedure immediately eliminates breast sagging, performs a dermal lift, and returns the symmetry of the mammary glands.
The benefits of reduction mammoplasty include changing the direction of the nipples, reducing the areola, and getting rid of stretch marks.
The operation lasts about 2-3 hours. Before the event, the surgeon marks the incisions on the chest, and with the onset of anesthesia, he removes fatty and glandular tissue and excess skin.
The doctor shapes the breast using the remaining tissue and, if necessary, changes the size of the areola and moves the nipples to a different position.
During the procedure, if necessary, the surgeon installs implants to give the breast the desired shape.
Types and performance of breast lift
Mastopexy is performed using the following methods:
- T-shaped with 2 significant cuts.
- Vertical.
- Areolar (periareolar).
An atraumatic endoscopic tightening method is also used. All techniques are used under general anesthesia; the desired option is selected according to the severity of the problem and the patient’s wishes regarding the incisions.
During a 2-hour intervention, the surgeon acts carefully, leaving a minimum of marks on the skin surface.
Getting rid of tubular breasts
Not aesthetically pleasing is expressed by the anatomically irregular shape of the breast in the form of an elongated tube. This is the tubular breast.
Jewelry skill and accuracy of doctors return patients to the ideal shape and size of the bust.
The action takes place under general anesthesia. Scars remain invisible due to access to the mammary gland through the areola.
The implant is implanted under the gland or muscle (the latter is preferable).
The essence of nipple plastic surgery
This simple and effective method will eliminate aesthetic defects.
The surgeon begins the operation after reviewing the breast ultrasound, blood testing results and ECG. The patient should stop using hormonal medications 2-3 weeks before surgery.
The procedure is performed using general or local analgesia. During the process of reducing the areola (nipple), sections are made and excess tissue is removed. Enlargement (restoration) requires reconstruction with the patient’s own tissues from other areas of the body.
The correction is accompanied by the application of small and barely noticeable stitches. The duration of the operation is up to 1 hour, after which hospitalization is not required.
Indications and contraindications for the use of mesothreads
Before deciding on the procedure, experts advise you to carefully read the possible risks, weigh the pros and cons, and most importantly, consult a doctor about contraindications.
The first thing you should pay attention to is age. It is strictly not recommended to use mesothreads before the age of 35: collagen is produced in sufficient volume, and additional intervention will lead to an excess of its fibers. Simply put, an unnatural relief may appear on the face, which will turn the features into an ugly hypertrophic mask.
There are also standard restrictions common for most cosmetic procedures:
- diabetes;
- allergies to the drugs used;
- poor blood clotting;
- oncology;
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- infections and inflammations.
The use of mesothreads is recommended when other methods do not give the expected effect. Both men and women undergo the procedure, the main thing is to trust a professional: the slightest awkward movement can distort the oval of the face.
Indications for the use of mesothreads:
- deep wrinkles and sagging oval face;
- drooping corners in the eyebrow area;
- sagging skin;
- other changes due to aging.
The result lasts for 1.5-2 years, after which it is necessary to either repeat the procedure or constantly maintain the result with the help of physiotherapy and creams with a lifting effect.

#5 original cosmetology techniques
The medical institution is famous for new developments in the field of medicine “Cosmetology”:
- Image modeling is the concept of aesthetic adjustment of the facial features and proportions of a particular patient. The technique includes hardware, injection, thread, therapeutic and (sometimes) surgical techniques. They are used both independently and in combination. The patient’s appearance is harmonized by giving the face expressiveness, correcting flaws in appearance, improving the quality of the skin, and achieving a resemblance to one of the show business stars.
- Structural rejuvenation of the skin surface. Eliminates aesthetic flaws and heals skin cells. Developed and implemented the methodology of V.V. Tarasov, Ph.D., dermatologist, cosmetologist, member of the Russian Society of Dermatovenereologists and Cosmetologists. The program includes diagnosing the dermis and treating it, getting rid of moles, papillomas, warts, spider veins and anti-aging procedures.
- 3D rejuvenation consists of a triple effect on the skin in 1 procedure. This helps to launch natural rejuvenation processes. First, a painless fractional intervention into the skin is performed using a DOT device using microperforation. In this way, tissue regeneration and penetration of the active substance into them is achieved. Then a FAT mask is made, aimed at tissue renewal. Finally, they proceed to laser biorevitalization with the inclusion of hyaluronic acid. The procedure stimulates the production of your own collagen and elastin.
- Double Lift. New complex lift of the lower third of the face with threads according to the method of D.A. Gruzdeva. The procedure achieves a double effect. The manipulation is performed by 2 doctors at once for about 2 hours. Using threads installed in a special way, an ideal oval face is acquired, wrinkles, nasolabial furrows and “jowls” are eliminated, and the “double chin” disappears.
- The Gruzdev loop is a thread lifting proposed by this doctor both for a medium-sized body with a “light” lower third, and for a massive one with “heavy” tissues. Using a special loop, the thread is imperceptibly attached to the upper layers of the skin. In half an hour to an hour under local anesthesia, lasting rejuvenation is achieved.
Hardware cosmetology (which includes the ELOS procedure, laser resurfacing, RF lifting) is also recognized as popular.
Patients willingly resort to photorejuvenation, removal of tumors and scars with laser, ultrasonic facial cleansing, etc. The clinic also performs injection rejuvenating manipulations: injection of Botox, fillers, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, ozone therapy.
Prices can be checked on the official website https://www.gruzdevclinic.ru/. For example, thread lifting with the 1st thread DAR-VIN Soft Lift Invisible costs 14,400 rubles. The Gruzdev loop will cost 55,675 rubles - 63,750 rubles. The fee for Double Lift by category is 109,000 rubles - 153,700 rubles.
Payment for procedures is in cash or by bank card. Regularly offered promotions will allow you to save money.
Complications after mesothreads
As a rule, the consequences of using mesothreads do not harm health, but do affect appearance. They can be expressed in:
- bumps on the face;
- fibrosis after mesothreads;
- bumps or pits;
- swelling and hematomas;
- migration of threads under the skin of the face (asymmetry);
- noticeable “tails” from the mesothread or it shines through the skin;
- infections;
- allergies to the components used.
Read more about each possible side effect below.
Bumps and fibrosis after mesothreads
The defect occurs due to medical error or poor-quality material: bumps on the skin may be the result of insufficient thread tension or knots that have arisen. The smartest thing to do is pull out the thread and redo the problem area, or wait several months until the lump resolves on its own.
Another reason may be that during the rehabilitation period, dirt got into the unhealed wound, and the tubercle is nothing more than a source of infection. In this case, you need to take antibacterial drugs prescribed by your doctor.
In addition, relief on the skin can occur due to a hematoma: a large amount of blood accumulates at the site of the thread, which causes an undesirable process. In this case, the doctor pumps out the excess with a syringe.
Fibrosis with thread lifting is the formation of scar tissue. Instead of the intended effect, when collagen grows around the thread in separate fibers, solid fibrous strands appear. They are noticeable in 3-4 weeks, and the sooner their treatment begins, the faster they will go away. If you miss the moment and bring fibrosis to an inveterate nature, it will become almost impossible to remove.

Edema and hematomas
When installing threads under the skin, small vessels and capillaries will inevitably be affected, the wound will cause slight inflammation - this is the body’s natural reaction to injury to the epidermis. Because of this, swelling will occur immediately after the procedure, however, it should subside within 2-3 days.
It is believed that the hematoma stimulates the formation of collagen fibers, and therefore it is an indicator of a good procedure.
The risk of bruising - internal hematoma - can be reduced. Namely: stop taking blood thinning medications two weeks before the procedure. For example, Aspirin and Detralex.
Facial asymmetry
All people are slightly asymmetrical; having the left and right sides of the face exactly the same would cause a strange sensation in appearance. But after the operation, the difference becomes more noticeable due to swelling and hematomas. In this case, you need to wait a little until all the side effects of mesothreads resolve.
It’s another matter if the asymmetry is caused by a doctor’s mistake: large “accordion” folds appear on one side of the face or the thread is poorly tensioned. You will either have to wait several months for the defect to go away on its own, or sacrifice the achieved result and pull out the bad threads.
Noticeable “tails” or mesothreads show through the skin
Most often observed in the area of the cheekbones and cheeks - the most mobile part of the face. People with highly developed facial expressions are susceptible to “tails”; in this case, it is worth giving up warm-up, friction and massage for several weeks. The “tails” themselves need to be pulled out; a lack of 2–4 threads will not affect the overall result.
If there is noticeable translucency through the skin, there are two possible reasons for the defect: the patient’s thin, light skin, or the doctor’s unprofessionalism. In this case, you should also pull out the unsuccessful thread.
Infection
Occurs when instruments are not properly processed and hygiene rules are not followed. Most often, the patient himself is to blame for the infection: after the operation, dust, exhaust fumes, or swimming in a public pool should not be allowed.
If this does happen, it is necessary to treat your face with an antiseptic.
When it comes into contact with a wound, the infection is immediately noticeable: the skin turns red and swells. Under no circumstances should the problem be left to chance! If you do not take a course of antibiotics, the infection can cause tissue necrosis with the formation of rough scars.
Pits, accordion folds
The defect occurs due to non-compliance with technology. Either the threads are poorly tensioned or they are placed at the wrong depth. The smaller the fat layer in the area of the pit or accordion, the longer the deformity will persist. On average, the consequences resolve within 1-2 months.
Migration of thread under the skin
There are several types of mesothreads: smooth, serrated, “spiral”, etc. Based on the task, the doctor selects the right thread. But sometimes it “travels” under the skin, which leads to unwanted defects:
- the ends of the thread come out;
- the contour of the oval of the face changes;
- a noticeable asymmetry arises;
- There is a danger of breaking the surface of the skin - it is necessary to urgently pull out the thread.
It is worth considering that most often the migration of mesothreads is not so terrible, and the consequences go away on their own. The above are extreme cases that occur quite rarely.
Allergy
May occur due to antiseptic or additional substances in the composition of the threads. To protect yourself from such a surprise, do not use cheap materials of dubious production, and also take a skin test before the procedure. Based on its results, the doctor will select a mesothread that will definitely suit you.

Reviews
MARINA, 25 YEARS OLD:
“Grateful to A.A. Makarov for a new nose. The nose gets better even after six months. My colleagues noticed the changes, and I am glad that the doctor met my expectations. I recommend the specialist to everyone who has chosen the Gruzdev clinic.”
TATYANA, 45 YEARS OLD:
“With age, wrinkles appeared on the aging skin.
And the “lip tail” was especially annoying. Cosmetologist A.A. Kodyakov selected a course of RF face lifting and in 8 sessions removed the troubles around the lips.
Now my lips have a clear contour, the wrinkles have disappeared from my face, and the skin surface has tightened. I recommend the doctor and the clinic.”
Is it worth it or not to do a facelift with threads?
There is no doubt that this method of rejuvenation is one of the safest and most effective. But with one caveat - a facelift should be done by a professional cosmetologist.
The effectiveness of the procedure also depends on the correct choice of threads and the method of their placement in the subcutaneous layers.
Therefore, before deciding on a lift, you need to carefully choose a clinic, study reviews about the doctor, see the results of his work and preferably communicate live with those who have already extended their youth with the help of thread lifting.
