The features of Melania and Ivanka Trump, the most requested in cosmetic surgery
This is what is happening now in the US, where real fortunes are paid to look like the wife and daughter of the president
The latest (and stupid) cosmetic fad in America is getting facelifts to look like Melania and Ivanka Trump. According to "The New York Times", Ivanka has positioned herself above other celebrities such as Kylie Jenner. More and more surgeons are receiving women who demand rhinoplasty or cheek implants to look like the first lady of the United States or the president's daughter. Speaking to Page Six, plastic surgeon Norman Rowe (New York) acknowledged that until Donald Trump entered the White House, no woman had asked him to look like them.
But since last summer, about 50 New Yorkers have come to his office begging him to widen their cheekbones, slim their noses and enlarge their eyes in hopes of resembling one of the two. "There are many women who come to our clinics with photos of Angelina and Fox," says plastic surgeon Rubén García-Guilarte. And he adds: "Serious professionals never accept this type of profile." Dr. Juan Peñas has not yet been asked for Melania's face, but Elsa Pataky's has been asked countless times, "because she is the benchmark for Spanish beauty", but only young people do it, "the most mature women do not want 'to look like ', but to be the maximum version of themselves».
Surgeon Julio Millán adds that “in addition, when someone shows us a photograph of an actress telling us that they want to look like her, we do not accept her as a patient because there is a risk that she will suffer from dysmorphia (a disorder caused by excessive concern for appearance). And we can't fix that. We still do not perform miracles, nor do we change one face for another. Antonio de la Fuente relates that the strangest thing that they have asked him, and by mail, has been that he spoil the face of a young patient simulating an accident to fix it completely later and that his parents cover the expenses that otherwise would not be to do.
"Naturally, I didn't answer that case," he says. Meanwhile, Dr. Ángel Martín affirms that the most requested faces at Clínica Menorca are that of Queen Letizia and Amaia Salamanca. “But we never operate under that criteria. And that some are willing to pay up to four times more than its price.
Morbidity and power
According to specialists, the two new White House tenants have become icons for the influential role they have acquired in society. "When an attractive woman is exposed to the media, they reach us with a clipping of her," says García-Guilarte. And it is demonstrated by Rowe that, in his interview with «Page Six», he says that the «fever» broke out in the summer of 2016, and since then, the demand for reproductions of his face is an average of four orders a month, one a week.
According to this surgeon, Ivanka's fans come more because of the desire to look like her as a powerful woman, than as a beautiful woman, because that gives them a lot of security. But the fault that the collective madness is unleashed is not only of these deranged women. The threat is in clinics like Franklin Rose's, where a surgeon in Houston (Texas) advertises his interventions with the promise that the final result will be to have the face of the first lady of the United States. The treatment is known as "Melania Makeover" and includes six aesthetic interventions (rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction, abdominoplasty, and breast and buttock prostheses), plus Botox sessions and fillers in different areas of the face and body. The price of mutation? Around 50,000 dollars -41,600 euros-. We already know that nonsense is very expensive.
