The demand for breast implants in cosmetic surgery of Russian women is very large, but lacks import supply due to the influence of the Western sanctions.

Since Moscow has launched a military campaign in Ukraine, Russian women have been increasingly difficult to perform breast pump surgeries, due to lack of domestic breast implant supply.

Western sanctions are not aimed at the supply of transplant products, but logistics, financial embargo and many other factors related to sanctions have seriously affected breast pump and surgical activity.

In March, the price of breast implant bags in Russia has tripled, then decreased and kept stable at 20% higher than before the time of Russia started the military campaign, according to the cosmetic doctor Evgeny Dobreikin.

Russia ranked 9th globally in the number of annual cosmetic surgeries, with 621,600 cases in 2020, according to the International Cosmetic Surgery Association.

With such high demand while the supply of products for plastic surgery imported from abroad, Alexander Saversky, President of the Federation for the benefits of Russian patients, feared low -quality low -cost products,

He recalled the scandal of Pip's poor quality breast implant bags produced by French and predicted many more issues that will soon appear in other areas of the health sector.

In the next few months, the shortage of medical equipment in Russia, which must be imported 80% from abroad, will be very serious, Saversky said.

This is also the reason why Anastasia Yermakova, 37, worried, because the last time she injured botox wrinkles to reduce wrinkles at the end of February. She was afraid that Botox she used to use could run out of stock without re -importing because of the order.

Cosmetic experts guarantee me she still reserves Botox, Yermakova said.

After Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military campaign to Ukraine on February 24, US drug producer Abbvie, a company famous for Botox wrinkles, has withdrawn from the Russian market.

As a result, Botox's warehouse in Russia drooped, according to Yuliya Frangulova, co -founder of the National Cosmetic Medical Clinic Association.

In March, we witnessed the panic in patients, doctors and suppliers, Oksana Vlasova, Director of Grandmed Cosmetic Hospital in Saint Petersburg City.

Nikolay Bespalov, an expert from RNC Pharma, a Russian pharmaceutical market analysis company, said that in April and May, no Botox shipment was imported into Russia.

Russia is also exhausted with some Western -produced fillers, especially Hyaluronic acid to pump lips plump, a common procedure in Russia.

We were forced to break up with the filler provided by Abbvie, Vlasova said and expressed hope that European producers could fill the space.

Inflation soared and the future of instability also caused beauty experts to have a headache because people began to lumbar belly.

The income of the people has decreased.

But in the midst of a difficult period, the Dobreikin plastic surgeon saw the opportunity.

At the end of May, Dobreikin came up with the idea of Rosgrud breast transplantation (Russian breast bag), transparent and printed in the Russian flag.

Nastella Sokolova, 28, is a designer and a British customer, supports the idea.

Unable to sell cereals from his farm to Europe for the Western sanctions, Yevgeny Shifanov shifted to the domestic market.
