What recent patients say
4.5 / 5 · 35 Google reviewsI recently had an abdominoplasty with liposuction at Galaktika with Dr. Zazibo Nikolay Aleksandrovich, and my experience has been exceptional from start to finish. What impressed me the most even before surgery was the level of communication — Tye staff of the clinic was available for months leading up to my procedure, answering questions, helping me prepare, and making sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. Scheduling was always flexible, both before and after surgery, which made the process stress-free and personal. During the consultations, I immediately felt that I was not “just another patient.” The approach was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented — Dr. Zazibo truly listened to my concerns, respected my wishes, and also guided me with his professional expertise on what would give me the best result. His attention to detail is remarkable, and it shows in everything from preparation to follow-up care. The clinic staff was equally warm and attentive, which created a comfortable and reassuring environment throughout the entire experience. Even though I am still in the recovery stage, the results have already exceeded my expectations — the level of precision in the work is evident, and I feel confident that choosing this clinic was absolutely the right decision. I am deeply grateful for the professionalism, care, and personal attention I received at Galaktika. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Zazibo Nikolay Aleksandrovich to anyone considering surgery and looking for a surgeon who combines high-level skill with a truly individualized approach.
The Galaktika Clinic was love at first visit 💖 I had surgery and rehabilitation here, and this place is completely different from a "hospital" in the traditional sense. The beautiful modern building, impeccable cleanliness, and attention to detail make it feel like a cozy hotel, not a clinic. The staff is simply amazing ✨ – attentive, caring, always there to help and support. The doctors and nurses treat patients with warmth and respect, explaining everything in detail and answering any questions. I had a double room, but I was alone – the comfort was top notch. The food was delicious and varied, with plenty of choice – it's wonderful that they thought about every detail. My rehabilitation went very smoothly, without complications or unnecessary stress – and I'm sure the clinic and its atmosphere are a huge part of that. Thank you so much, Galaktika, for your care, service, and professionalism! 🙏 I definitely recommend it—it's the best place for such important steps.
A professional, honest, unobtrusive, and natural approach—that's a rarity, and that's what we've earned. Huge thanks to everyone! The entire team works together at Galaxy. A special thanks to my doctor, Nikolai Alexandrovich Zazyba, a meticulous, tactful, patient, loving, and knowledgeable doctor! It turned out beautifully; I couldn't believe it, but it was all thanks to his efforts.
On such an exciting day, it's important to be surrounded by care and professionalism. I'm very pleased. The surgery was a complete package; I only brought my passport and original test results. They provided everything else and were very caring. The food was excellent!

Dr. Lina Galaeva approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue rather than merely tightening skin. This distinguishes the technique from more superficial facelift methods.
Central to this approach is the SMAS — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a continuous layer of muscle and fibrous tissue that gives the face its underlying support. In a deep plane facelift, this layer is not simply folded or stitched; it is released and elevated.
