Nikolai Baskov is the owner of a luxurious tenor; he could have made an excellent career in opera (for some time he served at the Bolshoi Theater), but he chose the stage. The singer became popular in 2000 after his first video. In addition to his vocal abilities, the public appreciated his appearance: the admiration of millions of women was caused by his pretty face framed by blond hair. The artist’s appearance has hardly changed with age; it seems that the years have not taken a toll on him – there are no wrinkles on his face, and his skin retains a fresh and toned appearance.
Basque tightened the skin of the eyelids
Surgery to remove excess skin from the lower and upper eyelids is called blepharoplasty. In 2012, Nikolai Baskov underwent circumferential blepharoplasty, thanks to which his eyes became open, bags under the eyes and fatty hernias disappeared. The skin in the periorbital zone ages quickly: this is due to its natural sensitivity and lack of fatty glands, and for artists the situation is aggravated by the constant application of makeup. It is interesting that the performer had his first blepharoplasty performed during a tour and was forced to go on stage with bruises under his eyes, which are natural for such an intervention. There is an opinion that several years later, during an affair with Victoria Lopyreva, Nikolai Baskov had a second circular eyelid lift, but the artist refuses to confirm this fact.
Last news
The biography of Nikolai Baskov includes quite contradictory facts: he sang with the world diva Montserrat Caballe, gained enormous popularity among the older generation, and then was able to successfully fit into new trends.
True, this did not happen immediately. In 2022, Nikolai Baskov and Philip Kirkorov released the scandalous video “Ibiza,” which almost cost both their careers. It was watched by more than 27 million people, and the number of dislikes for the video exceeded the number of likes. This is due to the cheeky behavior of the artists in the video and the demonstration of unsightly scenes, because of which Baskov and Kirkorov were even proposed to be deprived of the title of People's Artists, creating petitions on this topic on the Internet. Fortunately, they did not get enough signatures, and the performers had to urgently record an apology for the video.
In 2022, Baskov starred in the talk show “Musicality” with Maxim Galkin, where he criticized modern trends. The second invited guest was Morgenstern, whose work was not appreciated by the Golden Voice of Russia.
However, already in 2022, Nikolai, together with Tik Tok star Danya Milokhin, released the video “We’re Partying Wildly,” which literally blew up all possible charts. The video received more than 58 million views, and the song became a real hit.
It was with her that the musicians performed at the scandalous Muz TV 2021 awards. Like the rest of the performers, Baskov and Milokhin tried to stand out and performed the song on a huge podium in the shape of a golden toilet, while Danya was dressed in a strange outfit that was both a suit and a dress. Perhaps this was a kind of reference to Baskov’s song “Golden Cup”. The effect was achieved: the images of the artists are still discussed in the press, although they have not received any awards.
Nikolai Baskov admits that he is not going to stop there and is planning new collaborations with young performers. So, he recently met with Slava Marlow in the Lamborghins show. The performers answered questions about each other, after which they tried to perform their opponent's hits in their own style. Basque mixed two of Slava’s popular songs: “I’m getting drunk again” and “You burn like fire,” and he, in turn, performed “You’re far away.” The jury, which was chosen from among the audience, recognized Baskov's composition as the best, but Slava was not at all offended by this.
The personal life of Russia’s golden voice currently remains a mystery to viewers. The performer himself claims that he does not have a permanent partner, since he has not yet met “his” person. And this may indeed be true: the musician has not yet appeared with any girl in any photo of 2021.
The artist continues to deny surgical interventions, claiming that his appearance is the result of a healthy lifestyle and physical activity. However, comparing the photos showing Nikolai Baskov before and after plastic surgery, it becomes clear that he still corrected his appearance.
“Young oval” of Baskov’s face
The singer has an extremely unstable contour of the lower third of his face - jowls and a double chin appear and disappear. This is largely due to weight gain and loss. Nikolai Baskov is prone to being overweight, so as soon as he gains a little weight, the defects described above immediately appear. Currently, the artist has lost weight, by his admission, by 20 kg - the oval of his face looks clear and toned. Although, given age-related collagen deficiency and gravity, the skin should sag after the fatty tissue “leaves” (the problem is called ptosis). The fact that this did not happen suggests the idea of lifting the lower third of the face, which the singer himself denies.
Foreign celebrities
Angelina Jolie with full lips, gorgeous breasts, beautiful and clearly defined cheekbones and chin is one of the most attractive and sought-after actresses in Hollywood. Photos of the star in her youth prove that her lips have never undergone surgery. Her own children, who inherited the voluminous lips of their famous mother, are considered direct proof of this fact.
However, Angelina still resorted to nose surgery at the age of 16. Over time, its shape changed several times until it acquired the ideal shape. The actress’s pronounced cheekbones also underwent surgical intervention: this is evidenced by the star’s plump cheeks in her youth before plastic surgery and the result after.
By nature, the celebrity has a third breast size, but due to the high risk of developing breast cancer, she had to undergo a double mastectomy. Many noticed an increase in the star's bust after plastic surgery up to size four.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Nicole’s face changed: pronounced cheekbones appeared, her lips became more voluminous. The actress could never boast of large breasts. But in 2009, her fans noticed that the star’s bust had increased. If you look at photos of celebrities before and after plastic surgery, you will notice that Nicole Kidman has repeatedly changed the size and shape of her breasts.
Over time, the star's face becomes more and more unnatural: lack of facial expressions, a forced smile.
Victoria Beckham is a former member of the popular group Spice Girls, and now a socialite. If you look at an early photo of the singer, you will notice that she naturally has a large nose with large nostrils. But, resorting to numerous surgical interventions, it changed, becoming thin and slightly raised.
In her youth, Victoria was complex about her small bust. Thanks to repeated plastic surgeries, the size of the star’s breasts increased several times, and the shape acquired a rounded appearance. But at the moment, the wife of a famous football player decided to opt for naturalness.
Actress Demi Moore was not a beauty. The star's first operation corrected her congenital squint and restored her vision. Then the celebrity changed her large nose to a more aristocratic one. After giving birth, Demi Moore turned to plastic surgeons many times, who performed liposuction on her face and body, and also repeatedly enlarged her breasts.
What cosmetic procedures does Basque do?
The singer admits that he uses mesotherapy (injection saturation of the skin with nutrients and moisturizing substances), and also does not shy away from massages, peelings and all kinds of cosmetic masks. The singer is not frank about injections of hyaluronic fillers that fill wrinkles and are used for contouring, as well as drugs based on botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport), but recent photos of Baskov reveal the truth. In them, the cheerful and smiling artist looks constrained and unnatural. The reason for this is probably Botox injections, the abuse of which causes a mask effect on the face. Fortunately, after 4-6 months, botulinum toxin is destroyed and eliminated from the body, after which mobility returns to the muscles and facial expressions return to the face.
Unsuccessful plastic surgery
List of stars for whom plastic surgery before and after did not bring the desired result:
- Vera Alentova has undergone surgery more than once. But after the last plastic surgery, the actress has changed a lot, not for the better. The celebrity's eyes became asymmetrical, her smile became distorted, and her nasolabial wrinkles became more prominent. This still ages the star even more.
- Actress Natalya Andreichenko turned to surgeons for help back in the 90s. She had a facelift. Later, the celebrity, in pursuit of youth and beauty, repeatedly used their services. But the result of such operations was not always successful; the star did not change for the better: her face became puffy, her lips acquired an unnatural volume.
- Elsa Patton, an American socialite and participant in the famous show “Housewives of Miami,” has undergone a huge amount of plastic surgery. However, after plastic surgery, the woman began to look more like a horror movie heroine.
- After Donatella Versace took over the post of head of the famous Fashion House, she increasingly began to use the services of surgeons. Today, the famous fashion designer, after a series of unsuccessful plastic surgeries, tops the list of the worst stars. Donatella later admits that it took her a long time to understand that true beauty is not outside, but inside us.
Star plastic surgery before and after surgery is not always successful. Therefore, you should think carefully before deciding to take this important step.
Slender Nikolai Baskov: was there liposuction?
The artist denies undergoing any surgical corrections to the body. According to him, only diet, massages and physical activity help him stay in good shape. However, there is an opinion that liposuction did take place, and more than once - this is indicated by the inconstancy of the performer’s silhouette. But it’s one thing to remove excess fat (no more than 2 - 3 liters at a time) in some local area, for example, on the stomach or hips, and quite another thing to lose 20 kg! It’s not about liposuction, or rather, not only about it...
Michael Jackson
Undoubtedly, the idol of millions - the legendary Michael Jackson (1958−2009) - will forever remain in our hearts and will be remembered not only for his talent, but precisely for his extraordinary appearance, which has undergone changes over the years.
Since the mid-80s, his appearance began to change dramatically - from a black singer, the king of pop music turned into a snow-white porcelain doll. A sharp nose covered in leather, a cleft chin, implants, artificial lips are a classic example of unsuccessful plastic surgery.
The artist suffered from body dysmorphic disorder. This is a mental state in which a person cannot objectively evaluate himself. He goes under the surgeon's knife to correct defects that don't exist.

After breaking up with model Victoria Lopyreva, Nikolai Baskov radically changed his image: he lost a lot of weight and changed his hairstyle. Even his suits began to look more restrained and classic. Fans again decided that the singer had undergone liposuction - he had changed so much in a short time.
However, Basque soon told the truth: in quarantine, he went to Karelia for three weeks, where, under the supervision of doctors, he underwent rejuvenating procedures.
First of all, the singer took up therapeutic fasting for the sake of weight loss. Recently, such detox tours have become popular among stars who want to get rid of extra pounds in a short time. Previously, Anna Semenovich and Rita Dakota rejuvenated themselves by fasting, but apparently it cost them much less money. According to some reports, Nikolai Baskov had to pay more than a million rubles for weight loss procedures.
But the “Golden Voice of Russia” did not stop there. He also underwent physical therapy and massage therapy, and may have undergone several surgeries to remove excess skin after extreme weight loss. In addition, Baskov additionally paid about half a million rubles for the installation of fillers and Botox injections. He also used the rejuvenation procedure using gold threads, which is also popular among Russian celebrities.
The Basque singer after plastic surgery appeared on Ivan Urgant’s show, which surprised his fans a lot. Despite his age, Nikolai was currently 44 years old, he looked young and stylish, as if he had been overweight for decades.
Note: why you can’t lose weight with liposuction
Liposuction is a plastic surgery that changes the shape and volume of fat deposits in different parts of the body. The procedure is not prescribed for obese patients, but is used as an additional tool for body correction after weight loss, to give the body an attractive silhouette. Most often, the stomach, hips, and shoulders undergo “finishing” modification. It is possible that it was in these areas that Nikolai Baskov underwent liposuction. The essence of the procedure is to destroy fat cells and then remove their contents. Several fat removal techniques are currently used, including laser, ultrasound, radiofrequency, and traditional tumescent liposuction, which is performed using cannulas inserted under the skin through incisions.
Personal life
Inner strength, charm and beauty created the aura of an ideal man, so it is not surprising that Nikolai has always enjoyed success with the fair sex. He was officially married only once - they lived with producer Boris Shpigel’s daughter Svetlana for only seven years, and from their union a son, Bronislav, was born, who is now 12 years old.
After the divorce in 2008, the singer and showman had many high-profile romances - with model Oksana Fedorova, scandalous Anastasia Volochkova and singer Sophie Kalcheva
Baskov’s current passion is the beautiful Victoria Lopyreva, with whom they even supposedly wanted to get married last year, but in the end journalists found out that information about the wedding was a way to attract the attention of the press.

The famous parodist is not at all ashamed of the fact that he is a frequent guest in the plastic surgeon’s office. Unlike many, he talks absolutely openly about all his changes in appearance to journalists, and once even shared a photo from the operation. Then his eyelid shape was changed and a contour facelift was performed.
Success
In the same year, a video for the song “In Memory of Caruso” was released, which was popular among television viewers. The name of Nikolai Baskov is increasingly heard not only by fans of classical music, but also by music lovers. Some fans will be hostile to their idol's move to the stage, saying he's cheapened out. However, the artist has a completely different opinion on this matter.
According to Nikolai Baskov, as an opera performer, he often heard criticism of himself from listeners and professionals. In addition, such work did not bring such high earnings. Pop music, as it turns out, pays much better and does not limit the performer’s self-expression. This is how a new chapter opens in the biography of Nikolai Baskov - pop singing.
In 2001, Nikolai Baskov graduated from the Gnessin Institute and entered graduate school at the Moscow State Conservatory named after P. I. Tchaikovsky, from where he graduated two years later. The singer publishes new songs and also delights listeners with concert performances.
One of the main tracks of that time is considered the song “Sharmanka”, which became a real breakthrough for Nikolai Baskov. Russian listeners warmly welcome the artist’s new song. In addition, Basque often appears on foreign stages, however, music alone is not enough.
In 2003, Nikolai Baskov became the host of the scandalous TV show “Dom-2”. In the future, this place will be taken by Ksenia Sobchak and Olga Buzova. For now, the program's participants are being helped to build love by an opera and pop performer, who, in between filming, tours the United States and Israel. During this period, Nikolai Baskov was equally busy both on the stage and in classical singing.
