The lawyer representing the singer Slava, Elena Senia, said that a number of former patients of plastic surgeon Timur Khaidarov are dealing with depression after failed procedures. She spoke to KP about the matter.

“This statement reflects a harsh reality. Some women have been diagnosed with depression, and many continue to rely on medications,” Elena Senia asserted.

Journalists from the outlet reached out to one of the women who underwent three surgeries performed by Timur Khaidarov in 2018, 2019, and 2021, a sequence that left her nearly without breast tissue. She described how the surgeon initially removed a large portion of the breast and then placed implants that did not settle properly. Later, a third operation was carried out to replace the implants and perform a breast lift, yet the condition deteriorated further. A fourth operation was proposed by the surgeon, but the patient declined. She is now receiving psychological support from Roszdravnadzor specialists.

“It is extremely difficult to discuss this… After the procedure, responders detected the issue in time and initiated the evacuation of the affected tissue. A friend helped by setting up an alarm that alerted others to the problem. Following the surgeries, the patient struggled to accept her own body, sinking into a severe depressive state and feeling morally shattered,” the woman told reporters.

Former singer Slava has publicly addressed the outcomes of her breast implants following Khaidarov’s procedures.
