I tend to look on any article like this that is free of numbers/stats with a fair amount of suspicion. But still, lol at anyone who actually gets this kind of work.

D.C. plastic surgeons see surge in "Mar‑a‑Lago face" requests from Trump insiders

Since January, D.C. plastic surgeons have seen a wave of Trump insiders asking for overt procedures in line with the "Mar-a-Lago face" look.

What they're saying: Washington is typically an understated town regarding plastic surgery; people want to look good, but don't want it to be obvious they've had work done, says area plastic surgeon Troy Pittman, who works with a lot of Trump insiders.

But that's no longer the case since Team Trump 2.0 rolled into town: "[Now] we're seeing people who want to look like they had something done," he says.

And while old-school Beltway-ers tend to be hush-hush about their tune-ups, the "Palm Beach crowd" is all-systems-go, says Pittman, whose MAGA-verse clients will often chat procedures and trade doctor recs.

Fillers are big with this crew — especially lips, says Pittman, as are Botox and Dysport.

The intrigue: D.C. plastic surgeon Anita Kulkarni has had to turn down an influx of newly arrived political insiders asking for "a more done look, like that Mar-a-Lago face."

The aesthetic didn't fit her practice's typical understated vibe, and these people wanted extra fillers and injections on top of already treated faces, which can be dangerous, she says.

It's a situation Kulkarni calls "filler blindness." If you add more and more product to your face and are surrounded by people who do the same, "you lose sight of anatomic normalcy."

Between the lines: Kulkarni doesn't recall seeing such a dramatic deviation from D.C.'s typical aesthetic during Trump's first go-round.

That's possibly because "there were more establishment Republicans in the mix" then, she posits.

Plus, plastic surgery trends tend to be regional, Kulkarni says, and it's typical for people to get more work done in places like South Florida, where many MAGA faithfuls have roots.

This could be why local plastic surgeon Navin Singh's male politico patients veer more Republican than Democrat, he says — they're hailing from plastic surgery-popular states like Texas.

Zoom in: Speaking of the men, they're looking for procedures to appear "younger" and "more virile and masculine," says Pittman, in line with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's rhetoric surrounding military fitness and appearances.

On the menu: Botox, liposuction and eyelid rejuvenation.
