Melania Trump began her journey towards fame and the American Dream as a model in her home country of Slovenia. She moved to the US when she was just a teenager, and despite some tough years, the now-First Lady would find success in a very competitive industry.
Now, at 54, Melania has continued to take care of herself, both in body and mind. Even so, some experts claim she has undergone plastic surgery or received botox injections – something she has repeatedly denied.
Melania Trump has been praised for her looks for a long time, and the degree to which she has been able to fend off the aging process is quite impressive. So what’s the secret? One factor could be her makeup—and an expert has now revealed how she does it.
Melania and her husband, Donald Trump, are back at the White House. Four years after their exit after losing the election to Joe Biden, they’ve made their comeback, and the First Lady has gone on record to state that this time will be different.
“The difference is I know where I will be going, I know the rooms where we will be living. I know the process, the first time was challenging,” Melania told Fox. “But this time, I have everything — I already packed, I already selected the furniture that needs to go in. So it’s very different.”
The former model is reportedly set to split her time between the White House, Palm Beach, and New York City. She and Donald’s son, Barron Trump, enrolled at Stern Business School at New York University last fall, and Melania aims to do her best to be with him as much as possible to support him in the “Big Apple.”
As mentioned, Melania has promised that Donald’s second presidential term will be different for her, and others are inclined to agree. Speaking to Hello! Magazine, her official photographer, Regine Mahaux, states that her self-belief has grown a lot in recent months, and that a new First Lady is walking through the doors at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“She’s always been hands-on, but she’s more free nowadays to make a statement,” Mahaux said. “She’s a different person than she was eight years ago and has always been true to herself. This time, it feels like a different energy with new people that the President has surrounded himself with.”
“She’s always in the right place,” he added. “She’s always behind her husband. He’s in the light; she doesn’t need the light. She’s a very good number two. It’s always her husband first, and I like that; she has strong family values, to be a good wife and to make sure they’re happy.”
Melania started from humble beginnings in Slovenia. As a teenager, she moved to the US to pursue a career as a model, and did well for herself in the process. Over the years, the First Lady has always been considered a natural beauty, which has sadly led to rumors about her possibly having gone under the surgeon’s knife.
There’s been much speculation and rumor about her possibly benefitting from plastic surgery, Botox, or lip fillings. If certain ‘experts’ are to be believed, there is no doubt she has made some subtle changes to her appearance. This is, however, just speculation; no one can for sure say whether or not she has received cosmetic enhancements.
“Her face has a stony look from being overfilled and over-botoxed,” Dr. Franklin Rose told The Skincare Edit.
“Melania’s forehead is as smooth as a baby’s rear end, so she’s had liberal amounts of Botox for sure. Her cheeks, along with the nasolabial lines between the nose and corners of the mouth, likely have fillers. [Her rhinoplasty] is a beautiful job. Whoever is treating her now is just a little overzealous with the injectables.”
Melania Trump ‘has undergone plastic surgery,’ experts claim
Dr. Dev Patel, medical director of Perfect Skin Solutions in Portsmouth, agreed with Rose, saying there have been “obvious signs” of her “likely” having done botox treatments.
“She was giving a rather personal account of her background, yet her upper face was not moving in harmony with her words. In fact, it was not moving at all. This suggests too heavy doses are being used by her doctor,” he said.
A third expert, Dr. Jag Chana, says that when comparing pictures of Melania when she was younger and later in life, her nasal shape has changed.
“The nose is narrower and the tip is more refined. The very minor irregularities along the bridge line are suggestive of an osteotomy which is part of the procedure during a rhinoplasty, which narrows the nose. Compared to her younger photograph, the top lip appears fuller. This likely is a result of lip fillers. The forehead is completely smooth and wrinkle free—so likely Botox.”
“I would say Melania has had forehead contouring with filler to make it more rounded, with Botox to lift the brows,” a fourth expert, Dr. Munir Somji, adds. “She also appears to have had buccal fat removal to slim the face, alongside fillers around the jawline with radio frequency tightening to give a chiselled look.”
