Put on the crown: what is known about Yulia Tymoshenko’s illness

Conspiracy theory

When Yulia Tymoshenko announced almost immediately after her arrest in August 2011 that she had health problems, a theory arose that she had contracted leprosy. The doctors who voiced this version noted that the woman complained of the appearance of strange bruises and rashes on her body. It should be noted that this version has not received any official confirmation. At the same time, fans of conspiracy theories noted that, judging by the published photographs, the ex-prime minister’s face had changed greatly: it became puffy, his earlobes increased in size. Behind all this they saw signs of leprosy.

The explanation for the fact that after imprisonment and putting herself in order, Yulia Vladimirovna literally acquired a second youth was simple: today, leprosy in the early stages can be treated and controlled with antibiotics. And, according to doctors who are fans of conspiracy theories, the woman simply managed to start therapy on time.

The disease is obvious. Is it true that many politicians have suffered from leprosy? More details

Plastic surgery of politicians (Photo)

I watched a very interesting film “Scalpel for First Persons” and it inspired me to write this post. I want to write about plastic surgeries of politicians.

It is clear that Soviet presidents did not undergo plastic surgery. In those days there was a cult of the worker with a cigarette in his mouth, spitting on the ground. In order not to distance themselves from the people, politicians did not think about any kind of plastic surgery. The only one who was offered... no, not an opiate, but a cosmetic procedure, was M. Gorbachev - he was offered to remove the famous birthmark, but he refused.

The film says that in 1995 Boris Yeltsin underwent rhinoplasty for medical reasons. He had a long-standing injury to his nose and found it difficult to breathe. B. Yeltsin’s inner circle tried to persuade him to go on the drug for a long time, but he did not agree to any one. Then the head of the security service of that time, A. Kerzhakov, underwent surgery himself - he also had a long-standing nose injury, in order to inspire the president by his example. Only after this does Yeltsin agree to undergo surgery.

But it is simply impossible to imagine modern politics without plastic surgery. Of course, everyone is discussing whether V.V. Putin injects Botox. The sudden absence of facial wrinkles that previously “adorned” the president’s face is very suspicious. For his age, the Russian president is certainly in excellent shape. One of the leading British surgeons even suggested that surgery could not have happened without surgery. “Unfortunately, now the Russian president looks a little strange. Experts call this effect “fish eyes.” The eyes look empty." Decide for yourself whether this is so

This is what V.V.P looked like at the beginning of 2000. There are wrinkles on the forehead, bags in the eyes, and this is how it is now

Don't you see the difference??? Considering that 10 years have passed.

Has Vladimir Putin had plastic surgery?

Of course, an unambiguous answer to this question is unlikely to be voiced by any of the “initiated” specialists - after all, we are not talking about another pop star, but about actually the first person of the country.

However, based on photographs of Vladimir Putin over the years, we can state with a high degree of confidence that at least once plastic surgeons did work on his appearance.

As for the specifics, there are very different assumptions about what kind of plastic surgery Putin performed. Almost no one doubts the blepharoplasty performed by the prime minister. Other common versions include brow lift, Botox, and cheekbone augmentation with fillers.

Photos of Vladimir Putin before and after plastic surgery

For the first time they started talking about Putin's possible plastic surgery at the end of October 2010. During a planned visit to Ukraine, dark blue swelling clearly appeared on the prime minister’s face. They could be mistaken for bruises (especially given Putin’s passion for martial arts), but the swelling had an absolutely symmetrical, regular shape and affected both eyes, which ruled out the possibility of vascular rupture.

The prime minister's press secretary said that Putin had recently had a difficult work schedule - however, this version does not stand up to criticism, since the location of the “bruises” did not correspond to the usual circles under the eyes that arise as a result of fatigue and lack of sleep.

At the same time, assumptions about plastic surgery (in general, such swelling often occurs after blepharoplasty and some types of facelifts) looked equally doubtful, since there was no noticeable rejuvenating effect on Vladimir Putin’s face.

Plastic surgeon Rostislav Valikhnovsky, who worked on Viktor Yushchenko’s face, said that we are talking about the consequences of Botox injections. This is indirectly confirmed by the prime minister’s very behavior - his facial expressions at the said meeting were very restrained and stern, without a hint of a smile.

“This is not the first time Putin has been injected with Botox, but for about a year and a half now,” Valikhnovsky expressed his assumptions. “And in the first days after the procedure, swelling may indeed occur, which is difficult to cover up.”

Vladimir Putin's eyelid surgery

A new stage of discussions related to possible plastic surgeries for Vladimir Putin began at the end of September 2011, after the prime minister appeared at the United Russia congress in Moscow, where the upcoming “political castling” was announced.

Both domestic and world media unanimously spoke about the wonderful transformations in the prime minister’s appearance - his skin looked smooth and elastic, numerous wrinkles and bags under his eyes disappeared.

Here there was practically no doubt: Putin’s new impressive appearance is the result of successful blepharoplasty. Some experts went even further, claiming that the prime minister also underwent a brow lift, as well as filler injections into the cheekbones.

In the fall of 2012, the famous Chelyabinsk surgeon Alexander Pukhov made a loud statement: he confirmed the fact of eyelid surgery and said that he personally knows the specialist who operated on the president.

Of course, the discussions could not remain without political overtones. And if the Russian press, except for the most ardent oppositionists, perceived the changes positively, then the British media, which traditionally do not like our country, with obvious pleasure printed not too impartial comments from local experts - they say they overtightened it here, they tweaked it there, it didn’t work out very well... In addition, there was a humorous suggestion that that Putin received the surgeon’s “contacts” from his longtime friend and big fan of plastic surgery, Silvio Berlusconi.

But this does not change the essence - on the eve of his 59th birthday, Putin looks great. And, regardless of his political career, both British top officials and many leaders of the Russian opposition can envy such an appearance.

And the ex-president of Ukraine V. Yushchenko? Remember his unhealthy complexion, his skin covered in bumps? Yushchenko himself explained this as dioxin poisoning. However, over time, obvious improvements occurred in the ex-president’s face - the face became lighter, the lumpy skin disappeared, and there was no longer a greenish-gray tint that so frightened us, TV viewers. What happened? The official version is that 95% of toxins have been removed from the body. But there is another opinion, more truthful - thanks to laser resurfacing and a series of peelings, Yushchenko’s face was transformed. See for yourself

but in fact the list can be continued. But I'll stop for now. And, if you are interested, I will continue with pleasure.

Has Alexander Lukashenko had plastic surgery?

If we compare recent photographs of the Belarusian president with older ones, we can highlight the following main changes in the appearance of Alexander Grigorievich:

• Bags under the eyes and signs of ptosis of the lower eyelids disappeared
• Smoothed out crow's feet on the outer corners of the eyes
• Although the folds on the forehead did not disappear completely, they became much less pronounced
• Volume has increased in the cheek area, they no longer look sunken

It is obvious that the results outlined in the first paragraph could only be achieved by Lukashenko with the help of plastic surgery - blepharoplasty. The second and third points clearly point to Botox. As for the fourth, we can talk about both injection contouring and simple normalization of diet and sleep.

This is a fairly standard “business-political” set of procedures: they combine a strong anti-aging effect with a minimal recovery period, and at the same time they are not noticeable, since they do not affect the individual characteristics and general proportions of the face.

Of course, neither the president himself nor his press service give any comments on this issue and prefer not to notice the increased public interest in the appearance of the “father.” Which, however, does not prevent us from turning to a much more plausible source of information - photographs of Lukashenko, clearly illustrating his transformations.

Looking at them, one can note that Alexander Grigorievich has been fighting wrinkles for several years now: the area around the eyes was already smooth when he accepted congratulations on his victory in the elections in 2010. But eyelid surgery, apparently, took place in mid-2012.

Perhaps Lukashenko thought about plastic surgery during one of his meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who also tried a combination of blepharoplasty and Botox. However, this does not change the fact that the operations and procedures performed benefited the Belarusian leader, because appearance for a politician of this level is an important part of the profession and its impeccability has not only aesthetic, but also deep symbolic meaning.

Yulia Tymoshenko is rightfully considered a star not only of Ukrainian politics, but of the entire post-Soviet space. Of course, politicians are not actors or TV presenters, but they are still public people who are always in sight. Therefore, they are carefully watched by millions of eyes. Plastic surgeries of stars are discussed: successful and unsuccessful, done in secret and displayed in public - they still become public knowledge.

Tymoshenko is undoubtedly a star. It may not be on a global scale, but it is well known (not everyone and does not always love it) both in Ukraine and Russia. In addition, it is common for a woman to strive to look dignified at any age and attract the attention of others. This is probably why for her anniversary, and last year Yulia turned 50 years old, the political lady decided to work on her appearance.

Of course, Yulia Tymoshenko's plasticity was not on display. But, if you compare her photos from different periods of her life, the changes are noticeable. Of course, there were no global plastic surgeries. But Botox injections and their consequences are obvious. In addition, in the spring of 2010 there were persistent rumors that the “woman with a braid” had enlarged her lips. Moreover, for some reason, using the old grandfather’s method - they pumped silicone into Yulia’s lips. Professionals already use more advanced fillers. And if we talk about the effect of natural lips, then it would be worth doing cheiloplasty Paris. In any case, it was possible to introduce silicone in such a way as to avoid negative consequences. However, for some reason the procedure was not successful and Yulia Tymoshenko had to postpone her appearance in public for a while and wait for her lips to return to their normal state.

Next is plastic surgery in Dubai. The Emirates are generally famous for their plastic surgery clinics. Therefore, Tymoshenko’s choice can be understood: firstly, elite Arabic service combined with modern European equipment; secondly, she combined business with pleasure: she went on vacation and had plastic surgery; thirdly, there is an explanation for those who are especially curious - they say that she is younger because she rested well. In general, after the vacation, Yulia Tymoshenko’s wrinkles disappeared and her figure became somewhat slimmer.

Botox injections have such a side effect - the face turns into a motionless mask for some time. It is for this reason that plastic surgery of stars very often becomes public knowledge. The immobility of facial expressions is very striking. Even Madonna did not escape this fate at one time. So Yulia Tymoshenko fell for this effect. For some reason, no one believed the story about a successful vacation in the Emirates.

But such a caring attitude towards one’s own appearance only does honor to a political lady. And failures happen to everyone - you just need to draw the appropriate conclusions from them.

Beating

During the period of her struggle with law enforcement agencies for her health, Yulia Vladimirovna made a loud statement that she was beaten when she was transported to the hospital. Representatives of BYuT spoke about this. “During transportation, Yulia Tymoshenko was severely beaten by the escort escorting her. She now has hematomas all over her body, especially a large one on her stomach,” said Sergei Pashinsky, a representative of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc . He also added that her arms were twisted. The presence of hematoma and bruises on the ex-prime minister’s hands was also confirmed by human rights activist Sergei Vlasenko, who was allowed to see Tymoshenko . Representatives of law enforcement agencies did not confirm this version of events, saying that they only led the politician by the arm, but did not beat him in any way.
