Plastic surgeons wrestle with requests for 'Mar-a-Lago face': 'You're going to look like Maleficent'

OMFG WTF IS GOING ON WITH THESE PEOPLE?

Is it some new drug the GQPers are all huffing?

Much has been made of the so-called “Mar-a-Lago face”, or the uncannily smooth and artificially voluminous features seen on the likes of Maga elite such as Kristi Noem, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz. The bee-sting puffy lips, frozen brows and taut necks have been compared to Real Housewives stars, sleep paralysis demons and – ironically, considering the Republican party’s anti-LGBTQ+ culture war – drag queens (minus the campy fun).

As of January, plastic surgeons in Washington DC have seen a “surge in ‘Mar-a-Lago face’ requests from Trump insiders”, Axios recently reported. Surgeons told the outlet that more Washingtonians want their procedures to be not unnoticed but obvious and overdone.

Other plastic surgeons advertise Mar-a-Lago face. A practice out of Boca Raton, Florida – less than an hour away from Mar-a-Lago – calls it a procedure that “doesn’t scream surgery. Instead, it whispers refinement.” Dr Shervin Naderi, based in the DC area, described the look as “a modern aristocratic mask” in his practice’s blog.

1. I think it is useful that people mark a visible part of themselves to demonstrate

their lack of self awareness and absurd priorities. It saves the rest of us a lot of time which might otherwise be wasted getting to know them enough to reveal those ugly truths.

3. I thought the stupid red hats did the trick

But I guess they should be permanently reminded of their stupidity.

2. "doesn't scream surgery. Instead, it whispers 'Stepford Wives'."

6. Yeah, but the weird thing is Matt Gaetz is among them.

You remember the pedo who should be in jail?

Dr. Hartman, who has not worked with Gaetz, chalks it up, mostly, to an “overly heavy hand and poor placement” of neuromodulators like Botox. “It’s too heavy in the forehead and not lateral enough to prevent Spock Eye,” which is why Gaetz’s brows have that sharp, pointed angle like, well, Spock’s. “Plus, the glabellar injections [the vertical lines between the eyebrows] use an older technique that pushes the brow down and makes him look more menacing than usual,” he hypothesizes. “He also has lid ptosis bilaterally,” which means that the neuromodulator placement has caused his eyelids to droop.

9. Again, OMFG. They have to be on some designer drug.

They're all pretty much normally featured and beautiful women in the Before.

What exactly are they trying to morph into?

Wait, wait, I know. BLOW UP BAD BARBIE.

8. "Modern aristocratic mask"?

Are you kidding me, this look will be in the trash heap in a few years and
hopefully many of it's wearers will be jail.

10. 😲

...a procedure that “doesn’t scream surgery. Instead, it whispers refinement.”

No, dude not only does it scream "surgery" at the top of it's lungs, not only does it not whisper refinement, it screams and shrieks "look how ugly I am!"

[Americanme]

12. "whispers refinement..." only to people who hear voices in their head.

It screams "I am insane!", and "I do not know what normal looks like!".

13. To each their own

but they look like blow up dolls seen in cheesy movies in the 70's. Not judgement, just observation. But I am female and a grandma and despise what republican women are doing.

14. More like reupholstery than refinement.

[SamuelTheThird]

15. it whispers refinement.

18. Leavitt's facial reassignment work was unneeded. She had already won the genetic lottery for good looks.
