It has been widely speculated that Melania Trump gets her modest look taken away due to several surgeries and adjustments.
The former First Lady, 54, and wife of former president of the united states Donald Trump, 78, is famous for his high cheekbones, age-defying full lips and smooth skin.
But the former Slovenian model, who published a memoir called ‘Melania’ on October 8 where she addressed her support for abortion rights, has denied ever having plastic surgery.
However, Dr Gary Linkov, the US’s leading plastic surgeon based in New York, estimates that Melania has spent a whopping $203,000 (£155,335) on plastic surgery, including a $50,000 facelift. (£38,260).
in a YouTube In a video that has racked up 350,000 views, Dr. Linkov suggests she may have undergone extensive cosmetic work including a nose job, fillers, Botox, cheek implants and even a facelift.
Dr. Gary Linkov, the top US plastic surgeon based in New York, estimates that Melania has spent a whopping $203,000 on plastic surgery, including a $50,000 facelift.
Exploring her transformation over the decades, Dr. Linkov begins by showing an image of Melania from 1987, when she was just 17 years old.
His bushy eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, nose with natural ‘bulboness’ with a roundness at the tip of the nose and balanced lower and upper lips stand out. His strong cheekbones are also noted as a natural feature of his face.
But when Dr. Linkov compares images of her at age 28, he notes that “the tip of her nose appears less bulbous” and adds that “the dorsal bulge” on the bridge of her nose is less prominent, suggesting that she may have having had a nose job. for 1998.
Then, a picture of her at age 29 appears to show that she has fuller lips. Dr. Linkov suggests that because the filler was not approved by the FDA until 2003, it may have used collagen or silicone in microbeads.
Fast forward to 2004, when Melania is 34 years old and her cheeks look fuller.
“I wonder if maybe she’s had cheek implants because there’s a lot of regularity in both cheeks and there’s more projection than I think it would have been to get to this state with filler alone.”
Dr. Linkov notes that Melania’s eyes appear smaller at age 37, which he explained could be due to a brow lift that may have created a cat-eye appearance.
An image of her at age 29, pictured on the left in 1999, appears to show that she has fuller lips. Dr. Linkov suggests that because the filler was not approved by the FDA until 2003, it may have used collagen or silicone in microbeads. Later, at age 52 (pictured right in 2021), the skin on his neck and jaw looks smoother, something that could have been fixed with a facelift, says Dr. Linkov.
He adds that he may have also started getting Botox on his forehead and on the crow’s feet on the sides of his eyes around this time.
Examining an image of her at age 38, where her eyes appear even smaller, Dr. Linkov suggests that the Botox on her forehead may have caused her eyebrows to weigh more on her eyes.
He said: ‘The frontalis muscle is the only muscle that really raises our eyebrows. So when you inject a large amount of neurotoxin into that muscle, what happens is it becomes even more paralyzed. When that happens, the eyebrows start to get heavier and, as that happens, the eyes can start to look smaller.’
Another change in Melania’s face is observed in 2012, at the age of 42, when some early signs of a “double chin” become visible. This is a lump that develops on the jawline as the cheek begins to see the effects of gravity and droop.
Melania appears to have more forehead wrinkles and larger eyes two years later, in 2014, which could be the result of less Botox, Dr. Linkov suggests.
Photographs of her at age 49 show more general signs of aging, such as the loss of skin laxity on her neck and the corners of her mouth turning down.
But later, at age 52, the skin on the neck and jaw looks smoother, something that a facelift could have fixed, Dr. Linkov says.
However, because many images of Melania show her with her hair covering her ears and the sides of her face, it is difficult to look for signs of scarring or changes in her ears to confirm whether she has had a facelift.
But other procedures, such as radiofrequency to tighten the skin, may also have rectified any skin sagging, Dr. Linkov admits.
Melania Trump, pictured on the left in an undated image and on the right in 2020, denied having had any plastic surgery, telling GQ in 2016 that she was “against Botox” and “against filler.”
Melania has consistently denied having undergone any plastic surgery, and told GQ in 2016 that he was “against Botox” and “against filler.”
She said: ‘I didn’t make any changes. Many people say that I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn’t do anything.
‘I live a healthy life, I take care of my skin and my body. It’s all me. “I will grow old gracefully, like my mother does.”
Plastic surgeon to the stars Dr. Gary Motykie He also previously told Daily Mail.com that he doesn’t see “many reasons to suspect a facelift.”
Instead, he suggested that she had undergone nose surgery and fillers and had spent between $45,000 and $50,000 on her appearance.
‘(But) I have noticed a change in his nose. Noses don’t normally get smaller as they get older, they get bigger, but hers is definitely smaller and more defined, so I’m very suspicious of at least a rhinoplasty (nose job),’ he said. .
“I think she’s probably doing the maintenance work as well: fillers, particularly in the middle of the face, cheeks, maybe a touch of the lips and the standard Botox maintenance,” he added.
