Vera Brezhneva, almost from the very beginning of her career, is considered one of the sexiest women in Russia, according to the men's magazine Maxim. And it’s not surprising, because the singer really has a spectacular appearance, which drives Russian men crazy with her memorable forms.
However, for many years fans have been arguing - is Vera Brezhneva’s beauty natural or is it the result of the competent work of a surgeon and cosmetologist? The star herself claims that she has never resorted to any plastic surgery, but experts say the opposite.

Biography of Vera Brezhneva
On February 3, 1982, in the small provincial town of Ukraine, Dneprodzerzhinsk, a cute little girl, Vera Galushka, was born. In addition to the baby, three more sisters Galina, Vika and Nastya were brought up in a large family. Parents tried their best to provide for their children while working at the Pridneprovsky chemical plant. The family was not materially well-off, so they did not buy new clothes for the girl and her sisters.
At school, the girl was lost against the background of beautiful and dressed up classmates. Her outfit was the same, so her classmates did not accept her into their company. Despite all the problems, the Ukrainian was distinguished by her artistry, she was fond of karate, rhythmic gymnastics, basketball and handball. She successfully completed secretarial courses and received a driver's license. During particularly difficult moments in her life, Madame Galushka worked as a nanny and weeded flower beds at Zelenstroy. Due to lack of money, the girl was unable to become a lawyer, but she graduated from a railway university and received a diploma in economics.
How a Diamond Becomes a Diamond
If you think that it is realistic to cut a diamond at home, we hasten to disappoint you. Nowadays, before cutting, the mineral goes through several stages of preparation. First, the stone is assessed by experts who determine the degree of its jewelry: color, purity, number of defects. One rough diamond can produce several diamonds if cutters decide that smaller stones will be more expensive than the largest one. Read more about the difference between a diamond and a diamond →
To find large stones, the ore is x-rayed in special machines - diamonds tend to glow for some time after irradiation. After this, markings are applied to the rough diamond so as to cut off as little as possible, and the diamond will be as large as possible. But before falling into the hands of a cutter, diamonds undergo another level of processing - roughing.
How diamonds are cut:
- First, a specialist visually evaluates the raw diamond, looking for the optimal method of processing and dividing it into parts. Then he applies heated glue to the holder over the saw blade, coated with diamond chips and special oil. On average, it would take up to 4 hours to cut one average rough diamond.
- The second stage of the process is grinding, or shaping the rough diamond. The initial shape is set by a computer using 3D modeling, after which the cutter places the diamond on the cutting kitch (bearing arm) and securely fastens it. Then he presses a cast-iron disk against the stone, which, as it rotates, grinds off all the roughness left by the diamond cutter. They barely touch, but at the same time all the vices turn into dust. The grinding process takes another 3-4 hours.
- Cutting directly begins from the platform - the upper flat face of the stone. Following the platform, the rims are cut at such an angle that they optimally meet at the bottom of the product. The specialist carefully ensures that the edges are mirrored in relation to each other, maximally reflecting and scattering the light entering the stone. After all, this is how the quality of a diamond cut is determined. He is helped in this by a device that measures the angles of the diamond’s facets and gives them an inclination of 42°.
- The specialist then applies the edges that are located immediately below the flat area, the so-called crown. And then he carves a belt - a ring of edges that separates the crown from the rims.
- Acid adds the finishing touch to turning diamonds into brilliants - it removes residual dust from cut stones.
Star cast of "VIA Gra"
The girl's finest hour came in June 2002. Luckily for her, the group “VIA Gra” came to the city of Dnepropetrovsk with a concert. Almost the entire city came running to look at the famous screen stars. When several fans were invited to the stage to sing together the legendary “Attempt No. 5,” the young lady was among the chosen ones. With great surprise, the group's producer Dmitry Kostyuk noted Vera's artistry, her rich voice and plasticity of movements.
After the concert, the producer called back and invited our main character to try herself as part of the group. At this moment, a new star of Russian show business, Vera Brezhneva, was born, because the surname Galushka sounded funny and simple. The first release of the updated group took place in 2003. Over time, Vera Brezhneva, Nadezhda Granovskaya and Anna Sedokova began to be called the “golden composition” of the group.
After some time, Verochka left the group for free swimming, starting a solo career. Songs, videos and wild popularity gave rise to increased attention to the life and appearance of the sexy blonde. On the Internet, on the social network Instagram, battles broke out over the fact that there is nothing natural in the girl’s beauty, and the whole point is that the artist has undergone numerous plastic surgeries.
What are facets and how does cutting occur?
Before we find out how many edges there are, let’s first remember what a face is? When viewed from a geometry and jewelry perspective, a facet is a flat surface that is connected at an angle to another or other flat surfaces at a specific angle. For example, if you take a square, then its flat side is a face that is connected to others at an angle of 900. Now it has become a little easier in general understanding.
Now let's see how they even appear? It all starts with finding a large diamond. It should be noted that not everyone will qualify. In some places it will not be clean, in others it will have other defects. A diamond before cutting weighs significantly more than a diamond. A diamond is a cut diamond.
After a detailed study and calculations (checking them several times), the master gets down to business. This approach is precisely described by the saying “measure seven times, cut once.” Many cutters pass on all the secrets of their art from generation to generation, thereby accumulating experience in transforming an ordinary precious mineral into a work of art.
This art has been studied for many years. Reconstructing a treasure from an inhospitable piece of stone requires not only in-depth knowledge of geometry, geology, optics, polishing and strength of materials, but also the availability of special (usually expensive) professional tools.
The long road to a masterpiece or who was the first to cut a diamond
The first cutters did not worry about processing. They took a diamond or other precious stone, ground it down, made several edges, polished it, polished it, and that’s it. This continued until the mid-50s of the 15th century. At this time, one jeweler of the Duke of Burgundy made a proposal to process the stone in the shape of a rose (the ancient Indians had long used this technology). For a long period of time, this method was considered the most basic and only.
In 1961, that is, literally quite recently, A. Neji proposed a processing that contained 65 facets (we will describe what this is a little later). This cutting method was modestly called “Princess”.
Definitions of Diamond Parts
Straight to the point.
- The upper part of the diamond is usually called the crown, and the lower part is called the pavilion. The names themselves were born during the cutting of diamonds.
- And the largest facet of the diamond crown (always facing the viewer) is called the platform.
- From a geometry point of view, three more “definitions” are missing. The line that separates the pavilion and the crown of the faceted stone is the girdle. Agree, an interesting, beautiful, and bewitching definition.
- The following two definitions are classified in the same “group” because they have practically the same goal, which is practically the same. The point where all the edges converge is called a tenon. Sometimes, due to specific issues when cutting or the impossibility of processing a stone with a spike, an alternative is used, called a colette - a facet that is made instead of a spike and serves to prevent fracture of a piece of stone art.
- As promised, we’ll tell you what a facet is. A facet is a specially beveled edge processed by grinding and subsequent polishing. The more there are, the brighter the diamond plays in the sun and the more majestic it looks.
Plastic surgery by Vera Brezhneva
Vera Brezhneva before and after plastic surgery was strikingly different in the effectiveness and brightness of her appearance. The singer claims that she is incredibly angry about comments about plastic surgery, loves her appearance, takes care of herself and is not going to hide facial wrinkles. However, experts, looking at the photo of Vera Brezhneva, note the following changes.
- Rhinoplasty. Before plastic surgery, Vera Brezhneva looked like an ordinary girl. Her nose looked wide on her delicate face. Initially, the nose slightly simplified the appearance of the stage star, so she turned to specialists for help. Comparing the current photos of the singer with earlier copies, we note that after rhinoplasty, the girl began to look aristocratic. The nose became thinner, and its tip became sharper and acquired a regular, symmetrical shape. Successful rhinoplasty was performed by such stars as Maria Pogrebnyak, Alena Shishkova, Victoria Lopyreva, Masha Malinovskaya and others.
- Correction of cheekbones. The famous singer has literally recognizable cheekbones. In her youth, the girl’s face looked much larger and fuller, and her cheekbones did not stand out at all.
The beauty declares that the rumors about her cheekbone plastic surgery are complete nonsense, and that they arose from the fact that the girl lost a lot of weight (Ekaterina Varnava, a famous artist of the humorous genre, justified her incredibly thin cheekbones in the same way). Qualified specialists, in turn, claim that this could not have happened without their colleagues.
Sharply sunken cheekbones without a gram of fat could appear only after plastic surgery, and losing weight only emphasized the effect. In addition, the singer takes vitamins to maintain skin tightness and systematically makes tonic face masks.
- Mamoplasty. Vera Brezhneva's plastic surgery also affected her breasts. The birth of two daughters did not affect the woman’s figure. Her breasts look just as young and well-groomed. Of course, physical exercise helps the singer keep herself in good shape, but, according to doctors, it is impossible to restore breasts of such a large size without the help of implants after two births.
The singer wants to prove the opposite to the public to such an extent that at one of her concerts she allowed a fan to touch her own bust. The trick worked, since modern silicone implants feel no different from natural female charms. The bust of Brezhneva has not undergone any changes since then, but remains consistently beautiful. This fact is supported by many erotic photo shoots in which the naked star shows off a gorgeous bust.
- Lip surgery After plastic surgery, Vera Brezhneva became a sex symbol of Russia. In addition to the famous mole and beautiful cheekbones, Galushka is known for her plump lips. The possibility cannot be ruled out that the singer periodically pumps up her lips with hyaluronic acid. A girl in lip makeup loves nude style or radically red lipstick.
- Losing weight. No matter what they say about Vera Brezhneva’s operations, the singer achieved a slim figure on her own. Now, at less than 35 years old, she is 171 centimeters tall and weighs only 53 kg.
The girl explains the secret of her slimness very simply. According to her, everything that every woman needs to look good is given to her from birth. Only the laziness of the young lady and the reluctance to work on herself turn beauties into overfed ladies of indeterminate age.
The former lead singer of Viagra herself systematically goes in for sports: Pilates, exercises on machines, fitness and especially yoga. In addition, she is passionate about proper nutrition and sometimes gets into shape with the help of a citrus diet.
- Touches to the portrait. Over the years, Russian celebrities only become prettier; even possible plastic surgery does not spoil her natural beauty. Innate sexuality cannot go unnoticed. Note that, compared to her younger years, the girl took off her glasses and began wearing vision-correcting contact lenses. After joining the VIA Gra group, she learned how to properly apply fashionable makeup and completely changed her wardrobe.
Latest news 2022
Seeing Vera’s photos on Instagram, fans became worried. The girl does not look fresh and there are too many wrinkles on her face. Apparently we have forgotten what natural beauty looks like after 30. Plastic surgeons, commenting on Brezhneva’s photo, confirm that everything is fine with her. This is a natural process of skin aging.
The singer takes very good care of her skin; without makeup she doesn’t look her age, but much younger. And the fact that she is not shy about posting photos without makeup on the Internet says a lot - the girl is not afraid of the natural processes of aging.
Other experts have a different opinion and advise Brezhneva to immediately begin a course of collagen injections.
Blepharoplasty is a closed topic for Vera Brezhneva. Her eyes are asymmetrically located, her face is so individual that the procedure will simply disfigure the girl.
In a few years, Brezhneva’s eyelids will droop significantly and bruises will appear under the eyes. You will definitely have to do an eyelid lift.
Personal life of a famous singer
The striking appearance of the spectacular blonde contributed to the fact that her personal life was seething with Mexican passions.
- In 2000, the celebrity began to live with businessman Vitaly Voichenko. The civil marriage did not last long, and after the birth of their daughter Sofia, the couple separated. The first husband claims that it was he who taught the future star to dress properly, put on makeup and choose her hairstyle. The man says that his ex-wife had no natural taste.
- In 2006, the singer married Ukrainian businessman Mikhail Kiperman. In this marriage, the couple had a daughter, Sarah. In 2012, the family broke up. The reasons for the separation are still not clear. Some argue that the reason for the breakup was Kiperman’s millions of debts to the bank, others believe that the couple divorced because of Mikhail’s assault.
- In 2014, the world of show business was simply blown up by the news that Vera Brezhneva and producer Konstantin Meladze were developing a whirlwind romance. Initially, the couple hid their relationship, but over time they began to appear at parties and other events together. The wedding, played in secret from journalists, took place in 2015 in Italy. In 2016, paparazzi caught a married couple near a perinatal center for star women in labor. While the pop star does not confirm the gossip that she is pregnant, she does not deny this fact either.
The famous singer and actress Mrs. Brezhneva remains an attractive, sexy woman in her years. She combines raising children, family life and active sports with a successful career. In this case, plastic surgery only enhanced the woman’s brilliant beauty.
Fame suits you: photos of stars before and after fame
Recently, the Transformers star has been increasingly compared to Angelina Jolie. But it turns out that the actress did not always have such seductive forms. Fox had rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and lip augmentation. All operations are successful.
Recently, many girls come with her photographs and ask to make themselves the same nose as the actress. In the 90s, many girls asked to have the same breasts and lips as Pamela. The story of how silicone froze in her lips and the TV presenter could not say a word spread across all the tabloids. Due to repeated eyelid surgery, Lyudmila Markovna’s eyes no longer close completely. In addition, her eyes often and severely swell, as a result of which the actress actually goes completely blind for a while.
I think she tried everything she could on herself. There are a lot of such women in our clinic; they become addicted to plastic surgery like a drug. The task of a self-respecting surgeon is to refuse to perform operations on such patients and advise them to consult a psychologist. On the eve of the presentation of the Tatu group’s latest album, “Cheerful Smiles,” the girl enlarged her already rather large lips. The public was shocked by Volkova’s smile.
The singer is 31 years old, and after giving birth to two daughters, her bust simply cannot look so attractive. Of course, Vera goes in for sports, pumps up her abs, and maintains her diet. If you look at her youthful photographs, you will notice that the singer’s nose used to be much wider and did not look as pretty as it does now.
Free swimming artist
It seems that nothing influenced the singer’s beautiful appearance: neither numerous filming, nor endless tours around the country, but only in 2007 Vera Brezhneva announced that she was leaving the group and going on a free voyage.
When the artist returned from her vacation to the stage, she was full of enthusiasm and ideas. Vera Brezhnev was unrecognizable; her photos were scattered across all glossy magazines, and the popular and fashionable magazine Maxim named the singer the sexiest woman in Russia.
She refuted all the attacks that said that Vera had resorted to plastic surgery again, saying: “I didn’t make any changes to my body, everything is mine, real - my cheekbones acquired this shape after losing weight, and there’s not even anything to cling to my lips, I didn’t pump anything into them.”
A little history
A diamond is not distinguished by its brilliance and in this parameter is significantly inferior to a diamond. It is not surprising that until stones were learned to be processed, they were not in great demand.
The situation changed radically when one of the court jewelers came up with the idea of working a little with the diamond. He subjected it to processing, the master created only a few faces and presented the result of the work to the king. This happened in the 16th century, since then diamonds have become rare and expensive, they began to be perceived as a symbol of power and prosperity.
Initially, they used a rose-shaped cut: jewelers created only a few facets by polishing the diamond a little. However, this was enough for the stone to begin to sparkle.
Today, this form of processing is considered obsolete, but crystals are still cut in this way, since “rose” has two significant advantages: it is easy to perform and allows you to minimize costs.
During processing, the mineral loses from 35 to 70% of its original mass. If the stone is rare and expensive, then a complex cut can significantly reduce its weight - for this reason, a jeweler may use a rose-shaped cut.
Despite the fact that diamonds began to be processed a long time ago, jewelers did not immediately achieve significant success in this matter.
In 1919, mathematician Marcel Tolkowsky was able to calculate the ideal proportions of diamonds. It is worth noting that back in the 17th century there was a cut similar to diamond or classic, but this method of processing crystals was far from ideal.
Thanks to the calculations of Marcel Tolkowsky, it was possible to create a cut in which light entered the stone through the crown, it was refracted from the faces that were located below. As a result, the light began to play with rays, a “rainbow” was created. This was the so-called ideal cut of 57 falsettos, which is still used today.
Today, there are several forms of diamond processing; the cutting method largely depends on the size of the stone and the presence of defects in its structure.
Yana Rudkovskaya
The famous producer and simply beautiful woman Yana Rudkovskaya has made her way from fatal and sexy images to more feminine and stylish ones. But when a photograph from the Sochi embankment in 1992 hit the Internet, everyone was surprised: a simple pretty girl with cute cheeks and curls, dressed in the spirit of that time, turned out to be none other than Yana Rudkovskaya.
