Professor A.I. Nerobeev founded the Department of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education (RMAPE) and for over 30 years served as the permanent head of the Clinic of Reconstructive Surgery of the Face and Neck at the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Professor A.I. Nerobeev was one of the founders of the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of Russia (OPREH) and the founder of the National Russian Society of Aesthetic Medicine. For many years he served as the chief specialist at the Medical Center of the President of Russia. He published the results of his scientific and clinical work in monographs on reconstructive surgery of the face and neck, as well as numerous academic papers. Under his supervision, 9 doctoral and 35 candidate dissertations were defended.

Alexander Ivanovich made an invaluable contribution to the development of reconstructive and plastic surgery in Russia. Together with neurosurgeons from the Burdenko Institute and Professor A.N. Konovalov, he took part in the country's first operation to separate conjoined twins, believing that no challenge is truly insurmountable. He took on the most hopeless cases -- patients turned away by specialists not only in Russia but in other countries as well.

Throughout his medical career, A.I. Nerobeev performed the most complex operations in reconstructive, maxillofacial, and microsurgery. He used to say: "There are no routine operations on the face. Everything is in plain sight -- you can't cover a face with clothing. Every such operation must be meticulously calculated." He quite literally restored people's faces after accidents, wounds, and oncological surgeries.
