Dubai-based Dr. Maxim Ivanchuk has made medical history by performing a complex facial surgery on himself, becoming the first doctor in the world to successfully complete such a procedure.
The self-surgery was performed under strict privacy with only a selected team present. According to Dr Ivanchuk, the procedure is unrivalled worldwide, and is also his most performed treatment, attracting a diverse international clientele, including politicians and celebrities.
Dr. Ivanchuk employed his signature facial rejuvenation procedure, a unique blend of advanced techniques, including zygomatic contouring, youthful angle enhancement, chin sculpting, and J Plasma FACE technology.
By performing it on himself, Dr. Ivanchuk says that he wanted to experience the procedure as a patient, ensuring it met the highest standards of effectiveness and safety.
“In order to truly perfect a procedure, I needed to understand it from the patient’s perspective. This self-surgery allowed me to experience the benefits of my techniques firsthand, deepening my empathy and understanding for my patients,” says Dr. Ivanchuk.
The surgery was conducted with the support of two operating room nurses, an anesthesiologist, and a nurse who held a mirror to allow Dr. Ivanchuk to guide the operation with precision. The use of J Plasma FACE technology, which tightens the skin without scars, was a key component in achieving the results.
Following the surgery, Dr. Ivanchuk reported immediate satisfaction with the outcome and felt well enough to enjoy a meal shortly after the procedure.
The global medical community has taken note of Dr. Ivanchuk’s extraordinary self-surgery, with many hailing it as a new frontier in cosmetic procedures. The news has also generated significant interest among potential patients eager to undergo the same transformative treatment.
In tandem with this event, Dr. Ivanchuk also announced the opening of a world-class hospital in Dubai by 2025. This facility will embody his vision of combining cutting-edge medical technology with a luxurious, patient-centered environment.
“Dubai is the perfect city for this venture, with its forward-thinking approach to innovation and luxury. Our hospital will redefine the standards of care, offering the most advanced treatments in a setting that prioritizes comfort, convenience, and excellence,” sys Dr. Ivanchuk.
The hospital will offer a wide array of services, including Dr. Ivanchuk’s facial rejuvenation techniques, and will serve as a destination for patients from around the globe seeking the highest quality medical care.
“Designed with the future in mind, this facility is set to lead the way in combining luxury healthcare with groundbreaking medical innovations,” says Dr. Ivanchuk.
