Kimberly Guilfoyle, ambassador to Greece and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., is cited in secular circles as one of the "most aggressive" examples of cosmetic surgery, with excessively "altered" lips and extremely pronounced features.
Without a doubt, one of the most popular people at Mar-a-Lago, the historic resort in Palm Beach, Florida, is the plastic surgeon. The reason is specific. Politicians, businessmen and ordinary people suddenly made a "turn" towards cosmetic procedures. Either because they had an important event to attend, or they wanted to look fresh in the photos of Donald Trump's inauguration inside the White House.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Norman Rowe, who operates in Manhattan, the Hamptons and Palm Beach, opened his Florida clinic after the pandemic. But about six months ago, he really "saw a big change" in his scheduled appointments, he told the Daily Mail.
Dr. Mark Epstein, a surgeon with two practices in New York, said he first saw a sudden surge in work in late summer of last year, a time when there is usually not much demand.
“I noticed things really started to improve and what I felt was a sudden change in consumer confidence, I have no other way to explain it,” Epstein, owner of Oceane Medical Aesthetics and Wellness in Hauppauge, previously told the Post.
Although consumer confidence has been shaken by talk of a possible imminent recession, trends in cosmetic procedures have not been affected. Surgical procedures have been on the rise for years, but experts are noticing a specific pattern of clients seeking to look like political celebrities.
As he points out, “take a walk through the upscale neighborhoods of Palm Beach or pass by an evening event at Mar-a-Lago and one thing becomes clear: some people start to look strangely similar to each other. Go to the Everglades Club in Palm Beach, go to The Breakers, and you’ll find groups of people who are uniform. They take care of themselves. They want to look good.”
Forget Instagram Face, as the trend is Mar-a-Lago Face, a "cocktail" that includes full lips, sculpted cheekbones, large eyes, and a smooth, taut forehead, on which not a single wrinkle is visible.
Rowe noted that his Palm Beach office now receives up to 15 people a day, and most are looking for the same look. The face of Donald Trump's daughter, Ivanka.

However, of course, there are limitations.
"If they say to me, 'I like her lips,' I can work on the lips or the nose, but you have to have something to work with," the plastic surgeon tells clients.
"However, if someone comes who is 1.50 meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms, it is clear that what she is asking for cannot be done," he explains.
United States Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noem is another popular choice, according to Rowe, who said that elderly clients in particular find her "wonderful."
The counterexample… of Kimberly Guilfoyle
Kimberly Guilfoyle, ambassador to Greece and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., is cited in secular circles as one of the "most aggressive" examples of cosmetic surgery, with her extremely "altered" lips and extremely pronounced features. However, Rowe does not believe she underwent surgery, but rather a "storm" of fillers.

Cosmetic procedures can range from Botox and fillers to jaw and chin implants, as well as thread lifts, a less invasive alternative to traditional face lifts, which offers a rejuvenated appearance with minimal recovery time and is gaining more and more fans over time.
Men need rejuvenation too
Although almost three out of four appointments are by women, men also sit in Rowe's waiting room, seeking an "injection" of renewal, especially before political campaigns.
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz, for example, caused a stir last year when he appeared at the Republican National Convention with an excessively narrow face and strongly arched eyebrows.
"Yes, I had people coming in for fairly aggressive laser treatments and other treatments like that. As we got closer to January 20th (Trump's inauguration date), people wanted less and less, but also to look great for the ceremony. "All the parties were planned for that period," the doctor pointed out.
He also recalled people telling him: "I want to look better, I'm going to be on TV." "I'm going to be next to Trump, in the Oval Office."
Price list of treatments
The cost of a facelift alone can reach… six figures. A Botox treatment at Rowe's office costs anywhere from $500 to $3,000, and fillers range from $500 to $5,000, depending on the amount of serum the surgeon uses. Of course, these aren't "one-time" procedures.
The effect of Botox usually lasts about 3-4 months, while lip fillers need to be renewed every 6 to 12 months.
Some older women even repeat… face lifts. / Adapted Pamphlet from Newsbomb/
