7 MAGA Face Transformations You Have To See To Believe

By now, you probably already know what the MAGA face looks like. For whatever reason, women (and men) of the Trump-can-do-no-wrong sect seem to patronize the same plastic surgeons and use the same inspo pictures. The result is a poreless skin texture, unnaturally plumped cheeks, frozen facial expressions, and, of course, the overly filled-out lips. To be clear, the MAGA crowd isn't the first to get these surgeries. Over the past 100 years of plastic surgery, countless people have had these same tweaks, and countless more will.

However, the signature MAGA face feature is that these tweaks are overdone. Botox isn't used merely to correct wrinkling; it's overdone to freeze expression entirely and create a permanently tense, hyper-controlled look. Similarly, the lip injections aren't to restore fullness or correct an imbalance; they're pushed to exaggeration with little to no care about harmonizing with the rest of the face. These exaggerated tweaks are then finished with full-glam makeup and unnatural hair extensions, which cement the wanna-be model look. We're not entirely sure why this look is immensely common among the MAGA crowd, but we certainly can't wait for its popularity to die out.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is virtually unrecognizable

The U.S. ambassador to Greece has had one of the most notorious MAGA face transformations, and for good reason. When we spoke to a plastic surgeon about how Kimberly Guilfoyle's face has transformed, his professional opinion was that the "filler creep effect" (aka injecting new filler over old ones that have shifted or spread) was caused by overdone filler injections. Guilfoyle's overfilled cheeks look especially unnatural and erase the soft expression her original features held. Between that and the overdone makeup, she looks nothing like her previous self.

Melania Trump's transformation may be the most subtle of the bunch

Despite Melania Trump's claims that she abstains from injectables, she's clearly undergone some type of transformation that's not just age-related. This is much clearer in the throwback photos where Melania Trump looked unrecognizable with bangs and dark hair. However, the changes to her face aren't as talked about because they are a lot less exaggerated. What's up for debate is whether this change is majorly about a switch in beauty routines or subtly done aesthetic procedures. Either way, the MAGA face wouldn't have such a bad rep if its fanbase took lessons on moderation from her.

Kristi Noem went from mom-next-door to Barbie parody

Few face transformations have drawn as much backlash from both sides of the aisle as Kristi Noem's new look. Even without professional experience, it's obvious just how much has changed. From the puffed-up lips to the odd skin texture and the intensified makeup, she went all out on the MAGA face transformation. According to our plastic surgeon, Kristi Noem's face transformation is likely thanks to Botox, fillers, and a possible neck lift. Makeup-wise, she ditched her natural-looking brows for a darker, painted-on look that appears to be the result of amateur microblading.

Ivanka Trump's tweaks increase as she ages

Thanks to the first daughter's history as a model, her dabbling in aesthetic procedures started at an early age. When we spoke to a plastic surgeon about Ivanka Trump's face transformation, he pointed to her nasal bridge and cheeks as some possible pointers of early surgical work. These "well-executed" procedures, as Dr. Frederick Weniger exclusively described them to Glam, in addition to regular Botox and fillers, are likely responsible for how Ivanka's face has changed over the years. However, Ivanka's appearance at a January 2026 football game seemed to have some social media users convinced she'd begun stepping away from moderate tweaks to a full-blown exaggerated MAGA face.

Laura Loomer's new face drew criticism on social media

Conservative commentator and Donald Trump superfan Laura Loomer has a long history of plastic surgery tweaks. As far back as 2017, she's been outspoken about getting plastic surgery, including her lip filler and nose job. Unfortunately, there's a large difference between 2017 Loomer and her 2025 look. From the unbalanced brows to the static facial expression and the asymmetrical lips, it's clear that something went wrong with this MAGA face transformation. As expected, the internet's tendency to bully, paired with Loomer's history as a tyrant, resulted in her Instagram comments filling with criticism.

Lara Trump's new look leans into plastic territory

Before venturing into the world of politics, Lara Trump's looks were pretty distant from the typical MAGA face. However, over the years, the changes have gotten public attention. When we spoke to a plastic surgeon about Lara Trump's face transformation, he pointed to several key areas that showed aesthetic enhancements. For one, her brows are more arched than ever, which is likely a combination of a brow lift and lack of makeup skill. Additionally, there's obvious lip filler, Botox, and even a possible facelift.

Jeanine Pirro's new look borders on cartoonish

Former judge and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has an extensive history in the spotlight. Given her long career, it's not really surprising that she's had work done. However, what social media users can't stop talking about is just how exaggerated her new look is. Her cheeks, which were previously plump, now look overfilled and irregular. Beyond the surgical procedures, she also uses a lot heavier makeup than she used to. These changes make her almost unrecognizable but definitely a big offender of the "Mar-a-Lago face" trend.
