Sometimes the reason for surgery is trauma.

Ronaldo

The Brazilian is considered one of the best soccer players in the world. Despite a dizzying career, training and professional discipline, he failed to keep his athletic form. Closer to the age of 30, he got much better, which caused criticism in his address.

To regain his athletic look, in 2009 Ronaldo decided to undergo plastic surgery to remove fat from his abdomen. But the athlete’s lack of attention to his own rehabilitation after liposuction and failure to follow doctors’ recommendations forced him to repeat the procedure a year later.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Rhinoplasty (surgery to change the shape of the nose) is also very popular among world-famous athletes. Such intervention is often decided not so much to get rid of aesthetic inconveniences, but to solve breathing problems.

Sweden’s world-famous striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most virtuoso players of his generation, had the surgery. Fans and journalists have rewarded the athlete not only with a lot of attention and recognition for his sporting achievements, but also with the sarcastic nickname Pinocchio. The talented Swede did not like the nickname, and in 2013 he decided to have rhinoplasty. The operation did not spoil the appearance of the footballer – the nose became more straight and neat, and the facial features retained the zest.

Sergio Ramos

Defender of the club “PSG” and the Spanish national team Sergio Ramos for a long time suffered from breathing problems due to injury. The nose of the world champion and two-time European champion deformed, because of which the footballer could only breathe with his mouth. This interfered not only with his sports career, but also his personal life – his wife often complained about the loud snoring husband.

Rhinoplasty solved Ramos’ problem, corrected the shape of his nose and returned the ability to breathe fully.

Cristiano Ronaldo

The world-renowned Portuguese soccer player is known for his desire to transform and scrutinize his appearance. In general, many athletes pay special attention to their appearance. Why it is so important, told in our article.

The top scorer of Manchester United is an active user of male cosmetology services. Of the plastic surgeries he is attributed to a lot of surgical interventions. The athlete himself denies this, but if you look at his old photos, the changes in appearance will become obvious.

In the earlier photos, the shape of his nose is noticeably wider, so it is possible that he has made a correction of the back. You can also see in the photos how much the upper part of his face has been transformed. It is likely that Cristiano had a forehead lift, voluminous cheekbones and corrected the oval of the face.

Diego Maradona

A sports idol, legendary Argentine soccer player Diego Maradona attracted millions of fans around the world when he was young. To turn to the services of plastic surgery, he was prompted by age-related changes. The athlete sought to look younger than his years.

An important factor was the 30-year age difference between the soccer star and his lover, model Rocio Oliva. Those around them perceived them as father and daughter rather than a couple. Therefore, in order to match the blossoming image of his beloved, Diego decided to take a bold step. Judging by the photos, the athlete had a facelift and enlarged his lips. In the photos it is noticeable that he disappeared deep wrinkles, and the oval of the face became more delineated.
