There will be a new look at the Capitol in January, when the Trump Administration officially takes office.
Many in Donald Trump’s inner circle appear to have gone under the knife of plastic surgeons, creating what is now known as the ‘Mar-a-Lago’ face.
Defined by heavy use of Botox, a Miami tan, puffy lips and silky-smooth skin, plastic surgeons told DailyMail.com it was giving Trumpland an almost “plastic” and “Real Housewives” look. “.
Some have suggested that the change in the appearance of Trump’s closest aides could be due to a desire to please the president-elect, who has been accused of having a preference for attractive subordinates.
Dr. Anthony Youn, a Michigan plastic surgeon, said, “It’s something you’d see on Real Housewives stars, a combination of Botox and filler… that are mildly to moderately overdone.”
‘They don’t necessarily look distorted, but they don’t look like they did before either. “It’s definitely a plastic look, maybe a Kardashian look.”
He said MAGA stars like Lara Trump, who is married to Trump’s third son, Eric, have undergone the biggest facial transformations.
Others included Matt Gaetz, who was nominated to be Attorney General for nine days before retiring in disgrace, and Kimberly Guilfoyle, who has been engaged to Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., since 2020.
It is also speculated that Lara Trump received fillers in her cheeks and lips and a nose job or rhinoplasty.
Kristi Noem, 52, a Republican congresswoman from South Dakota who has been nominated to be secretary of Homeland Security, reportedly had her teeth straightened in March ahead of her fight for a top post in Trump’s Cabinet.
“It’s about his appeal to a one-person audience,” Republican strategist Ron Bonjean told the New York Times At the moment.
“The whole teeth thing almost seems like it was done for Trump to see. She’s showing him that she works well in front of the camera, that she has that star power that he wants on stage with him, while fitting into the style of women in the Trump universe.’
But Dr. Youn suggests, however, that the change in the appearance of the MAGA set is part of a broader trend.
“The calling card of being rich used to be expensive handbags to show off,” he said, “but now it’s almost become an expensive face; we’re seeing it in younger people, too.”
According the atlantic Trump is not a fan of plastic surgery and often finds the procedures atrocious.
They reported: “Trump, who is generally dismayed by plastic surgery, was disgusted to learn of the apparent extent of Loomer’s facial alterations.”

Kimberly Guilfoyle faced speculation that she had undergone plastic surgery more recently after appearing at the Republican National Convention.
The effect appears to extend to men in Trumpland, too: Matt Gaetz, 42, a former candidate for attorney general, suggested he had Botox placed on his forehead.
She appeared with arched eyebrows and a wrinkle-free complexion at the Republican National Convention in July, which plastic surgeons were quick to say was because she had too much Botox.
“Matt is clearly one of those people who gets too much Botox,” said Dr. Corey Maas, a San Francisco plastic surgeon. “If you can’t raise your eyebrows even a little, it looks strange and expressionless.”
“In some ways it’s worse for this to happen in men, because you can get to a point where your eyebrows fall below the edge of your eyes, which can make you look downright evil.”
Plastic surgeons said Lara Trump, 42, had likely had Botox on her forehead and fillers on her lips and cheeks, which have become fuller over time.
They also noticed that her skin was much smoother, suggesting the use of lasers, they said, and that it had now taken on a more tanned tone.
And about Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, Dr. Joel Kopelman —a New York City plastic surgeon—said she had probably received too much Botox, causing asymmetry in her face.

“Overuse or misplacement of Botox can weaken the wrong muscles, causing ptosis (drooping) of the eyebrow and possibly some asymmetry around the mouth,” he said.
“Also, while fillers can create volume and lift, overuse can lead to an overly full or puffy appearance.”
He added: “Her cheeks and lips appear to have been significantly augmented, possibly crossing the line of ‘too much’, which may make the results less natural.”
Trump’s daughter Ivanka is also rumored to have had plastic surgery.
