Subject: The Mar-a-Lago Face
I’m sure I’m not the only person wbo has noticed. In fact, I’m sure there are few people who haven’t noticed:

The Independent interviewed famed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Faryan Jalalabadi about the infamous ‘Mar-a-Lago Face’ that so many in Trump’s orbit have adopted: “It’s the tiny little pixie nose and big lips. The opposite of a natural face in which there’s a delicate balance of proportions. It is not the anatomically true way to do these things. When we age, our face not only loses a little bit of volume, but really, tissue becomes lax and kind of falls down. So, people think that they can lift tissue, but the only way to lift it with volume is to overfill. Then we see these overfilled high cheekbones, puffy-looking faces, bordering on non-human looks, because what happens is people keep going back for little maintenance touch-ups, trying to keep up with these high cheekbones and soft shadows. But unfortunately, they’ve now stretched all their tissue and they kind of accelerated the aging of their face with things like the Joker smile, where your lips are pulled too horizontally, or you get windswept eyes because the skin wasn’t set in a proper direction.
