Expert shares insight into Melania Trump’s beauty routine

There’s been much speculation and rumor about her possibly benefiting from plastic surgery, Botox, or lip fillers. If certain ‘experts’ are to be believed, there is no doubt she has made some subtle changes to her appearance. This, however, is just speculation; no one can say for sure whether she has received cosmetic enhancements.

“Her face has a stony look from being overfilled and over-botoxed,” Dr. Franklin Rose told The Skincare Edit.

“Melania’s forehead is as smooth as a baby’s rear end, so she’s had liberal amounts of Botox for sure. Her cheeks, along with the nasolabial lines between the nose and corners of the mouth, likely have fillers. [Her rhinoplasty] is a beautiful job. Whoever is treating her now is just a little overzealous with the injectables.”

Melania Trump ‘has undergone plastic surgery,’ experts claim

Dr. Dev Patel, medical director of Perfect Skin Solutions in Portsmouth, agreed with Rose, saying there have been “obvious signs” of her “likely” having done botox treatments.

“She was giving a rather personal account of her background, yet her upper face was not moving in harmony with her words. In fact, it was not moving at all. This suggests too heavy doses are being used by her doctor,” he said.

A third expert, Dr. Jag Chana, says that when comparing pictures of Melania when she was younger and later in life, her nasal shape has changed.

“The nose is narrower and the tip is more refined. The very minor irregularities along the bridge line are suggestive of an osteotomy which is part of the procedure during a rhinoplasty, which narrows the nose. Compared to her younger photograph, the top lip appears fuller. This likely is a result of lip fillers. The forehead is completely smooth and wrinkle free—so likely Botox.”

“I would say Melania has had forehead contouring with filler to make it more rounded, with Botox to lift the brows,” a fourth expert, Dr. Munir Somji, adds. “She also appears to have had buccal fat removal to slim the face, alongside fillers around the jawline with radio frequency tightening to give a chiselled look.”

Dr. Dev Patel also spoke to the Express about Melania’s possible cosmetic surgeries. He estimated that they’ve probably cost around $13,000.

“I think few people could deny that she is strikingly beautiful in her still shots, but considering the masses now indulge in facial aesthetic treatments, I would be extremely surprised if an ex-model (who has such a spotlight on her) would not be doing the same,” he said.

According to Melania herself, she has never made any changes to her appearance. Speaking with GQ in 2016, she also denied having undergone a breast augmentation.

“I didn’t make any changes,” Melania said. “A lot of people say 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. I’m against Botox, I’m against injections; I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.”

Melania has previously spoken about her healthy food choices and her non-drinking lifestyle. But another way she tries to stay young is through her makeup. Besides her designer wardrobe and beautiful appearance, the First Lady makes conscious decisions about makeup, which help with the illusion that she isn’t aging. In 2017, Melania’s makeup artist, Nicole Bryl, did a Q&A with Women’s Wear Daily, sharing some of the secrets she used when styling Melania.
