Sasha Project: singer Oksana Kabunina Project before and after plastic surgery, personal life, Instagram

Singer Sasha Project quickly burst into show business in the 2000s. The blonde, who looks like a young Britney Spears, quickly gained popularity. And then she disappeared as suddenly as she had appeared.

In order to appear before the audience again, she had to go through the most difficult stages of her life’s journey, rethink a lot, endure nightmarish medical operations and not be afraid to talk about how she became a victim of plastic surgery.

Biography

The future singer, known as Sasha Project, was born in Penza. The girl’s real name, received at birth, is Oksana Kabunina. From childhood, she was active: she participated in school clubs, studied in sections, and studied well. But Oksana's main passion was music. Teachers noticed the singing talent of the young talent very early on and advised parents to develop it. As a result, the girl entered a music school, from which she graduated with honors in piano and vocal classes.

Then Oksana enters a music school and participates in various competitions for young talents. Here, at the Planet Hollywood performing arts competition, producer Kuznetsov notices her and invites her to sign a contract. This is how the musical project “Sasha Project” was born. Songs released in collaboration with Kuznetsov become hits. Clips with a young, spectacular blonde are broadcast on central Russian channels.

Who is Sasha Project

In the 2000s, a real “fall of stars” began on the Russian stage. Next to the luminaries of the Soviet school, young singers constantly appeared, who disappeared after one or two compositions. Most of them did not even have a basic musical education. Entrance to the coveted musical Olympus was paid for with the money of their patrons, fathers and husbands.

Against this colorful background, the young winner of the 2000 Planet Hollywood competition stood out. She was an athlete who graduated from music school as an external student and took acting courses. In 2001, the promising debutante fell into the hands of producer Andrei Kuznetsov. From this day on, singer Sasha Project begins her path to fame.

Biography

The future star was born in Penza on April 26, 1986. The girl dreamed of singing since childhood. The parents sent the 7-year-old talented little girl to a music-oriented school. At the same time, she studied piano at a music school.

However, the future star does not stop there. Oksana enjoys drawing, ballroom dancing, horse riding, karate and judo. She is a soloist of the choir. She is taking acting courses at a theater college.

In 2000, the unknown debutante Oksana Kabunina (this is the singer’s real name) successfully passed the casting for a young pop singer at the Planet Hollywood competition. But only a year later her recordings would catch the eye of Andrei Kuznetsov. After this, the victorious march through the charts of Sasha’s Project began.

The young artist had a crazy schedule. Sasha underwent choreographic training at the “Street Jazz” school and studied vocals. Famous composers Vyacheslav Tyurin (sound producer) and Matvey Anichkin worked with the girl. The aspiring singer threw herself into her work.

“I really need you”, “Mom said”, “White Dress” - these simple hits filled the airspace. Between successful tours, Sasha managed to release two discs, “We Really Need You” (2003) and “Mom Said” (2005). Then, in 2006, she took a short break to give birth to a child and returned to her career.

And then the young pop star decided to improve her appearance. And this was the beginning of her life's collapse. A little later, Sasha Project completely disappears from the air and media space. All that's left are old clips on Youtube.

There were various rumors about what happened to the successful girl. But many years passed before the monstrous truth became known.

In 2014, an exhausted woman with a disfigured face appeared before fans. It was with great difficulty that she was the main character of the photo shoots with Sergei Zverev and Dima Bilan.

Personal life

In the 2000s, the bright, charismatic young singer was compared to Britney Spears. A plump-lipped blonde with distinctive facial features, she bore the title of sex symbol and could also boast of a luxurious fourth-size bust.

In 2004-2005, she was credited with an affair with stylist Sergei Zverev. A joint music video was even released.

However, in 2006, the girl married Israeli citizen Alexei Ginzburg. From him she gave birth to a daughter, Milena. But the marriage with the businessman did not work out. The couple quickly divorced.

The former singer carefully hides the name of her second husband. It is only known that this marriage did not stand the test. From his second marriage, Sasha Project has a son, Lev.

The video shows one of the singer’s hits “Mama Spoke.”

Personal life

Successfully, at first, the personal life of the “Russian Britney Spears” began to take shape. In 2004 she managed to win the heart of the king of Russian glamor, stylist Sergei Zverev. True, their civil marriage broke up already in 2005, but Oksana-Sasha did not remain alone for long. Already in 2006 she married Israeli businessman A. Ginzburg. From her new lover she gave birth to two children - daughter Milena (2006) and son Leo (2014).

Unsuccessful plastic surgery

But the girl’s family idyll did not last long. A tragic incident intervened in the matter, as a result of which she had to fight for her health, and even for her life, for several years. Sasha Ginzburg spoke about this on the program “Let Them Talk” in 2014. The middle-aged woman with a dull look who came to the talk show did not in any way resemble the cheerful beauty that fans of Sasha Project remembered.

The beginning of all the singer’s misfortunes came in 2009. The decision to slightly improve your appearance is to undergo rhinoplasty. When visiting the clinic, the consultant strongly recommended that the girl also adjust her chin and improve the shape of her breasts.

The plastic surgeon assured the patient that all operations would be performed at the highest level.

In fact, everything turned out exactly the opposite. According to Sasha, after rhinoplasty, her nose began to resemble a bird’s beak. The edges of the nostrils were uneven, and pre-existing breathing problems worsened. When correcting the shape of the chin, not a pre-agreed contouring technology was used, but an implant was used. At the same time, it was inserted clumsily and skewed.

In response to the girl’s legitimate complaints, the clinic agreed to carry out repeated operations to correct the deficiencies. For this purpose, the surgeon inserted an implant into Sasha’s nose, and the crooked prosthesis was removed from his chin. As a result, the insert in the bridge of the nose did not take root, and noticeable scars appeared on the chin. A similar situation was observed with mammoplasty. The girl had part of her breast removed and replaced with silicone implants. But they were poorly secured and eventually moved. Sasha's breasts acquired an unnatural angular shape.

The singer, following a sad experience of cooperation with this clinic, refused its services. Specialists from other medical institutions had great difficulty and were only partially able to correct the results of unsuccessful plastic surgery. But the negative external consequences were only the beginning of all problems. Unsuccessful surgical intervention resulted in sepsis and necrosis.

To save her life, the singer had to undergo a long course of treatment, which included new reconstructive operations. But still, this did not pass without a trace: the still young woman began to experience memory loss, her vision and hearing deteriorated. As a result, A. Ginzburg’s husband filed for divorce immediately after the birth of his second child, leaving Sasha alone with his illnesses and two small children in his arms.

Singer Sasha Project was disfigured beyond recognition by 9 plastic surgeries

At the beginning of the 2000s, Sasha Project conquered the top of the charts with the hits “I Really Need You” and “White Dress.” And then she abruptly disappeared from the eyes of numerous fans. The singer's songs sounded from every iron. Fans of the Russian pop princess across the country dreamed of being like their idol. The pretty blonde was one of the most promising artists in Russian show business. However, a promising career, sold-out concerts, the status of a sex symbol and the covers of glossy magazines were lost overnight.

She hasn't been seen for four years. The singer disappeared from all screens and radars of the country. In an exclusive interview with SUPER, Sasha Ginzburg explained her many years of silence and spoke about the difficult trials that befell her. All this time, the star is trying to correct the mistakes of the plastic surgeon who mutilated the girl’s face and life.

Let us remind you that the other day the world was shocked by the story of another victim of plastic surgery: Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger changed her face beyond recognition. The star's new appearance shocked many of the celebrity's fans, and the doctors involved in the operations were subjected to public censure.

Sasha, you haven’t been seen on stage for four years now, you don’t give concerts. What happened?

Sasha: At first I chased my health. Then they cheated me out of confidence: they said that my chin is weak, it needs to be corrected here, it needs to be corrected there, they say, everything is so not perfect with you. Although I was always happy with my appearance and went to the doctor just to correct my nasal breathing.

Mom: She needed an ENT operation, and since she is a public and media person, she wanted everything to be good, without problems, so they also brought in a cosmetologist to the ENT doctor.

Sasha: I had very sagging breasts - large breasts quickly lose their shape after childbirth, and the doctor actively played on this. He said: “We will fix everything for you, tighten it up for you, make it beautiful, and your nose will breathe. The seam will not be visible at all. You still have a weak chin, you need to get an implant, otherwise it’s very sunken. It's not beautiful. You'll be like Angelina Jolie." I gave in to my emotions. The man turned out to be a strong psychologist. He knows how to push. You realize that you are leaving without answers. Plus with some imposed things that you didn’t think about at all.

What is this doctor's name?

Mother: Voroshkevich Andrey Albertovich. Bios Clinic. I myself was his patient, that’s why we came there. He did everything well for me.

Why did you decide to have chin surgery and breast augmentation?

Sasha: I was 22 years old when my daughter turned two. The breasts hung down to the navel. Before giving birth, I was size three or four, and when I was breastfeeding, I was size five or six. When I finished feeding, she went down to third again. For a young girl who is also divorced, with a child, and in search, with such breasts, to put it mildly, is not very comfortable.

What happened to the chin? After all, everything was fine with him.

Sasha:

I do not know. I was convinced.

Mother:

More than one doctor said this. Before we came to Voroshkevich, we visited many famous doctors. They said that everything about my face was perfect, the only thing was that I needed a small implant in my chin. When not one person, but five people tell you this, you begin to think about it and look at yourself in the mirror differently. All Hollywood stars supposedly do this, and so do ours.

Sasha:

Then, as it turned out, the stitch that is made inside the mouth is the most infectious. After the operation, the implant was not level. I went for consultations. I just wanted to understand, maybe I’m finding fault, maybe I’m slandering a person?! But other doctors bombarded them with questions: “Why did they make an incision inside your mouth, why wasn’t it secured, why not an external suture, and why did they put it in you at all?” When I told the doctors what and how, they looked at me with widened eyes. I came to Voroshkevich again and said what the doctors told me.

Why did you go to him again?

Mother:

The man had such a moral impact, he was very persuasive.

You worked in show business and you fell for it?

Sasha: I initially went to him with a complaint, but it turned out that I agreed on the next operation.

Tell us about your first operation? What did you see when you woke up? How it was?

Sasha:

After the first operation, I understood that I would not look beautiful. When I woke up, I saw bruises, red eyes, and a cast. This happens to everyone when the wall of the nose is affected. True, I don’t understand why the wall of my nose was affected? At first I was euphoric. When they took the tampons out of my nose, I was breathing perfectly, everything was great. But after a while, breathing began to become difficult, and when I asked Voroshkevich why, he said: “Everything is fine, now the swelling will go away and you will breathe well.” I constantly came for procedures to the ENT specialist, who did nasal breathing for me. I had all sorts of washings done, in general, everything was as it should be. When the swelling subsided, I began to ask again why there was no constant breathing?! He said, wait another six months. I began to wake up at night because I was suffocating.

Mother:

The nose has collapsed and looks terrible even after the fourth operation. Different nostrils, visible seam.

Sasha: After the first operation, there was generally an overhanging beak that did not connect either in breadth or length. I had a completely straight nose, but after the operation, for some reason, it became snub-nosed. It felt like I was just given a frying pan.

What happened to the chin?

Sasha:

At first everything was beautiful and wonderful, until the swelling began to go away. Then it became noticeable that my chin was crooked. He slid to the side. It is not clear why he did not record it.

Mother:

The doctor explained that some nodule had not resolved and it had moved out. In order not to bother, he simply cut it out and threw it away.

Sasha:

As a result, when the swelling went down, I went to him with complaints. Crooked chin, sunken nose, different nostrils. He again said that we need to wait, let’s pull him in. Do massages, push it in the other direction - and it will fall back into place, and in general, noses only rise after a year and a half.

Mother:

Ultimately, nothing went away. And they offered to redo it at their own expense.

Was this the second operation?

Sasha: Yes. This was the second operation. I’ll explain why they suggested it. My mother is a fairly serious person, and even after the first operation it was mentioned that the case would go to court, and only after that they said: “Oh, let’s redo everything.”

And you decided to put yourself in the hands of this surgeon again?

Mother:

I said: “We will still attract another specialist.” To which Voroshkevich said that no, it’s not necessary, and that Sasha is like a daughter to him, I love her so much and will do everything in the best possible way. I will return everything back, you will be satisfied. She will be a beauty, just like she was!

After operations, when you saw yourself in the mirror in a different form, how did you experience it? Did you cry?

Sasha:

I can say that I am still crying because I can only take pictures of myself, and only from one angle. I understand that even if I go out for some interviews, they won’t recognize me. Even people in the fan club, which I still have, remember that Sasha, but they don’t recognize the Sasha that we have now. My career is at an end, and I don’t know how to do anything else. I don’t know how I will continue to live, and I have two children and no job. It turns out that because of some doctor I should remain a nobody in my old age? Housekeeper? Housewife? But I didn’t dream about it and never wanted it.

Mom: When Doctor Voroshkevich told me: “Well, it happens...”, I answered him: “There’s a bottle of acid on your table, and I accidentally touched it. She fell and wet your hands, and you can no longer operate. And I will also answer you: “Well, it happens.”

How many plastic surgeries have you undergone in these four years?

Sasha:

About six...

Mother:

No, nine.

Sasha:

I've already lost count. There were the first two or three operations when I was still consciously going for it. Then there were emergency ones. There was a threat to life.

Have you had inflammation?

Sasha: Yes. Dr. Voroshkevich decided to put an implant on the back of my nose, but he did not agree with me on this. He decided to simply hide his wrong actions in an easy way. I asked him: “Give me back my straight nose!” I had a beautiful nose, give it back to me.” And he decided to get it back through an implant. But he didn’t coordinate this with me and didn’t even warn me. I wake up, and he says to me: “You see, because of you, I even went to work sick, I performed surgery on you with the flu.” And this is already a big violation! And then he told me: “I put a small implant here for you,” I said, “What other implant?” - “Well, you wanted an even nose, so you will have an even nose!” When I asked about the chin, he told me: “We threw away your chin.”

Mother:

We began to be indignant at why we paid for this implant, and you took it and threw it away. But that's not the point. The seam simply did not heal, and the implant itself was visible. When you turn your lip away, you have holes in your mouth, and through them you can see this transparent implant! You see, it was just a horror movie. He tells her: “Well, if you rinse it, it will take longer.”

Sasha:

I went to their hospital for two months because of this implant. And all this time they sucked the pus out from under me and punctured the lump. For two months they persuaded me to rinse my mouth with some kind of iodine garbage so that these holes would supposedly heal. And there are holes there, each two centimeters long, how can they close on their own?

Mother:

When our nerves once again gave way and we went to make trouble, we attracted Professor Brusova, she is a luminary in the field of implantology. When she saw this, she was shocked and said that she needed to operate very urgently. Moreover, several doctors were present at the operation, but they explained to us that the same doctor who placed it should remove the implant, because he knows how it was done. In order not to cause further harm, Dr. Voroshkevich removed this implant. Afterwards we decided to forget about this clinic, because those were very difficult days. Almost a year spent in a cast.

Did you do his breasts too?

Sasha:

Breasts are a different story. The chest was both square and triangular, and twisted, then he put an implant under my muscle - supposedly there was no other way. Then they wanted to tighten the breasts and, since they were too large, they installed the smallest implant. For some reason he placed it in the mammary gland. Why is still unclear. Plus another piece of the mammary gland was cut out.

Mother:

As a result, she is now unable to breastfeed her second child.

How were you not afraid to go to him?
Mother:

At that moment there was no longer a choice. There is no work, no money to do this somewhere in another clinic. So, with the money we spent on operations, at that time it was possible to buy a one-room apartment.

Sasha:

In short, to put it mildly, there was simply no money for a normal doctor anymore. I also had a small child in my arms, and I was divorced. My husband and I were on bad terms at the time, and he didn’t really help me.

Who saved you? Who performed your final surgery?

Sasha:

We only recently eliminated the main problem at Dr. Piskunov, whom we initially wanted to see. Thanks to him, I can at least breathe, and even if my nose is crooked, I’ve come to terms with it. I have a lot of complexes, my nerves have become bad, I can’t communicate normally with people, I rarely leave the house...

Are there any doctors who can correct the current situation and eliminate aesthetic problems?

Sasha:

I’m ready to stay with these shortcomings because I have two children. The main thing is that they at least have a mother, and it doesn’t matter that she’s crooked and slanted, it doesn’t matter. If I go under the knife again, I'm sure I won't survive the operation. After these anesthesia, I began to have memory problems, I forgot the Russian language, I have difficulty remembering words, and I developed pathological illiteracy. I have problems sleeping. I couldn’t sleep at all for a year...

Who was with you all this time? People from show business with whom you were friends, did they support you in any way?

Sasha:

At first they supported and remembered, but now they don’t. I'm actually glad that many jumped higher than me, although the situation was completely different. The same Irakli, we have known each other for a long time, or Dima Bilan, we were very good friends. Now I'm happy for them.

Mom : We just recently went to Artem Sorokin’s birthday party, where all our friends and acquaintances were there. For example, the singer Slava and Mitya Fomin, with whom they constantly saw each other, did not recognize her.

Sasha: We see each other every year, and every year no one recognizes me.

Did your voice remain the same?

Mother:

I stayed, but it's a matter of psychology.

Sasha:

Not even in psychology, it just all comes down to finances. A lot of time has been lost to return to show business, you need to shoot a video, record a new song, at least one, then you need to work on the album. My last career cost my mother $2 million.

But do you want to sing?

Sasha:

Now I have come to the conclusion that I can’t do anything else and this is the only thing that gives me pleasure. I still can't live without it. It happens that they call and offer some concerts, tours. They happen, very rarely, but they do happen. When I get there, they start telling me: “You’re not Sasha, aren’t you ashamed?” I say that I am Sasha and begin to tell this whole complicated story. I explain what happened, but they deny everything. I point to the face, eyes and lips, you can still find out... Indeed, a slightly different nose, changed hair color, but who doesn’t change their hair color after such a long time?

What do you want to prove in court? What are you suing for?

Mother:

Why are we suing? A man is not a piece of meat! You can't do this to him.

Do you want compensation?

Mom: Of course. We just want to forget about it. There was an ugly attitude on the part of the management of this clinic. I wrote a complaint, to which the answer came that it was our own fault, that it was unknown where we went and what we did.

Are you no longer allowed to undergo additional operations?

Sasha:

Piskunov forbade me to do anything at all!

Mother:

When Sasha was sent for a consultation with an ENT specialist, it turned out that there was some kind of foreign body there that urgently needed to be removed. Then I began to openly threaten them with court. They took Sasha by the hand and led him to Professor Piskunov. When he saw all this, he prescribed emergency surgery for her. This operation was paid for by the Bios clinic, which is now refusing everything. They say that they are white and fluffy and that they have done nothing wrong. Sasha, you see, it’s her own fault that she walked and they helped her. They say that Sasha is so ungrateful.

Sasha:

Yes, I was brain-touched... I went and begged for operations from them. And they are so noble that they did the operations for free.

Mother:

An operation was performed, he removed a piece of the implant measuring 0.8 mm, which simply came off. Now we have a trial going on, in which there is an obvious conspiracy of doctors. The most offensive thing was that it was written that the girl supposedly came for correction of her appearance, and we came just to breathe. If people remain silent about this, then such situations will continue.

Sasha: If I had come for my appearance, then every time my nose was done, I wouldn’t have had an ENT operation. All the times I had operations, I had an ENT with aesthetics, except for the last one in which there was only an ENT, and now I am breathing.

Could you appeal to TV viewers who want to improve their appearance?

Sasha:

Don't be fooled by all the pictures that are out there. Be yourself unless it is a medical necessity. There are people who are born with serious defects, and for them what is considered a deformity among normal people will be normal for them and bring joy. Don't trust doctors, you need to look at recommendations. Never run for the cheapest or most expensive price; choose a doctor based on his work and recommendations.

Sasha today

The rehabilitation process after the intervention of butcher surgeons is not completed to this day. So, in 2021 Sasha underwent another operation to restore the original shape of her breasts. The singer filed a lawsuit against the clinic, which was the cause of all her misfortunes, which was satisfied after 4 years of litigation. According to the judge’s verdict, the clinic paid her 2 million 200 thousand rubles for harm caused by the surgeon’s unqualified actions.

Despite the many years of struggle for life and health, which took away a lot of physical and moral strength, the singer returned to the big stage.

In 2021 She officially got married for the second time. In 2018-19, Sasha delighted fans with new singles and gave a number of concerts in various cities of the country. Now she is recording new songs and videos.
