Maradona 2015
And on the first day of spring, March 1, 2020, the first high-quality photographs of the transformed football idol of millions appeared online. Of course, there were fewer wrinkles on the legendary player’s face - all thanks to the lift, but fans were surprised by the player’s huge lips, into which, apparently, silicone was pumped in huge quantities. The football player’s face visually increased in size and barely fit into the lens frame of the Venezuelan television program, in which he first appeared before the fans in his new guise.

What prompted the great player to do this to himself, no matter how trivial it may sound, was love. The older football player is apparently tired of being constantly mistaken for the father of his 24-year-old life partner, Rocio Olive . Trying to at least visually reduce the age difference of 30 years, Diego finally decided to go under the surgeon’s knife.
What's special about Cristiano Ronaldo's new girlfriend
The footballer met Georgina just a year ago // Photo: Instagram
In early July, Cristiano confirmed that his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez was expecting a child. He would have continued to hide the good news if the 23-year-old model’s belly hadn’t stuck out more and more in every new photo of the couple. Cristiano himself is partly to blame for making the secret public, as he loves to post half-naked photographs of his children and household members on Instagram. In early July, the 32-year-old athlete drove the entire family, including the noticeably rounder Georgina, into the pool for the sake of a spectacular shot. In the photo, the young lady is holding one of two babies born to Cristiano in June by a surrogate mother.
Jokes immediately began to appear that in his fourth decade, the football player finally realized where ordinary people get their children from. Before Georgina's pregnancy, they were made for him in the laboratory...
I'm spinning and twisting
Cristiano's surrogate story began seven years ago, when his son, Cristiano Jr., appeared out of nowhere. Although the identity of the mother remained a mystery, journalists were able to find out that she was a woman of Latin blood from the Californian town of La Mesa, near San Diego and the Mexican border. Most likely, two ladies were involved in the process - one became an egg donor, and the other carried the baby.
Wealthy people often resort to this practice so that none of the women has any reason to consider the child their own. Specialists from agencies selecting surrogate mothers believe that the mothers of Cristiano’s children were not told his name in order to exclude the possibility of blackmail. A lot of questions arose about the unusual situation. On the technical side, everything was clarified quickly.

In the footballer’s native Portugal, surrogacy is prohibited. It is allowed to resort to only in exceptional cases and only to married couples. Approximately the same attitude towards this “business” is professed in Spain, which became Cristiano’s second home after signing a contract with Real Madrid. If this was how he wanted children, the most obvious route was to the United States.
The big mystery was why would a healthy man who had never suffered from a lack of female attention go through such difficulties to become a father?
RUSSIAN SPIRIT
Many suspected that the athlete had an affair with Irina Shayk under a contract // Photo: Getty Images
Cristiano always protected his personal life from prying eyes, so the public often missed the moment when one little-known model next to him was replaced by another. Ronaldo's friends said that he had long dreamed of having children in order to pass on his unearthly beauty and golden football genes to someone. But I wanted to avoid the “trailer” in the form of a mom greedy for fame and big money. Enemies hinted at Cristiano's unconventional sexual orientation.
To spite his enemies, he almost married the Russian model Irina Shayk. They started dating in May 2010, about a month before Cristiano Jr. was born, and announced their engagement in November 2011. Evil tongues had to be bitten. Everything looked as if the athlete had finally found his soul mate and would henceforth reproduce in the usual way.
The only alarming thing was the statements of his mother Dolores, from which it followed that Cristiano was looking not so much for a wife as for a free nanny for his son. But Ronaldo is not yet ready to live in marriage, remain faithful and observe other conventions, which, by the way, he himself said.
In April 2013, the footballer revealed what he meant when he gave Irina reason to suspect himself of having a relationship with a Brazilian model nicknamed Miss Bam-Bam. Then he managed to appease Shayk, but in January 2020 she still left and announced in an interview that she intended, for a change, to look for a faithful man who would not have secrets from her.
AT FIRST SIGHT

After breaking up with Irina, Cristiano decided that having children with women he knew was really too troublesome. And you can safely entrust upbringing to your grandmother, which has been proven by experience.
“I don’t think it’s a problem that my son doesn’t have a mother,” the athlete responded to accusations of parental selfishness. – There are a lot of single parents in the world, there are families where mom or dad is no longer alive, but the children still grow up to be decent people. My son has the best dad in the world, a grandmother, a big family. There is no need to feel sorry for him, he is doing great. If later he wants to know the truth about his birth, I will tell him everything as it is.”
Still obsessed with the dream of having a football team, Cristiano, according to some sources, thawed and used the “spare” eggs left in a specialized clinic after the birth of Cristiano Jr. At least twins Eva and Matteo were born in the same town of La Mesa where their older brother was born. Their birth certificates also have a dash instead of their mother’s name, but it seems that on the second try Cristiano found a woman who is ready to replace her.
The athlete met Georgina Rodriguez last year at the Dolce & Gabbana collection show. The girl came to Madrid from the town of Jaca to start a new life after a family tragedy. Six years ago, her mother died in a car accident, and her father became depressed and reclusive. Georgina worked as a saleswoman at a Gucci boutique and dreamed of becoming a model. The dream came true immediately after she was photographed with Cristiano at Disneyland Paris in November 2020. The athlete was incognito - wearing a wig and big glasses, but this did not deceive anyone.
Since Cristiano had never taken him around Disneyland before, Georgina was recognized as special and offered a modeling contract. But the girl decided that her career attracted her less than the prospect of becoming a professional mother of all the children of the most expensive football player in the world.
Lose weight like Ronaldo
Another legendary football player, 39-year-old winner of three Golden Balls, Brazilian Ronaldo , who decided to resume his football career in one of the American clubs, did not avoid a visit to a plastic surgeon.
The great and mighty “Nibbler” was too lazy to log hundreds of kilometers on a treadmill and approached the problem of excess weight quite radically - he simply performed liposuction surgery, removing several kilograms of fat deposits in the abdominal area.
By the way, this is not the first time Ronaldo has done this to his body. He first “miraculously lost weight” in 2008, after one of the English tabloids called him “the fattest footballer in the history of football.” The Brazilian had to repeat liposuction in 2009, when in 25 minutes about 700 milliliters of fat were removed from under the player’s skin instead of the planned 1,600.

Ray Liotta
Ray smoothed out the skin, injected Botox with huge syringes and did everything else, as a result of which his face practically did not move. But there are few wrinkles, needless to say.
On March 1, 2020, world football “star” Diego Maradona appeared before the lenses of hundreds of television cameras in a new guise. Now this was not a 54-year-old man, battered by a wild life and addiction to drugs, but rather a 15-year-old plump teenager. Diego Maradona had a facelift and enlarged lips. Now he is not mistaken for the father of his 24-year-old companion Rocio Oliev.
“Nibbler” Ronaldo before and after liposuction
After Ronaldo “Nibbler” was nicknamed the fattest football player, the Brazilian took himself seriously. Along with a strict diet, which he followed under the close supervision of specialists, Ronaldo decided on liposuction. The results were successful and after 3-4 months the three-time Ballon d'Or winner appeared before football fans in good shape. However, he failed to preserve it for a long time, so in 2009 Ronaldo performed a second liposuction. During the 30 minutes that the operation lasted, about 700 ml of fat was pumped out from the football player.

The “star” forward of the Swedish national team, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, was called “Football Pinnochio” for his long, hooked nose. Apparently, this was the reason that the football player had rhinoplasty.
Gareth Bale before and after ear surgery
Welsh insider Gareth Bale is often compared to Cristiano Ronaldo. He also takes free kicks masterfully, and does his hair like Ronaldo. And Real bought him for the same amount as the Portuguese footballer. However, unlike Gareth, Ronaldo did not undergo plastic surgery. And Bale’s ears clearly looked better after otoplasty.
Ronaldo is not a toother
Brazilian Ronaldo often had to sue the English media because of the offensive nickname “Nibbler”. His now more eminent and popular, but less titled namesake from Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo, did not want such fame, so he began to solve the problem with his teeth at a young age.
Now one of the most recognizable football players in the world has a perfect smile, but at the beginning of his career it was impossible to look at the Portuguese’s teeth without tears. Alexander Ovechkin could envy the holes in the “white fence” . But six months with braces and a few hours in the chair of a plastic dental surgeon worked a real miracle. Even the Russian model Irina Shayk liked their work, and not only in a figurative sense...

How Cristiano Ronaldo's face changed after plastic surgery
Let’s immediately make a reservation that the football player denies plastic surgery and tries to convince fans of the absolute “naturalness” of his appearance. However, this is hard to believe after comparing photos of Cristiano before and after the alleged plastic surgery.
Before plastic surgery: Cristiano Ronaldo at the beginning of his football career
The forward owes his radiant smile to dentists and braces, which he was forced to wear for more than a year. And before the correction of his teeth, the athlete willingly smiled, but if earlier his smile was childishly sincere and conveyed emotions and feelings, now the “million dollar smile” only reflects the status of a celebrity and usually “turns on” when you need to “work on your face.”
Compare photos of Cristiano Ronaldo in his youth and now
Along with a smile “from the heart,” the football player’s “crow’s feet” in the corners of his eyes disappeared. In his youth, Cristiano Ronaldo had active facial expressions, due to which his face was replete with facial wrinkles. Now the picture is different: the star does not allow himself to “make faces” and carefully ensures that his skin is absolutely smooth and healthy. Perhaps willpower helps control his face, but most likely the football player is getting Botox injections. To keep the skin looking fresh, he resorts to biorevitalization with cocktails based on hyaluronic acid.
Photo of Cristiano Ronaldo before and after plastic surgery?
Fans suspect their favorite of making serious changes to his appearance. So, many people think that he had mentoplasty, that is, he inserted an implant into his chin to give his face a more masculine appearance. However, experts compared the before and after photos of Cristiano Ronaldo and found no traces of the operation.
This is what Ronaldo looks like now
Another correction that is attributed to the football player, but is questionable, is rhinoplasty. The wide bridge of the nose has become narrower, the shape of the nose has changed from trapezoidal to triangular, the distance between the inner corners of the man’s eyes has changed, etc. the arguments seem unconvincing, you just have to look at what Cristiano Ronaldo looks like today.
Bale, Alves and Pennant: ears on top
Welsh insider Gareth Bale is often compared to Cristiano Ronaldo. And not in vain - he also takes free throws, and often copies the hairstyle of the famous Portuguese. Yes, and Real bought him for exactly the same amount as Ronaldo once bought.
Naturally, Gareth Bale also had plastic surgery in his life. True, unlike Ronaldo, the Briton’s teeth were completely fine. Ears pumped up. Young Bale looked like Cheburashka was copied from him. However, a couple of simple manipulations with a scalpel and a needle - and the big-eared player turns into a football fashion icon.

Bale's example was followed by at least two more famous football players - the Brazilian star of Barcelona Dani Alves and the Englishman Jermaine Pennant. After breaks in the championships in Spain and England, both ears, which were located perpendicular to the head, suddenly lined up in two parallel straight lines. But if the Brazilian never denied the fact of surgical intervention, then Pennant, who was even caught leaving the clinic with a bandage on his head, still refuses to acknowledge the unnatural nature of his updated appearance - he says that “that’s how it happened.”

Cristiano Ronaldo was suspected of being addicted to plastic surgery
25.10.2016
Cristiano Ronaldo made football, of course, a popular figure in the media. Having become the face of advertised companies that produce boots and T-shirts for him, but also of his own, who sew panties with the CR7 logo for the masses and open prestigious hotels), the player realized that now for him (that is, for his income) a glossy appearance is more important than clogged goals. And he worked hard to take care of all parts of his own body, and first of all, his physiognomy.
Trading in image brings Cristiano many times more income than football. Judging by the information from the American magazine Forbes, the number of these same “times” is equal to three: with a salary of 20 million for football services, the Portuguese star of the Royal Club receives another 60 million outside the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
By the way, Ronaldo hasn’t been creating on the green lawn lately, he’s just doing his routine. This is what the Madrid “inchas” think, extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Real have already played nine matches in Primera, and Cristiano has only two goals to his name.
Now, according to authors from the Portuguese society magazine VIP, football has been firmly relegated to the background. And Botox came to the forefront. And the painful craving to be beautiful and to correspond to the phrase once thrown by Ronaldo and repeatedly replicated by the press, “I am young, handsome and rich. That's why everyone envy me." Everything is fine with wealth, youth is still there, but as for beauty...
“Cristiano has spent tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of euros on cosmetic surgery,” gossip columnists claim. It’s clear that when you regularly face a surgeon’s knife, should you even think about football?
“The Portuguese sex symbol has undergone at least six plastic surgeries,” informs the Spanish publication El Economista, which refers to the same VIP and displays a “was-was” photo of the star for comparison.
“Most of Cristiano’s followers on social networks do not approve of his preoccupation with his own beauty at the expense of his work on the football field,” writes the Spanish publication. – Some people believe that it is not worth focusing on issues of plastic surgery - after all, this is his personal life and there is no need to interfere in it. However, the footballer himself is not shy about his cosmetic preferences, often posting photos on social networks illustrating the changes occurring to his face or body.”

Don't poke your nose at Ibra, Ramos and Curcic
If the previous trio were unhappy with the angle at which their ears were positioned relative to their heads, then the next three players suffered from problems with their noses.
The last of them to undergo surgery to change the nasal shape, according to Italian journalists, was the star forward of the Swedish national team and French PSG Zlatan Ibrahimovic . They even say that the Swede’s decision to slightly shorten his nose was prompted by the constant bullying of his teammates. In Italy he was constantly called the Pinocchio of football. If he were in Russia, it would be impossible to get away from the nickname Buratino. But now the Swede can safely go to our Premier League. It is interesting that both the football player and his agent do not deny the fact of the operation, although they refuse to comment on anything.

The defender of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos . True, his reason was a little more valid than Ibra’s - a fracture, after which something in the nose did not heal properly. Because of this, the football player had to breathe through his mouth for a long time, and his wife endured constant snoring. But after the 2008 European Championship ended, the player decided to go under the surgeon’s knife. And at the same time as solving the problem, Ramos decided to correct his form a little.

But the biggest scandal was related to the operation of the little-known Serbian midfielder Sasha Kurcic , who played for several English clubs and the Yugoslav national team. The player's wife claimed that he had surgery to make his already normal nose an almost perfect copy of her respiratory organ. The team was outraged that the player underwent an unnecessary operation right during the season, which put him out of action for several games. As a result, Kurcic ended his playing career and became the scandalous star of a popular reality show in Serbia, where he constantly got drunk and got into fights.
Cheekbones: lack of prominence
“I remember them telling me: “You’re a good player, but you’re so fat!” – Cristiano recalled the first words of the Sporting academy staff.
Since childhood, the Portuguese has had a rounded face shape and not too pronounced facial bones. Because of this, young Ronaldo's face looked plump. Nature did not endow Cristiano with outstanding cheekbones, so he experimented.
Ronaldo uses fillers - drugs that are injected to correct problem areas: thin lips, low cheekbones and wrinkles. They create the effect of voluminous cheekbones due to hyaluronic acid, the main component of the drug. The effect after injections is short-lived - only about a year. According to Alex Karidis, the cost of such a procedure is 1.5 thousand pounds per year.
Wayne Rooney - Shrek, but with hair
If we consider the next “golden boy” of English football, Wayne Rooney, from the point of view of classical beauty, then the football player has more than enough problems. However, the player always considered his main flaw to be premature baldness.
“Well, what good is this - I started going bald at the age of 25,” the footballer constantly said. As a result, the problem was solved - Rooney simply went to the clinic, where he got thick hair. Of course, the fans didn’t stop calling him Shrek. But now, unlike the famous cartoon character, the player can boast of a voluminous hairstyle - even if you sell your hair for money.

Scary handsome Rene Higuita
Perhaps someone has forgotten one of the most shocking goalkeepers in the history of world football, Colombian Rene Higuita , but his famous “scorpion kick”, with which he hit the ball in his national team’s game with England, cannot be forgotten.
It would be difficult to forget the charismatic appearance of the football player. Charismatic, but not at all sympathetic according to the classical canons. At some point, he was even called the most terrible of Colombian celebrities in his homeland. This “recognition” of the masses prompted the goalkeeper to undergo numerous changes that his face underwent after the operation. Nose surgery, liposuction, wrinkle removal, face lift, silicone implants in the chin and abs - this is an incomplete list of the transformations that the 48-year-old player has undergone.
“If before they called me the scary Higuita, now meet the handsome Higuita,” said the player, appearing in front of the cameras for the first time after the wonderful metamorphosis of his appearance.
