Make America Tweak Again: This Trump Family Member Is Inspiring A Cosmetic Surgery Craze
Last Updated: Dr. Norman Rowe said he has seen a noticeable uptick in patients asking for facial features similar to Ivanka Trump. A growing number of plastic surgery patients in the United States are requesting cosmetic procedures inspired by Ivanka Trump's appearance, according to prominent surgeons in New York and Florida. Dr. Norman Rowe, a board-certified plastic surgeon operating in Manhattan, the Hamptons, and Palm Beach, said he has seen a noticeable uptick in patients asking for facial features similar to Ivanka Trump. 'We're seeing as many as 15 clients a day in Palm Beach wanting the 'Ivanka look,'" he told the New York Post, referring to high cheekbones, full lips, wide eyes, and smooth, wrinkle-free foreheads- a combination some now refer to as the 'Mar-a-Lago Face." The demand isn't limited to younger patients as Norman noted that older clients often reference Kristi Noem, the South Dakota Governor and US Secretary of Homeland Security, as their aesthetic benchmark, praising her polished public appearance. While certain features can be replicated, Norman Rowe cautioned that results depend on a patient's existing facial structure. advetisement 'If someone says, 'I want her lips or nose,' we can work with that," he said, adding, 'But there are physical limitations. You can't completely transform someone's face if the base isn't there." Dr. Mark Epstein, a dual board-certified surgeon in New York City, reported a similar post-pandemic trend, particularly after the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. 'There was a noticeable increase in business and confidence," Mark Epstein said, linking the aesthetic trend to the growing visibility of Donald Trump-aligned public figures. Surgeons say the phenomenon reflects a cultural shift in aspirational beauty within certain political and social circles. Norman Rowe said, 'You go to Palm Beach or the Everglades Club, and you see it — a group of people who want to look polished, youthful, and visibly aligned with a certain lifestyle."

‘Mar-a-Lago face' now the most in-demand plastic surgery — doctor reveals who everyone is requesting to look like
Politicians are leading more than the government — they're also inspiring cosmetic procedures. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Norman Rowe, who practices in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Palm Beach, opened his office in Florida after the pandemic — but it was about six months ago that he really 'saw the big difference,' he told the Daily Mail. 7 Dr. Norman Rowe said he began to notice a 'big difference' in his offices at the start of the year. Drobot Dean – Advertisement 'That's when it just exploded.' Dr. Mark Epstein, a dual-board-certified surgeon in New York City, said he first experienced a sudden surge in business in late summer last year — a time that would typically be his 'slow season' — when support for Trump swelled after the failed attempt on his life. 'I noticed things were really starting to pick up … And what I was getting a sense is, is that there was a sudden change in consumer confidence, I have no other way to explain it,' Epstein, who owns Oceane Medical Aesthetics and Wellness in Hauppauge, previously told The Post. Advertisement Although consumer confidence has been shaken with talks of a possible looming recession, cosmetic procedure trends haven't taken a hit. The procedures have been on the rise for years — but experts note a specific shift from clients idealizing celebrities to referencing politicians. Take a stroll through the upscale enclaves of Palm Beach or drop in on a soirée at Mar-a-Lago, and one thing becomes unmistakably clear: some people are starting to look remarkably similar. 7 The doctor claims that everyone in the ritzy enclave is beginning to look alike. Getty Images 'You go to Everglades Club in Palm Beach, you go to The Breakers, you're going to find that group of people who are put together. They take care of themselves. They want to look good,' Rowe said. Advertisement 'It's a very outdoor-oriented lifestyle and it's always warm, so you can't layer up and cover up with a turtleneck sweater.' Forget 'Instagram Face' — everyone now has 'Mar-a-Lago Face,' a curated blend of full lips, chiseled cheekbones, wide eyes, and smooth, taut foreheads that never wrinkle in worry. Rowe said his Palm Beach office now sees up to 15 people a day, mostly chasing the same look: Ivanka Trump's face. 7 Ivanka Trump is the face that Rowe claims he gets requested to copy the most in Palm Beach. Getty Images Advertisement But he has to manage expectations. 'If they say, 'I like her lips,' I can give you the lips, or the nose, but you have to have something to work with,' Rowe explained. 'If someone comes in, and they're 4-foot-11, 200 pounds, that's obviously not happening.' U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is another popular request, according to Rowe, who said his older clients think she looks 'wonderful.' 7 Rowe gets requests to copy U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's face.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, ambassador to Greece and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., is cited as one of the more aggressively enhanced examples, with overinflated lips and incredibly sharp features. But Rowe doesn't believe she's gone under the knife — just an avalanche of filler. Cosmetic procedures can range from Botox and fillers to jaw and chin implants, as well as increasingly popular thread lifts — a less invasive alternative to a traditional facelift that offers a perked appearance with minimal downtime. 7 Kimberly Guilfoyle, ambassador to Greece and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., is cited as aggressively enhanced.

Men are also entering the aesthetic arena, especially as political campaigns heat up. Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, for instance, sparked speculation last year after showing up at the Republican National Convention with a dramatically tighter 'Whoville' face and perpetually arched brows. Rowe said he's seen a surge in male clients — many of them politicians or aspiring public figures — seeking quick, effective treatments to freshen up for TV appearances and events. Advertisement 'I had people coming in for pretty aggressive lasering and things like that,' he said. 'As we got closer to Jan. 20, people wanted less and less done, but they wanted to look great for inauguration; all the parties were at that time.' 7 Former Rep.

Advertisement Rowe did note that although people would be standing next to Trump's face, no one has requested to replicate it. And while clients may be skimping on the crow's feet, they're not pulling back on the bills. A face-lift can cost up to six figures. A round of Botox at Rowe's office ranges from $500 to $3,000, and filler from $500 to $5,000, depending on how much is injected. And these aren't one-time procedures. Advertisement Botox typically lasts about three to four months, while lip filler should be touched up every six to 12 months. Some older, dedicated beauty queens are even re-upping their facelifts. 'I am seeing a lot of patients in their late 50s and early 60s coming in for second facelifts,' Upper East Side facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Alemi previously told The Post. 'I would say this is up 30% since a year ago.''

Hollywood plastic surgeons reveal which celebrities had Met Gala work… and the star who 'went a bit overboard'
Extravagant outfits were on full display at the Met Gala this week, but equally visible was celebrities' obsession with cosmetic 'tweakments' and surgeries. 'As the Met Gala continues to be a global barometer for beauty and style, it's clear that facial aesthetics are becoming just as influential as fashion on the red carpet,' said Dr. Norman Rowe, a celebrity-favorite plastic surgeon in New York. The expert told the Daily Mail he saw several hallmarks of brow and face lifts as wells as fillers and Botox on the carpet on Monday. 'When done correctly, facelift results are very natural,' he said. 'Many patients now prefer the subtle and longer lasting benefits of surgical lifts over fillers.' Based on photos from Monday's big night in New York City – which raised money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute with its annual ball – multiple plastic surgeons revealed to the Daily Mail which A-listers on the blue carpet have likely gone under the knife. The Oscar-winning star's noticeably smooth complexion and youthful complexion was on full showcase while she did an interview with Vogue on the blue carpet The Oscar-winning star's noticeably smooth and youthful complexion was dazzling while she gave an interview on the blue carpet. Even when letting out a big laugh, the Devil Wears Prada actor's forehead did not reveal one wrinkle or crinkle – leading many to wonder if she has undergone surgery. While the 42-year-old actress has not yet commented on ongoing speculations, Dr. Rowe believes she may have had a facelift and brow lift. 'Anne Hathaway's profile looks eloquently defined, and she has an overall lifted and rejuvenated look,' Dr. Rowe said. 'I'm not certain if or if not she has undergone surgery, but Anne's new look could be attributed to the combination of a lateral brow lift and a facelift.' A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens the face and neck by pulling a flap of skin on each side of the face back and removing the excess. The procedure can reduce sagging skin as well as smoothen folds on the cheeks and jawline. A brow lift intends to naturally lift the eyebrows and the adjacent skin surrounding the eyes and forehead, which results in a refreshed look without the telltale signs of surgery, according to Dr. Rowe. Read More What can bulls tell us about men? Additionally, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Fuller noted Hathaway has most likely undergone skin-tightening procedures to reverse laxity. Skin laxity refers to the loss of skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in sagging or loose skin. It is usually caused by a decline in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for providing structure and elasticity. 'Even several months ago there appeared to be very visible laxity and skin excess in the lateral cheeks,' he said. 'While at the Met Gala, her skin was tight, vibrant and rejuvenated. 'I don't think there is a non-invasive laser or treatment on the market that can obtain those results without surgical intervention.' Lana Del Rey may have undergone the knife to maintain her 'Old Hollywood aesthetic' and balance her features, Dr Christopher Costa said Newly-married Lana Del Rey may have gone under the knife to maintain her 'Old Hollywood aesthetic' and balance her features, Dr. Christopher Costa, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Las Vegas theorized. 'As far as her face is concerned, it's possible she's had a conservative rhinoplasty and some lip enhancement to balance her features while keeping her signature vintage vibe,' he said. Dr. Donald Yoo, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, also noted she may have had surgery to slim down her nose and undergone lip augmentation. 'When comparing photos of Lana Del Rey in her teens versus at the Met Gala, it does appear that she has benefited from some good cosmetic surgery to enhance the appearance of her face,' Dr. Yoo said. Pictured: Dr Donald Yoo, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon 'The disappearance of her dorsal hump on the bridge of her nose along with the overall slimming and changed appearance of the dorsal aesthetic lines on her nose would be difficult to explain without a rhinoplasty, whether surgical or nonsurgical. A dorsal hump, also known as a nasal hump or dorsal bump, is a visible bump or ridge on the bridge of the nose – typically caused by a combination of bone and cartilage. Dorsal aesthetic lines (DALs) are imaginary lines that define the ideal shape of the bridge of the nose when viewed from the front. They essentially depict the smooth, gently curving contours at the top that define the bridge's appearance, running from the inner brow towards the tip of the nose. 'The volume and shape of her lips do appear augmented beyond what simple makeup would achieve, and is likely the result of lip augmentation with fillers,' Dr. Yoo told the Mail. Basking in her 'brat summer' fame, Charli XCX also made an appearance at this year's Met Gala to celebrate the 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' theme of the night Basking in her 'brat summer' fame, Charli XCX also made an appearance at this year's Met Gala. While many thought that she underwent major surgery leading up to the event, Dr. Fuller disagrees. 'In my medical opinion, Charli XCX appeared the most natural at the Gala when compared to other celebrities,' he said. 'Her lips look much more like moisturizer and natural fullness rather than actual injected filler that can make anatomical landmarks more vivid. 'In the same way, her upper eyelids and skin around her eyes and mouth appear natural and not over-tightened or augmented. From my perspective, no invasive procedures were performed on Charli XCX.' However, Dr. Yoo thinks otherwise – stating she may have undergone a subtle nose job, as well as minor lip filler and brow lift. 'Charli XCX appears to have had a subtle rhinoplasty to slightly enhance the refinement of the tip of her nose,' Dr. Yoo theorized. 'Her lips also look to have benefitted from additional fullness from lip fillers. 'The change in shape and position of her eyebrows could be explained by makeup and grooming, but also suggests a surgical temporal brow lift to help elevate and enhance the lateral part of her eyebrows.' The former Bond girl has been in the limelight for over nearly four decades now and boasts legions of fans across the world. While Halle Berry's Oscar-winning performances have long mesmerized cinema lovers, it was her rejuvenated and wrinkle-free face that drew attention on Monday – even though it was covered by a veil. Read More Illegal abortion investigations rising, BBC told 'Halle Berry would be one celebrity I would point out that went a bit overboard on the cheekbone filler,' Dr. Fuller said. 'The cheekbones, is a common location to highlight and augment with filler due to the natural process of aging that causes volume loss and descent of the cheek skin. 'However, her gala appearance certainly looks less natural and more of the result of filler placed into the upper cheek. 'When contrasted with some of the volume loss and descent of her remaining cheek, it jumps out as an area that likely was treated prior to the event.' Dr. Fuller said she looked less postoperative and more like she had filler or Botox, 'particularly around her eyes and forehead.' Dr. Gizem Seymenoglu, a London-based facial aesthetics practitioner, claimed that Berry may have had injection 'sometime before March – possibly around February of this year.' The pop icon, 66, showed off a stunning unfiltered look as she wowed in a cream silk Tom Ford suit, designed by Haider Ackermann While many stars left fans wondering about whether they had undergone surgery, it was Madonna's undone look that stunned the crowd. The pop icon, 66, who was branded 'unrecognizable' after showing off her plump cheeks and pout in 2023, sported a less surgically altered look at the Met Gala this year. Dr. Fuller argues that it is likely not any new surgery or reversals the star has undergone, but instead suggests her face has finally healed from previous procedures and is now showing results. 'In Madonna's facial appearance, I use her facial evolution over time to illustrate not only the effects of multiple facial surgeries but the length of time that it takes to fully recover from surgery,' he said. 'Swelling and final results may not be seen for one to 2 years post-operatively, so celebrities like Madonna who cannot hide outside of media attention and cameras are going to be visible during their transformative months of healing. 'These temporary phases of healing stir controversy and attention as we as fans and plastic surgeons speculate on whether we are observing botched surgeries versus those that are in the process of healing.'
