What Sergei Zverev looked like before surgery and after plastic surgery


The name of Sergei Zverev is known in Russia and beyond its borders; the outrageous stylist is friends and works with many famous people. Popularity overtook him thanks to hard work, talent and extraordinary appearance. The star is proud of her image and does not hide the fact that she has undergone more than one surgical intervention. It is difficult to imagine that Sergei Zverev was not such a bright character before the operation.

How Sergei Zverev's face has changed with age

In old photographs, of which there are quite a lot on the Internet, the stylist is simply unrecognizable! The only thing that the handsome guy in the photo before plastic surgery and the “star in shock” have in common is enviable hair, and everything else, including lips, nose, eyes, seems to belong to different people.

Before plastic surgery: Sergei Zverev in his youth

Sergei Zverev's first plastic surgery was rhinoplasty. After a car accident, he could not breathe through his nose, and plastic surgery was supposed to solve this problem. However, after the correction, he was still unable to, as they say, breathe deeply. This interfered not only with his musical career, but also with his normal life - due to the lack of oxygen, Sergei felt weak and overwhelmed. He decided to undergo a second operation after meeting an old friend who had undergone 4 (!) rhinoplasties and eventually became the owner of a delightful nose that adorned her face.

Repeated rhinoplasty or rhinoseptoplasty (probably Zverev had not only the shape of his nose corrected, but also the nasal septum straightened) was successful, and the stylist got the nose he dreamed of - graceful, with a thin back and pressed nostrils.

When comparing photos of Sergei Zverev in his youth and now, one cannot help but notice how his lips have changed. Naturally quite thin, they not only gained in volume, but also took on a completely different shape. The stylist does not deny that he constantly “pumps up” his lips with filler based on hyaluronic acid, but does not report cheiloplasty, which most likely happened. Only surgical correction can explain the characteristic upturning in the middle part of the upper lip, by the way, the same as that of Masha Malinovskaya and Ksenia Sobchak. It looks like celebrities have had labiaplasty done by the same surgeon.

Sergei Zverev Sr. before and after plastic surgery

Did Sergei Zverev undergo eyelid surgery? Most likely, he did, in any case, he has no bags under his eyes, no “crow’s feet” in the corners of his eyes, no drooping upper eyelid. After 50 years, cosmetic procedures are powerless against these unpleasant age-related changes; only blepharoplasty can get rid of them.

Sergei Zverev is also suspected of mentoplasty (according to rumors, he installed an implant in his chin) and cheekbone contouring. The stylist does not confirm these corrections, as well as a circular facelift, which, in his opinion, he does not yet need.

This is what the “star in shock” looks like now

Sergey Zverev


I have long wanted to make a post about Sergei. There were posts on Gossipnik about Zverev’s son and his passions. So I decided to put everything together.

***

Sergei Zverev was born on July 19, 1963 in the village of Kultuk, Irkutsk region. His father was a railway mechanic and died under tragic circumstances when Sergei was only 4 years old. After the death of the only breadwinner, the Zverev family was forced to move to Kazakhstan.

By the way, Zverev honestly paid his debt to his homeland - Sergei served in the army in Poland (in the air defense forces), rose to the rank of senior sergeant, and was a deputy platoon commander.

In 1979, Zverev went to study in Moscow. He established himself as a talented student, so a year later he received an offer to go to Paris for an internship. Sergei Zverev's growth in the modeling business begins in 1980. He is training at the Paris Fashion House.

Sergei Zverev became famous thanks to Tatyana Vedeneeva, who was his first client, she invited him to her program. Then the designer worked with such stars as Alla Pugacheva, Laima Vaikule, Boris Moiseev, Valery Leontyev, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Irina Ponarovskaya, Bogdan Titomir.

Zverev was educated in three specialties: clothing designer, decorative cosmetics and hairdressing.

In 1996, Sergei Zverev was awarded the title of vice-champion in hairdressing, and in 1998 he became the world champion in hairdressing.

Sergey Zverev is an honorary professor at the Kyiv State National University of Culture, a five-time world and European champion in hairdressing!

Sergey Zverev is the director of the Sergey Zverev salon and manages the Celebrity beauty salon in Moscow.

Zverev became the first Russian stylist whose hands were insured for one million dollars in 2006.

Sergei Zverev is raising his son Seryozha. Sergei Zverev Jr. was born on August 25, 1997. And, as it turned out, also a daughter!

Personal life

Sergei Zverev was officially married four times. And each marriage lasted no more than 2.5 years. But I did not find information regarding the names and surnames of his wives.

Sergei had a short relationship with Natalya Vetlitskaya in 1995, but it would be a stretch to call them a marriage, even a civil one.

The stylist had a more serious affair with Oksana Kabunina (Sasha Project).

Oksana Kabunina

The romance lasted a year, from 2004 to 2005. The relationship fizzled out, according to rumors, after Zverev allegedly stole the song “Heaven” from Kabunina.

And Irina Bilyk, in order to become Sergei Zverev’s common-law wife, left her husband.

Beautiful wedding photos are just a video shoot for the song “Two Kindred Souls.”

After this affair, mutual sympathy flared up between Zverev and the former lead singer of the group “Brilliant”, now a VJ of the Ru.TV music channel Yulianna Lukasheva (2011).

But Sergei left the singer for her colleague, singer Paola (2011)

Paola

Two years ago, a message appeared on the stylist’s blog that he was going to get married for the fifth time. This time, Sergei’s chosen one was the aspiring singer Elena Galitsyna, whose affair he carefully hid. Elena was seriously preparing to become the wife of Sergei Zverev and even bought herself a luxurious wedding dress in an elite salon on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Sergei also acquired a stunning outfit, but the wedding, apparently, never happened.

They recorded the song “Do You Believe” together

A short selection from various interviews.

Why did you start singing?

Grayness is a joke :)a. And everyday life. Pay for gas, pay for electricity, pay for your son’s education. My son is already an adult, it’s time to look for a separate apartment for him. We won't live together all our lives. A normal apartment costs from a million dollars. Well, not p*****? You won’t earn that kind of money in hairdressing in your entire life. And I’m saying this, Sergei Zverev, a megastar, but ordinary people can only suck shit! They can’t buy their own medicine, so they are calculating whether to buy fruit this week or not? In general, I had to decide something. And then Alla Pugacheva says to me: “You need to sing. You have a voice - at least not worse than others. This will give you the opportunity to somehow raise your child and family.” And she turned out to be right. Alla won’t give any sh*t advice at all. What is hairdressing? Well, you will get a maximum of two thousand dollars for one job. But at the end of the day, your arms and legs will be taken away. I remember after the competition in Vienna I almost ended up in the hospital. Five hours on your feet, and at the same time working all the time! Then I watched the recording of my performance and put it on slow motion replay: for one stroke of the hair - five blows with scissors! This is :)no one can repeat it! And I received pennies for this - even compared to some ordinary singer. And when I see this singer who, after a performance under plywood, comes into the dressing room and says: “I’m so tired!” - I want to strangle her. Fuck! Why are you tired?!

By the way, how did you even meet Pugacheva?

I worked in the salon of Dolores Kondrashova, the coach of the USSR national hairdressing team. I slept there, ate, washed - I had a recording from morning until late at night. Once I went to the shower. Suddenly someone knocks on the door. It turned out to be Dolores. “Come out urgently, Allah is on the phone for you.” I think, what kind of Alla? I don't have any Alla. I pick up the phone and it’s Pugacheva! She wanted to put Chelobanov in order. As a result, Chelobanov did not come - she arrived alone. I did everything for her. During the process, someone else called me, some unpleasant financial issues were being resolved, and I owed money. Alla heard the conversation, comes up to me and says: “How much do you need? I will give". I was shocked! It's that simple, to a stranger! She was so slim and beautiful. I was madly in love with her, I was really sick. I remember going to the library and wanting to look at her photographs. So you take any material about her, the text is there, but the photos are all torn out! And in my youth, I remember when plastic bags with her image appeared, I immediately bought ten of them. I took care of them and didn’t wear anything in them.

There are artists who need definitions. This one is a star, that one is a superstar, and I, for example, am a megastar. And there are those for whom no definition fits. They are out of status. This is Vysotsky. Marlene Dietrich. Pugacheva with Kobzon. There is no need to even discuss them. You can still talk about me, but not about them. Geniuses, period.

Can any of the current ones come even a little closer to them?

Zemfira, maybe. Unreal character.

Do you think she really lives with Renata Litvinova?

Oh, I beg you! I don’t believe about Zemfira. You are all being played, and this is good theater. I'm just talking to Renata. A star is a profession, you understand? Same job as yours. Sometimes you need to stir up a scandal, sometimes, on the contrary, you need to go into the shadows. If there is a worthy person, I will play a homosexual in a way that Zemfira and Renata never even dreamed of! Because it's interesting to people. I've been married four times, but who gives a fuck? I am a five-time world and European champion in hairdressing, I arrived and not a single journalist met me at the airport. But the first big article that appeared after that about me was on the topic: “Is it true that Sergei Zverev is gay?” Gay, not gay - this is one of the most interesting conversations. So I don’t believe about Zemfira. She's just a talented actress.

If I didn’t have the brakes, I would have been doing porn a long time ago. By the way, not so long ago I had a colossal offer - for two million euros! I passed the audition with a bang, but at the last moment I still jumped out. It’s just that at first they told me that I would play an angel with wings in a cameo role, and then it turned out that I was almost the main character who owes everything that moves... well, this... in thousands of episodes.

Anyway, did you initially agree?

Yes. Because this fee would allow me to help orphanages for the rest of my life. It’s impossible to earn that kind of money any other way...

***

In the program that you hosted on MUZ TV, swear words came out of your mouth almost every minute...

— The camera was filming there all day, can you imagine? And they only gave it 20 minutes on air. Well, what can get in there in 20 minutes? They collect the cream of the crop, and this is what comes in. And where I am decent, it does not enter at all. Therefore, I can imagine the impression the audience got: that there was no place to test me. But in fact, I am a very intelligent, well-mannered person.

What can you say about the fact that you are considered one of the leaders of gay parties?

Nothing specific! I will say this: those who think that I am gay, let them think that I am gay. Because this is the majority of the audience that comes to my concerts. Those who think that I am an ordinary person know this, let them continue to think so. I don’t want to make excuses to anyone! Because I think: those of my fans, my friends who are gay, are they not people? I can say that these are the most talented people. And for the most part they are decent and well-mannered people.

Intelligent, but not in the sense that the intelligentsia is, you know, terry. And in the sense that they have all the best that a person could have. Again, I will give an example for comparison. So many people bang their fist on the chest and say: “I’m natural, what are you doing!”

They pull their underpants down to their knees and proudly show off their privates... Maybe he has a long and powerful “Vasya”, I don’t argue... But excuse me, it’s impossible for this straight man to stink. Well, please, at least wash yourself! I don’t want to be that straight. Because a person is not only uneducated - he does not love himself, nor people, nor this world.

We only live once. People cannot understand - there will be no second life. Well, why do they walk around in this terrible underwear? The edge of hair growth goes all the way to the butt. What is this? They suffer and torture people! Well, let them put themselves in order.

You'll be a jerk in your next life, be beautiful in this one! Give people beauty and light. And then we’ll figure out who is who. And not every straight man, by the way, has the qualities of a real man. For the most part, these same straight guys don’t know how to do a damn thing!

What qualities, in your opinion, should a real man have?

Well, first of all, he must have insane willpower. He must be loyal, honest, sincere, decent. It would be good if he did everything he says. It would also be good if he had a good salary, received some money, and supported his family himself. And he did not live on his wife’s means or money. In general, as for a real man, he owes a lot. You can sit and talk for another hour about what he owes.

Do you have these qualities?

And what do you think? I made a name for myself. There were no people I could cling to and climb to Olympus. I owe everything to these qualities. I owe it to my own hands, no one else has such hands. Even if I stay on the street now, burn everything I have, disappear, I can survive. The main thing is that I will still have my hands, and I will do everything even better.

When we performed in Poland, the audience was so delighted with my technique that the next day the entire local press wrote that Sergei Zverev’s show could only be compared with David Copperfield’s show. But behind all this external beauty there is always hellish work hidden.

And also a talent from God. The person must be marked up there. I can say to myself: “I am a person to whom God has given everything.” If I had to fill out a form, I would do everything about it. There are only a few stylists and fashion designers like me; there cannot be a whole generation like me.

And yet, I am constantly learning and working on new projects. There is no limit to perfection! My zodiac sign is Cancer, but looking at my work, you can’t tell. In reality, I'm just doing my best to constantly move forward, and not, like my sign, move backwards.

And how often do you fall in love with your clients?

Sometimes sympathy arises... Well, actually, as a surgeon, I don’t choose my patients. Some people sometimes wait six months to get their makeup or hair done by me! And whether I like it or not, I have to be professional about my work.

What I don’t like is those stars who are not ready to accept the images that I offer them. I have had cases when some stars rejected my proposals, but came to this conclusion after 5-6 years.

Has it ever happened that you worked with a person for a long time, and then he came out to the broad masses and said: “My taste is innate, I made my image myself”?

Oh, all the time! It happens that I comb a person’s hair, dress and put on shoes, in particular with my own money, and then she says: “Oh, I’m so all natural. I’m all by myself” and publishes my photos, wearing my hats and accessories and even shoes from my collection. We have such a tendency on the stage. And this is not very pleasant - everyone should mind their own business.

Do you, as a stylist, believe in the “light” and “heavy” hand of the hairdresser?

Quite! One day I noticed that I had not had my hair cut for a long time. And I remembered that a friend and colleague cut my hair a long time ago. And my hair didn’t grow for about a year. Until I took it myself and slightly trimmed the ends of the hair with my hand.

Can you give a person back his hair if he is completely bald?

People come to me with problem hair in hopeless situations, and I help them. For a tidy sum, of course. Not right away. This is a long period. It won't be easy, but I will restore my hair.

Maybe you can give me some advice on how not to lose the last of my hair?

Firstly, you need to stop drinking and smoking, and secondly, it all depends on lifestyle and nutrition. The amount of hair on your head also depends on who you live with, who is next to you, every day in your apartment.

Maybe this person takes so much energy that soon not only his hair, but also his penis will fall off. Take care of your nervous system, your mood, vitamins. It's not a matter of age. The main thing is not to resign yourself to catastrophic hair loss, but to “ring the bells.” After all, there is only one life.

- You said “it’s not a matter of age”... Why don’t you ever say how old you are?

- I don’t have an age.

- I won't ask. Just curious, why are you hiding this?

— I have a lot of young fans. And there are also older ones... I don’t want to disappoint any of them. In show business there is no age or nationality.

I get robbed all the time. When you arrive in the dressing room for filming, something will definitely be stolen. Half of my makeup bag is missing! Either a tie, or a bow tie, or a scarf. At the same time, they say that they did not steal it, but took it as a souvenir. As if this changes something...

Insta, just a little.

By the way, everything is very polite and cultured, not a single bad word about anyone.

In the orphanage in Ivanovo, which Sergei has been helping for many years.

“I came to visit the Meshchansky territorial social service center. Getting the kids ready for school. #zverev #children #sergeyzverev #September 1st #school soon"

“We had a very tasty dinner with my dear friend Lenochka Galitsyna.”

“I’m tidying up my beloved red-haired friend. #starshocked #zverev #zverevsergey #Tomorrow #newsong"

“What cake? No, we didn't eat... #cake #child #dog #baby #dog #cake"

I went to google who it is... This is what I read: it turns out that Zverev has a daughter!!!! , whom his longtime girlfriend from Kyiv gave birth to. As it turned out, the baby was born in the summer of 2011. Sergei kept the name of the mother of his second child, as well as his birth, in the strictest confidence. Zverev featured his little daughter in his video. The video was filmed in Kyiv under the direction of director Elena Vinyarskaya.

Zverev was accused of a kind of plagiarism, they say, Kirkorov keeps everyone in suspense by giving out information about Alla Victoria in small portions - and Zverev decided to follow in his footsteps. But the singer and stylist denies these accusations. “You take a close look at the video. Summer in the background! Summer 2011! If I wanted to promote myself, I would have posted the video earlier, not now (2012)! We don’t need all this fuss!” But the king of glamor does not deny the fact that in the video he is with his daughter. “Yes, in the video is my illegitimate daughter from Ukraine. The child’s mother is a good friend of mine who decided to have a child for herself. We in no way wanted to gain publicity through this story, we just wanted to do everything quietly!”

In turn, the “yellow” journalists have a different version of the birth of the child. Like, in fact, this girl is not the daughter, but the granddaughter of the singer. His son is already an adult, which means he could very well make the eminent dad a grandfather.

I recently did a post about celebrity charity. Sergei Zverev is one of the few who does not talk about charity, but has been involved in it for many years. He often visits orphanages, and his visits are remembered by children for a long time. “Children value attention. We must give such children happiness and love. Because some frivolous parents will give birth and abandon them, but it’s not the children’s fault that they are not wanted,” says Sergei. It is a pity that the focus of journalists is not on these simple but important steps of the star in the field of social activities. The press mainly discusses shocking news about Sergei.

***

Sergei's son, Sergei Jr., judging by the photos from the contact, is not a star boy at all, which is very pleasing!

In 2009, Stas Sadalsky made a sensational statement in his LiveJournal. He said that the son of Sergei Zverev is actually adopted. According to Sadalsky, the stylist adopted him when the boy was 3 years old.

“This was no ordinary adoption,” Fr.

“When I entered the room of children who could not walk at all, I almost died of fear,” he quotes the words of Sergei Zverev about the day when he became a visitor to an orphanage in Irkutsk. – The wooden cribs were chewed up! I thought: “Rats!” And these are children... I was shocked! They were hardly fed there. They stole food and took it to their home. I grabbed this boy and ran out!” The stylist adopted the child, gave him a new name, Sergei Zverev Jr., and began to raise him like his own son.

Comments from our Gossip Girls for 2009 (about Seryozha’s adoption):

Behind the shocking image of the star hides a very kind heart...

Respect to you, Sergey!

How the stylist's figure has changed with age

Sergei Zverev is proud of his “youthful” body. A stylist stays at the same weight throughout his life. According to him, he has never had liposuction, and moderation in food and professional cosmetic procedures help him maintain excellent shape. The star pays special attention to her hands: she regularly does paraffin baths, seaweed wraps and manicures. Sergei says that he worships his hands and cherishes their “unreal beauty.” In 2006, he insured his hands for $1 million.

A little about life in youth before operations

Sergei was born in Siberia, in a small town near Irkutsk. When the boy was 4 years old, his father died. And, after the mother’s new marriage, the family, which also included an older child, moved to Kazakhstan.

After school, Sergei graduated from a vocational school, where he learned hairdressing and managed to serve in the army. And he left to conquer Moscow. In the capital, he managed to become famous, win numerous stylist competitions, including international and very prestigious ones, and work with pop stars.

Childhood and youth

A modest boy was born in 1963 in the Siberian town of Kultuk. Seryozha was an ordinary child, received two grades and ran away into the forest without permission to pick berries. When his father died, the family moved to Ust-Kamenogorsk, where Zverev completed his studies. After school, he entered college, where he learned the basics of the hairdresser profession. His biography also contains the fact of serving in the armed forces; army photographs are evidence of this.

During the years of perestroika, the “King of Shocking” was able not only to survive, but also to achieve fame. He wasn't afraid to look stupid and laugh at himself. In the nineties, he opened his first beauty salon, where Lyudmila Gurchenko, Valery Leontyev and other stars often came there.

Why now?

“The timing for the SPO was chosen very well,” says Pavel Mitrofanov, managing director for corporate and ESG ratings at Expert RA. — We just reported our half-year results, and the reporting is impressive. Thanks to measures to support the government sector, all major developers have grown significantly, the multipliers are good. The placement can be successful.” Earlier this week, the decision on an additional share issue was approved by the board of directors of another developer, the Samolet group.

“Both the market and the companies are growing very quickly,” agrees an investment analyst at another company. — Prices have risen, the economics of developers have improved, there is a reduction in housing, small players are leaving, there is a great demand for housing - this demand must be satisfied. Only big players can satisfy it. That’s why we see placements.”

Indeed, government support measures and increased demand have allowed large developers to increase their financial performance. However, the preferential mortgage program for Moscow and the region has already been virtually curtailed, so its effect will have less impact.

“Developers need to raise a lot of capital and increase the land bank,” comments Alfa Capital portfolio manager Eduard Kharin. — Over the past year and a half, the margin has increased, prices for new apartments in the Moscow region have increased by 30-50%, and land is much less - by 10-20 percent. Now we need money to increase the land bank and use it to complete the construction of current projects.”

Glamorous disease of S. Zverev

He himself considers himself the most beautiful, and his phrase “the star is in shock” has long become a catchphrase. Reviews about Sergei Zverev are quite varied. Evil tongues dubbed the stylist a “glamorous bitch,” while others joked: “When Sergei Zverev went home on Maslenitsa, they twice took him for a scarecrow and tried to burn him.” Such attacks do not bother the stylist at all, and he himself is no less sharp-tongued. The stylist is trying to do vocals. It turns out, of course, a pitiful sight. Even mosquitoes fall silent when Zverev “licks the microphone.”

Regarding his popularity on the social network Instagram, the hairdresser speaks frankly and shares his own observations: “People from the world of fashion and music are always number one on Instagram! I am the brightest star on Instagram. How else? Imagine, I’m a treasure of the people, a sex symbol of the country and a style icon.”

Personal life of a “star in chocolate”

On social networks, many are breaking their spears about Zverev’s person. He created such a provocative image that he could easily lead gay parades. But no matter how the hairdresser dressed himself in feathers and rhinestones, he had a child and was married four times. And these marriages, sadly for their ill-wishers, were with women. Seryozha Zverev Jr. does not support the desire of his youthful 53-year-old father for sparkles and blush. He is far from the stage and lives an ordinary life. I wonder if Zverev’s son still mistakes him for his mother?

Sergei Zverev has repeatedly become a European and world champion in hairdressing, and has created dozens of fashionable looks for top figures in the domestic show business. But it was the appearance of a dressed-up scarecrow and the unpredictable behavior of a capricious teenager that brought him the desired fame.

Appearance without intervention

In the new successful life of Sergei Zverev there was only one weak link - his own appearance. Although, in the opinion of his many acquaintances, everything was in order with her. Confirmation of this is a completely successful personal life. Zverev had the face of a typical Siberian, that is, round cheeks, a rather wide nose, small eyes, noticeable brow ridges. And Sergei’s hair in old photos is not yet dyed a light shade.

Girls thought he was attractive, and he was married more than once. If we evaluate the face of the future star objectively, we can call it ordinary, not standing out from thousands of others.

Now the photos where Sergei Zverev is still the same are preserved only by acquaintances and classmates. He himself got rid of them.

We recommend reading about unsuccessful star plastic surgery. You will learn about mistakes in correcting the appearance of Russian and Hollywood stars, the most unsuccessful operations on the face, lips, nose and chest. And here is more information about Mickey Rourke's plastic surgery.

The youth of the king of shocking

After school there was a period of training to become a designer, hairdresser and makeup artist. Afterwards, Sergei Zverev went to serve in the army. It’s strange to believe, looking now at the painted peacock, but it served perfectly. Sergei Zverev in his youth rose to the rank of deputy platoon commander, headed the Komsomol organization and had the rank of senior sergeant. Military affairs did not appeal to the future star, which is why he followed a creative path.

Reasons for visiting a plastic surgeon

Those who have known Sergei Zverev for a long time cite a couple of reasons that prompted him to radically change his appearance:

To read: Fermencol gel will help with stretch marks, scars and other visual problems

  • a fight that happened in his youth, after which there was a broken nose and numerous facial injuries,
  • simple dissatisfaction with one’s own reflection in the mirror and the desire to be more like one’s mother, original, sophisticated, aristocratic.

The stylist himself claims that he was in a car accident. And his face was badly damaged, his nose was especially damaged. The injuries were such that Sergei could not only appear in public, but also breathe normally.

He began his acquaintance with the scalpel of a plastic surgeon with rhinoplasty.

But even if the disaster did lead to such serious injuries that surgery was indispensable, there are oddities in this story. After all, Sergei’s appearance was not just restored. She has been changed a lot. Perhaps the main reason for his numerous aesthetic interventions was indeed his dissatisfaction with what nature provided.

In addition, Zverev's career aspirations expanded. He is now not just a hairdresser and stylist, but also an actor and singer. The star must have a bright, memorable appearance. This is exactly what his face became, Sergei cannot be confused with anyone else. Although it looks much more feminine compared to its previous appearance.
