Mar-a-Lago Faces: Plastic Surgery Echoes Elites’ Efforts to Please Trump
The “Mar-a-Lago face,” characterized by inflated lips, immobile brows, and sculpted contours, is gaining prominence among right-wing figures in Washington. This hyper-polished aesthetic, often compared to Real Housewives stars, is prevalent among the conservative elite who have moved to the capital since Donald Trump’s second inauguration. The Guardian notes that these features include puffy lips, frozen brows, and taut necks. Plastic surgeons suggest that this look, named after Trump’s private club, is sought after to broadcast artifice rather than refinement.
