The debut of Matt Gaetz’s new show has caught people’s attention, but not for its political analysis or controversial takes.
Instead, viewers lined up on social media to comment on her new facial transformation, with some saying she looked like ‘Cruella Devil’, who also has arched eyebrows.
Three plastic surgeons who spoke to DailyMail.com said they thought Gaetz, 42, showed signs of heavy Botox use, as well as filler to accentuate his features.
Dr. Christopher Costa, a Las Vegas plastic surgeon, said, “What it looks like to me is that it’s almost been overtreated with neurotoxins, things like Botox.”
‘With your standard neurotoxin treatment, your goal is to soften the lines but still have facial expression and be able to move your face.
“But in his case, it almost seems like he’s been given a double dose, like those patients who come in and say, ‘I want you to freeze my face.'”
Dr. Costa suggested that Gaetz had received the injections in his forehead, the area around his eyes and even his upper lip, which is called a “lip flip” and was done to make the lip appear fuller.
Surgeons also speculated that Gaetz had likely undergone skin treatments such as lasers and peels to achieve his smooth, wrinkle-free appearance.

Dr. Michael Persky, a California plastic surgeon, said: “Matt Gaetz’s aesthetic providers have violated my four-word beauty philosophy: ‘no one should know!’
‘Rep. Gaetz has received too much Botox on his forehead, resulting in almost no movement, a flat, unnatural forehead, and the dreaded… arched eyebrows.
‘This is commonly known as “El Diablo’s forehead”, “Cruella Deville’s forehead” and “Jack Nicholson’s forehead”.
Dr. Paul Rosenburg, a New Jersey plastic surgeon, added: “She’s had Botox… and honestly, she hasn’t had it injected in the most professional way, because it manifests what we call the ‘Spock look.’
“So when he raises his eyebrows to look animated… everything freezes except the center of his eyebrow, causing his eyebrows to rise artificially.”
Spock is a fictional character from Star Trek, famous for having raised eyebrows.
However, the surgeons highly praised her skin and said she was probably receiving treatments to keep it clear.
Dr Costa, who runs Platinum Plastic Surgery, added that he was probably receiving regular skin treatments.
A surgeon also suggested that he could be leading a much healthier lifestyle, helping to keep his skin in optimal condition.
Gaetz has not previously responded to allegations that he may have received Botox or other cosmetic treatments. DailyMail.com has contacted its representatives for comment.
Gaetz is pictured above at the Republican National Convention in July of last year. Surgeons at the time speculated that she may have received Botox or a PDO thread lift.
Gaetz appeared on television screens yesterday for the first installment of his new show, which aired on the conservative One America News Network (OANN).
It was his first appearance in the public domain after he retired as attorney general and resigned from Congress in late November amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
Gaetz is one of several Republicans in Trump’s circle who plastic surgeons say has likely undergone some work.
But Democrats are not immune to plastic surgery rumors either, with speculation rife that Joe Biden has undergone a facelift.
Commenting on her appearance, one viewer said: ‘Matt Gaetz shows off the new Botox on his show on OANN. Rough.’
A second said: “Matt Gaetz is on TV now with some new Botox, apparently,” and a third said: “Matt Gaetz looks EXTRA embarrassing in this new look.”
Gaetz also sparked speculation about his appearance at the Republican National Convention in July of last year.
Many surgeons suggested at the time that her arched eyebrows were probably the result of ‘overdone Botox’ causing the muscles to rise unusually.
Dr. Costa suggested that it may be the result of a PDO thread lift or polydioxanone thread lift.
The procedure uses absorbable threads to tighten and lift the skin in areas of the face, including around the eyebrows, to create a more youthful appearance.
It requires no downtime, unlike a standard face or brow lift, and is popular with those who need to appear on camera every week, like Gaetz.
