Doctors have revealed the secret of eternal youth to Sofia Rotaru.
You look at her and just wonder: how can you look almost half your age at 70? Sofia Rotaru seems to be enchanted: the years go by, but she does not change. Still good, fresh, light and graceful. What is the secret of her eternal youth?
The appearance of Rotaru in New Year's programs made the audience freeze, choking on Olivier salad. Sofia Mikhailovna looked so that the only honest compliment for her would be: “Yes, you are a witch!”
How else can we explain that the singer, who is in her eighties, has a clear oval face, like that of a young maiden, elastic and even skin, with only light expression wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes? Pugacheva is two years younger, but it’s better not to put her next to Rotaru. Maybe the Farmer drinks some kind of potion in the morning?
Sofia Rotaru (70 years old)
Our selection opens with the eternally young and blooming Sofia Rotaru. First of all, I want to note that Sofia Mikhailovna’s facial plastic surgery is very successful! Probably one of the most successful that I have ever seen among representatives of domestic show business. The artist’s plastic surgeon is a great fellow: he managed to preserve Rotaru’s elegant and aristocratic facial features without distorting the “native” facial anatomy. So, in my opinion, Rotaru has the following procedures:
- circular face and neck lift (the cost of the procedure varies from 300 thousand to 1 million rubles);
- blepharoplasty of the eyelids (cost from 100,000 to 200,000 rubles);
- contour plastic surgery with fillers based on hyaluronic acid: lip augmentation - from 30,000 rubles, cheekbone correction - from 50,000 rubles;
- injections of botulinum toxin into the forehead (indicated by the changed raised shape of the eyebrows) - from 20,000 rubles per procedure;
- gorgeous breasts, which were not there in my youth, are definitely the merit of the surgeon (prices for mammoplasty vary from 250,000 to 800,000 rubles).
I can assume that body liposuction was also performed - from 200,000 to 600,000 rubles.
In general, the comprehensive “tuning” cost Rotaru more than one and a half million rubles.
Sofia Rotaru before and after plastic surgery: the surgeon reveals secrets
This singer, who won nationwide love on the Soviet stage, has still not lost her popularity and relevance. Her work, which reflects the multinational culture of various post-Soviet countries, continues to be replenished with new masterpieces today.
And the appearance of 72-year-old Sofia Rotaru is simply breathtaking. At her advanced age, she not only actively performs on stage, but also looks stunning. Of course, if in the eighth decade a person can only be given 45, this cannot be done without plastic surgery.
But even the slightest mention of surgeons drives the star crazy. In every interview, she insists that the secret of her eternal youth is allegedly in her love for the audience and creativity. How many transactions does the people's favorite actually have on his account? In this article, TecRussia.ru examines before and after photos and gives a clear answer.
↑ Stages of the creative journey
- Birthday: August 7, 1947
- Height: 170 cm. Weight: 64 kg.
- Parameters: 91-65-94, bust size: 3
It is not for nothing that Sofia Rotaru is considered “their” artist in three countries at once: she is Ukrainian by nationality, her roots are Moldovan, and she has achieved her main creative successes in the Russian expanses. A girl was born in a small village in the Chernivtsi region of the Ukrainian SSR. The father of the family was a foreman, and the mother traded at the market.
The second oldest, Sofia also had 5 sisters and brothers. From an early age she sang in the choir and even then showed great promise. Later, she actively participated in competitions and festivals, where they predicted a great future for her. In addition, Rotaru achieved notable success in sports: she was the school champion in all-around and won the Olympics in running.
All-Union fame came to the young singer in 1964 after a performance at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses and the publication of a photo of Sofia on the cover of the magazine “Ukraine”. After 4 years, she has already reached the world level, receiving championship at the 9th World Festival of Creative Youth.
Pictures of Rotaru appeared in the press, and famous artists admired the power of her voice. People's love was not long in coming and fell upon the girl after performing songs in the musical film “Chervona Ruta”. In 1988, Rotaru received the title of People's Artist of the USSR.
At the same time, the star tried herself in cinema: her debut took place in 1980 in the film “Where Are You, Love?” It was immediately followed by filming in the films “Soul”, “Sofia Rotaru Invites You”, “Monologue about Love”. In 2004, the singer played one of the key roles in the musical film “Sorochinskaya Fair” by Konstantin Meladze. His most recent film work was the film “Little Red Riding Hood,” which was released in 2009.
After the collapse of the Union, Rotaru's popularity did not fade. Her records “Khutoryanka”, “Night of Love” and “Love Me” sold like hot cakes. Sofia's total repertoire includes more than 500 songs in different languages, included in 21 albums. Now she is no less active in her creative work, and has won the Golden Gramophone award 12 times, and in the winter of 2022 she replaced Alla Pugacheva as the central figure at the Blue Light.
↑ One love for life
Rotaru’s husband, Anatoly Evdokimenko, first saw the artist in 1964 on the pages of the magazine “Ukraine” that made her famous. Subsequently, it was he who was involved in staging and organizing the singer’s concert programs. Already in 1968, the creative tandem grew into a family one, and 2 years later the couple had a boy, Ruslan.
Unfortunately, Sofia's husband died in 2002 from a stroke. The artist took the loss seriously and canceled all concerts, tours and filming. Her son and grandchildren were able to bring her back to life after the loss of a loved one. Now she devotes herself entirely to her family.
↑ What plastic surgeries did Sofia Rotaru have?
Sofia Mikhailovna’s appearance today is no less impressive than in her youth. Excellent shape, smooth skin and fresh look even in photos without filters or stage makeup. What's the secret?
Not long ago, an interview with Olga Konyakhina, the former director of the artist with whom they collaborated for more than 10 years, appeared online. As you know, in 2002 a scandal broke out between the partners and Rotaru sent her former partner to jail for fraud. Today Olga openly says that Sofia does not often, but regularly, undergo plastic surgery. The artist also had experience of unsuccessful intervention. However, the singer knows when to stop and does everything to maintain maximum naturalness of her face.
Our expert, plastic surgeon Ilya Vyacheslavovich Sergeev from the capital ]DoctorPlastic[/anchor], agrees with this opinion. Together with him, we looked at photos of Rotaru before and after plastic surgery and made several conclusions:
↑ The area around the eyes as the main marker of a woman’s aging
Of course, the first thing that most clearly reveals age is the condition of the skin in the periorbital zone. It is here that the wrinkled network first appears, the upper eyelids stretch and droop in folds, and as a result the person looks dissatisfied, tired, and even older than his age.

Probably, Sofia Rotaru had blepharoplasty to tidy up the condition of the upper and lower eyelids and remove fatty hernias under the eyes.
When comparing the photos, it looks like the operations slightly changed the shape of the singer’s eyes, but not too radically, without distortion or a stretched effect. But the look has become noticeably more fresh and open.
↑ Facelift is the main method of combating aging
According to former director of Rotaru Olga Konyakhina, the star has been doing circular lifts regularly for a long time - once every 5-6 years to maintain the result.
- Ilya Sergeev
:
At her age, it is almost impossible to prevent sagging jowls and skin on the neck without plastic surgery, no matter how good the genetics are. Most likely, at least one surgical lift actually took place. Also, clear and well-defined cheekbones attract attention, but I think this is not a matter of surgery, this effect can be achieved with the help of hyaluronic acid fillers.
It is possible that Sofya Mikhailovna, in addition to the lift, also resorted to liposuction in the chin area, so that excess fat, which inevitably forms here with age, even in the slenderest people, would not spoil the so-called “angle of youth” - the treasured 90 degrees between the lower jaw line and neck.
↑ How to get rid of wrinkles after 70?
A smooth forehead, shallow facial folds and excellent condition of the nasolabial area - all this is clearly visible not only in retouched photographs of Rotaru, but also in any videos, including those shot by the ubiquitous paparazzi, where the star appears without multi-layered makeup.
- Ilya Sergeev
:
Judging by the state of her forehead and eyebrows, we can assume that Sofia is getting Botox injections. Moreover, her facial muscles work well, this can be seen when she frowns a little. If injections took place, they were done very competently and correctly.
It is logical to assume that this is not the only cosmetic procedure with which Rotaru maintains the skin in good condition and preserves the effect of tightening. Perhaps she does biorevitalization (not only of the face, but also of the décolleté) and laser peelings. In some sources you can find suggestions that Sofia tried placental therapy, but it is impossible to say anything from photographs alone.
↑ Rhinoplasty is a big question
Since the nineties of the last century, journalists have been arguing about whether Rotaru had a nose job. When comparing photographs, you can see that in his youth the star had rather wide wings and a massive back. Today everything looks much neater, although there are no fundamental differences in shape.
But it is impossible to say unequivocally that the reason for these changes lies in the operation performed. It is much more likely that the issue here is not rhinoplasty, but natural age-related changes, different makeup and lighting.
↑ Lip fillers - why?
Nowadays it’s difficult to find at least one show business star who doesn’t poke her lips with hyaluronic acid. But Sofya Mikhailovna, it seems, decided to stay away from this trend. If she does such injections, then in very minimal quantities, and not at all to increase volume, but only to smooth and moisturize older skin.
According to modern canons, her lips, especially the upper one, are very thin, but the main way to correct this point for Rotaru is only skillfully applied lipstick. Which, in fact, one can only rejoice at.
↑ How to keep your teeth snow-white and beautiful?
An open, radiant smile has long been Sofia’s calling card, and even at 72, she is not at all shy and demonstrates it at every opportunity. This, of course, could not have happened without the help of dentists.
The latest photos clearly show that the shape of the singer’s jaw and teeth has not changed much since her youth, but the perfectly white color and smooth lower edge indicate installed veneers - these are thin metal-ceramic overlays that are attached to the front and sometimes side teeth from above. And I must admit, the result turned out to be absolutely natural, in no way comparable to the infamous “porcelain” of Maria Gorban.
↑ How Sofia Rotaru loses weight and maintains her figure
In any photo of herself, whether in her youth, in adulthood, or in old age, the singer appears in ideal shape. No excess fat, which many people “suffer from” during or after pregnancy and hormonal changes in the body. And, contrary to public expectations, the secret does not lie in the latest liposuction techniques.
The fact is that Rotaru adheres to a strict diet, and if the scales show “bad” dynamics, he goes on a completely ascetic diet of rice and vegetables. With such willpower, no plastic surgery is needed, especially with good initial data. The former director of Sofia, Olga Konyakhina, admitted that she herself tried to eat the same diet, but very quickly fell apart: she did not have enough willpower and self-discipline.
↑ Secrets of the neckline: was there plastic surgery?
Rotaru does not welcome overly revealing outfits: even in the early 90s, when some of her colleagues appeared on stage literally in their underwear, she remained true to her discreet style and image. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to judge the transformation of her bust. There are no obvious signs in the photo that Sofia underwent mammoplasty or breast lift (after childbirth or to correct natural age-related ptosis).
- Total: Sofia Rotaru is one of the few representatives of the Russian stage who can boast of truly high-quality plasticity. She diligently denies any anti-aging operations, but firstly, she definitely did them, and secondly, it makes sense to be proud of her results. The singer looks at least 25 years younger than her age and at the same time has retained her natural features, facial expressions and attractiveness, avoiding the sad experience of many other stars who have become real victims of plastic surgery.
Nadezhda Babkina (67 years old)
Everyone remembers how Nadezhda Babkina looked 30 years younger with the appearance of her young husband, for which he undoubtedly has great respect! But the secret of the artist’s youth is not only in love: a whole team of specialists worked hard here! Facelift, neck lift and liposuction, blepharoplasty, lip augmentation and cheekbone correction, Botox injections...

Lyubov Uspenskaya (63 years old)
“Queen of Russian chanson” Lyubov Uspenskaya is stepping on the toes of the young with her appearance! Just look at the artist’s outfits! So frank and translucent! And most importantly, how they go to Uspenskaya! In my opinion, Lyubov Zalmanovna looks better now than she did at 30! Of course, the artist did a lot for this. At first she “inflated” her curves as much as possible, then she came to her senses and corrected them. I removed the biopolymer gel from my lips, due to which the “dumplings” turned into a beautiful feminine mouth. In addition to the already classic face and neck lifts in our article, threads, blepharoplasty, and contouring, the artist also had rhinoplasty and bullhorn surgery—a lift of the upper lip. And with what pride the singer shows off her luxurious breasts! And you can understand it, very high quality work!
- Circular face and neck lift: the cost of the procedure varies from 300 thousand to 1 million rubles.
- Blepharoplasty of the eyelids: cost from 100,000 to 200,000 rubles.
- Removing biopolymer gel from lips costs from 30,000 to 60,000 rubles.
- Contour plastic surgery with fillers based on hyaluronic acid: lip augmentation - from 30,000 rubles, correction of cheekbones - from 50,000 rubles.
- A facelift using threads will cost from 50,000 to 300,000 rubles.
- Rhinoplasty cost Uspenskaya about 300,000 rubles.
- An upper lip lift (bulhorn-plasty) costs from 60,000 to 100,000 rubles.
- The average cost of augmentation mammoplasty is 250,000 rubles.
The total cost of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures for Uspenskaya definitely exceeds 2 million rubles.
Irina Allegrova (65 years old)
“The Empress of the Russian stage” Irina Allegrova retains her natural youth and beauty for a surprisingly long time. And although she completely refuses to admit her close acquaintance with plastic surgeons, I think she could not have done without their help in recent years. I could be wrong, but I can see the results of a facelift. Blepharoplasty definitely happened: at 65 years old, the eyes cannot remain so open on their own - everyone’s eyelid droops, regardless of whether you are a star or a housewife! Lip augmentation is also obvious, but very delicate. Hyaluronic acid injections moisturize the singer's smooth and dazzling skin. Irina Alexandrovna’s gorgeous neckline always raises questions! But, perhaps, it was possible to preserve it without a lift, and emphasize it with correctly selected outfits.
- Circular face and neck lift: the cost of the procedure varies from 300 thousand to 1 million rubles.
- Blepharoplasty of the eyelids: cost from 100,000 to 200,000 rubles.
- Lip contouring with fillers based on hyaluronic acid costs from 30,000 rubles.
Irina Allegrova took about 1 million rubles to the surgeons.
Sofia Rotaru has repeatedly gone under the knife of plastic surgeons. Star cosmetologist Mariyat Mukhina spoke in more detail about the “Word and Deed” operations the star underwent.
People's Artist of the USSR Sofia Rotaru turned 73 today. The performer does not look her age at all. It seems that Rotaru stopped aging 20 years ago. Of course, such miracles do not happen, and in the case of the artist, it could not have happened without the magic wand of plastic surgeons.
“Naturally, every specialist can see that Sofia Rotaru has had plastic surgery more than once. Plus she constantly does skincare treatments. Facial plastic surgery in the form of surgical eyelid lift (blepharoplasty), circular face lift, forehead lifts may have been done separately. Lifting the lower part of the face - this can be done without anesthesia in order to emphasize the angle of youth and cheekbones. And of course, it is clear that the skin is quite well-groomed, this means that old skin cells are constantly removed with peelings, and moisturizing is done in the form of injection biorevitalization procedures,” said the cosmetologist.
In addition to plastic surgery and injections, it is possible that Rotaru welcomes alternative medicine . For example, acupuncture is a procedure in which needles are inserted into certain points of the human body. Acupuncture is a key component in Chinese traditional medicine. There are many different opinions regarding the effectiveness of such a procedure. Some believe that the positive effects of acupuncture include increased immunity, normalization of hormones, and relief from migraines. At the same time, acupuncture also has contraindications.
“And we know that Sofia Rotaru has repeatedly given interviews that she uses unconventional methods of treatment. And I don’t exclude the possibility that there is acupuncture, acupuncture and other types of medicine,” says Mukhina.
The beauty of Rotaru is maintained by a large number of plastic surgeries and injections. Surgical intervention simply cannot be hidden. But, among other things, Rotaru’s appearance allows her to still go on stage for a lot of money.
“Our Sofia Rotaru has been done and remade, but successfully. Thanks to maintenance and care, it stays in the top. She truly shows herself in the most chic form, which is why her concerts are so expensive. And she does not reduce the price for corporate events. Rotaru is still making money because he supports himself,” says the star cosmetologist.
Self-care is a truly important nuance that should be in the life of every girl and woman. The aging process begins at the age of 25, so it is important not to miss the moment and do everything to preserve your youth.
“Aging begins at the age of 25, so it is necessary to do peelings and biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid. It has already been noticed that those who do biorevitalization and all kinds of injection procedures - their body completely receives hyaluronic acid, which retains fluid. Aging is the process of using up your own hyaluronic acid and losing fluid. Tissue dehydration occurs, nothing more than the loss of hyaluronic acid. Therefore, the body needs to take hyaluronic acid from the outside, and women’s joints, spine and even heart valves become better,” the interlocutor noted.
Hyaluronic acid injections are anti-aging therapy. Despite the fact that the injections are injected locally, the whole body benefits.
Modern anti-aging methods allow you to “deceive” nature. There are many striking examples. For example, Russian actress Irina Muravyova, who undergoes rejuvenation procedures and is not shy about talking about it. And there is also the French film actress, sex symbol of the 1950s and 60s, Brigitte Bardot, who decided to “age gracefully” without various cosmetic procedures.
“Compare this beautiful naturally aging star, who you can’t look at without tears, and our beauty Irina Muravyova, who still plays and is in demand,” says the cosmetologist.
It is certainly necessary to take care of your face and body, and how - this is the choice of every girl. The main thing is to love yourself and devote time to your beauty, and the body will definitely thank the fair sex with longevity and eternal youth.
