Ekaterina Leonova Undergoes Major Dental Bone Surgery and Is Barred From Dancing for Weeks

Doctors ordered strict rest to protect fragile bone grafts and ensure the complex operation succeeds.

Overview

  • The Let's Dance professional completed an extensive dental bone‑reconstruction operation in mid‑June that required a lengthy procedure under local anesthesia.
  • Leonova has said the surgery lasted about five hours and involved bone rebuilds on both sides to treat a severe tooth‑bone infection.
  • Her recovery includes a course of antibiotics, a liquid and baby‑food diet with chamomile tea, and instructions to avoid pressure on the jaw to prevent membrane or graft failure.
  • Medical orders bar her from dancing, flying and other strenuous activity for at least three weeks, forcing a temporary pause in her performance schedule.
  • The surgery had been delayed earlier while insurance paperwork was resolved and follows a recent facial mole removal and her recent acquisition of German citizenship, making this the second medical interruption in months and a potential short‑term setback for her career.
