On Tuesday, December 28, 2022, Grichka Bogdanoff died at the age of 72 from Covid-19. A few days later, Monday January 3, his twin brother Igor Bogdanoff also succumbed to the illness. A double disappearance which aroused a lot of emotion among many French people attached to these atypical personalities, specialized in popularizing science.
Since the 1980s, these two science buffs had been in the hearts of many French people and the mystery surrounding the transformation of their faces had continued to fuel the legend. For several years, they notably let rumors spread that they had acromegaly, a disease that causes limbs to grow. But this is not the case.
“They haven’t had cosmetic surgery.”
Guest on the show At Jordan’s, surgeon Jacques Ohana analyzed the physical transformation of the Bogdanoff brothers. According to him, they did not do cosmetic surgery but used injections. “I had the pleasure of meeting them a few times. I always found them amusing, full of humor, intelligent, complementary, with a sense of self-deprecation… I am not their surgeon in the sense that I didn’t operate on them. They didn’t have any cosmetic surgery. They mostly had injections!“, he explained at first.
And to continue how these injections gradually distorted their faces: “These are injections of products that were performed around twenty or thirty years ago, based on silicone. Obviously strictly prohibited for many years because this product, which is durable and definitive, has the disadvantage of evolving through inflammatory flare-ups and the inflammatory flare-ups are deforming… This is what explains this excessive evolution at the level of the cheekbones and the chin”. A mystery finally solved after years.
