Timur Khaidarov, a widely known plastic surgeon in Russia, shared on Instagram that he had consulted with television host Victoria Bonya. The post drew attention not for a private moment but because it touched on the growing conversation about medical advice in the realm of celebrity culture. Bonya, a well-recognized public figure, has been the subject of discussion whenever a physician speaks about her appearance or possible procedures. The update reflected the ongoing curiosity about which public personalities might seek cosmetic work and how such encounters are presented to the public. Media observers noted that the post raised questions about the boundaries between medical expertise and entertainment in contemporary Russia.
Earlier, the surgeon posted a photo with Bonya from the filming of the series Bad Tongues. The image suggested the possibility of performing a procedure on the TV presenter, stoking speculation about the nature of the potential treatment and the timeline involved. Fans and entertainment outlets debated what kind of procedure could be involved and how Bonya might discuss it publicly. The moment highlighted how social media posts from doctors paired with celebrity branding can amplify public interest in cosmetic medicine.
In his remarks, Khaidarov said, We consulted. We’ll start soon, a phrasing that sent ripples through online discussions about when and how cosmetic work for a living figure might begin. Observers noted the ambiguity of the wording, which kept details scarce while leaving room for anticipation.
Khaidarov is widely regarded as one of Russia’s leading plastic surgeons. In the public sphere, several celebrities have been linked to his practice, with reports of high-profile procedures undertaken for figures in entertainment. Yet not every famous client was satisfied, and occasional public critiques or discomfort with results surfaced in media conversations. The mix of praise and complaints has kept him in the center of discussions about celebrity medicine and accountability.
In July 2023, singer Slava publicly accused Khaidarov of delivering a disappointing breast procedure, noting asymmetry and visible scarring. The singer Lyubov Uspenskaya supported the criticism, saying she was not pleased with the outcome of the surgery she had seen or experienced.
According to the surgeon, the performer did not adhere to aftercare instructions for scars. A collective letter signed by more than fifty women emerged, sounding alarm about post-surgical care and outcomes. By October 2023, Slava and Khaidarov reportedly settled the dispute in a manner that left the singer satisfied.
Earlier the singer Lolita publicly labeled the surgeon a butcher and urged action to curb his practice, signaling how public figures influence discourse.
